about these matters hereafter.
A Oood Citizen Gone.
We are again called upon to chronicle the
death of a most worthy citizen, Mr. Sterling
F. Grimes, of the firm of Greenwood & Grimes,
of this city. Mr. Grimes was taken suddenly
very ill, about 4 o’clock yesterday morning,
and servived, as we learn, only about ten min
utes. He died of what is termed heart dis
ease. Mr. G. had been in bad health, more
or less, since the close of the summer, but the
larger portion of the time he was able to give
attention to business. He was attending to
husiuess most of the day previous to his death.
Mr. G. was one of the oldest business men of
Columbus, having been a merchant in this city
since the year 1830. lie was truly a business
man of the strictest integrity. He will be long
missed from the commercial circle.
His furneral will be preached at 3 o’clock
this evening at the Methodist Episcopal
Church, by the Itev. Doctor l’ierce.

Four Groat Battles in Nicaragua.
WALKKIt TRIUMPHANT.
The steamship Texas arrived at New Orleans
on the evening of the 10th from Sun Juan del
Norte, which place she left on the 6th instant.
Her news is cheering to the friends of Walker’s
success. Wo copy below a synopsis from the
New Orleans Delta:
The news from Nicaragua is of the most ex
citing and thrilling character aiuce our last
dates, Series of battles have taken place be
tween the American forces and the combined
forces of Central America, in all of which the
Vmericans have been entirely successful. On
t lie 10th ult. an engagement was had at a place
called Half-way-House, on the Transit road,
between 200 Americans, under Brig. Gen.
Hornsby, and 1100 of the enemy, under the
Costa Rican General Cauas.
The enemy were well fortified, but notwith
standing their superior number of meu, were
immediately routed with grout loss. The loss
on the American side was two killed and elev
en wounded; that of the enemy about 200 kill
ed. Among their killed was Gon. Caraca.—
\ftor the enemy had been dispersed, Gen.
Hornsby eamc up to Granada. The next day
Gen. Walker started from Granada with 200
men for Virgin Bay, where he arrived on the
12th inst. The enemy having learned the
smallness of the force under Gen. Hornsby
which had dispersed them again collected their
scattered forces, and again occupied their for
mer position. Gen. Walker marched to attack
them. The enemy hearing that Gen. Walker
commanded in person, fired a few rounds and
immediately retreated. They were immedi
ately pursued to San Juan del Sur, and from
that point along the coast until dispersed
throughout the country. About 160 of them
broke away from the army aud tied into Costa
Rica.
The loss of the enemy could not be ascer
tained; they were continually beiug shot as
they wore found aloug the road; probably
about 100. The Americans loss was 2 killed
and 9 wounded slightly. Immediately after
the victory Gen. Walker returned to Granada
in order to bike reinforcements and march up
on Massaya, where about 1500 of the enemy
remained. He took his line of march on the
15th ult., with 630 men; but hearing that a
number of the opposiug army had marched to
wards the relief of those who had beon beaten
on the Isthmus, he ordered the 2d Infautry,
under oomuiund of Col. Jacquess, to return to
Granada, thence to Trnnsit by steamer San
Carlos, to repulse such forces as may be found.
The remainder of the force marched on un
til near the city of Massaya, when they were
attacked by 000 of the enemy in ambuscade,
where a sharp fight took place, and the foe was
scattered in all directions. It was uscertaii ed,
ou entoring the town, that the enemy had pos
session of a ckircli aud the little plaza, which
were immediately attacked, and in a few min
utes gained possession of the church and pla
za, with au abundance of fresh provisions and
excellent water, without the loss of a single
man.
The enemy would not fight, except behind a
wall, and lieu Walker, after due consideration,
concluded to storm the stronghold and give
them nothing for a shield, which was according
ly done. The larger and more valuable pai t
of the city was destroyed, and after four days’
fighting the enemy were entirely vanquished.
After this was accomplished, Gen. Walker
returned to Granada to execute further plans,
which were well considered, namely, that
Granada beiug u very sickly place, it was dis
advantageous for the troops to return there,
and he had long since concluded to make Rivas
the capital, and knowing upon an evacuation
of Granada that the town might be occupied
by the enemy with advantage, he determined
to burn the place, and accordingly gave three
days notice to all persons to remove all goods
and valuables, and at the end of the time he
fired the town—not leaving a vestige of a sin
gle building—removing all his stores with pro
visions and inhabitants to Virgin Bay. He will
thence remove to ltivus, which he has made
the capital. It is supposed that during all the
battles since October the enemy have lost 3,000
men.

RESOLUTIONS OF THE SOUTHERN
COMMERCIAL CONVENTION.
Passed at its Session in Savannah, Dec. 1856.
PACIFIC RAILROAD.
Resolved, That in the opinion of this Con
vention the Federal Government possesses no
constitutional power to construct a railroad to
the Pacific Ocean.
Resolved, That a railroad ought to be con
structed from the Mississippi river, by the way
of El Paso, along or near the 82d degree of
north latitude, to the Pacific Ocean; that this
road should consist of separate aud continuous
sections ; that it should be incorporated and
constructed under the authority of the States,
and so far as they can constitutionally do so,
by the Territorial Legislatures, and that the
means of construction should be derived from
individuals, corporato and State contributions,
together with such aid as may be obtained
from grants of the public domain, for postal
and military contracts, or any other servieo
which may be lawfully rendered to the Feder
al Government by said company.
Resolved, That it is hereby recommended to
the southern andsouth-western railroad compa
nies, that in the event any section of the said
road shall remain incomplete, or without au
thority of construction by responsible parties,
they shall obtain an act of incorporation, au
thorizing them or someone or more of them,
to undertake the construction of such incom
plete section; and this convention hereby in
voke for the enterprise of the construction of
said railroad, or any part thereof, the aid and
approval of all true citizens of the South,
whether in private life or public station, for
the completion of a work upon which depends
greatly the permanency of the Union, and the
defence, development and independence of the
South.
Resolved, That this Convention adopt the
resolutions of its last session, recommending
the construction of a Pacific railroad upon the
route indicated in the resolution by the means
of the Southern States, corporations and peo
ple.
Resolved, That a committee of one from
each Southern State here represented, be ap
pointed to examine the position and advantages
of the several Southern Atlantic ports with a
view to our Atlantic terminus of the Pacific
Railroad, and the establishment of a depot
for domestic aud foreign trade, and report the
same to the next session of this Convention.
RAILROADS BETWEEN THE SOUTHERN ATLANTIC
AND GULF STATES.
Resolved, That this Convention recognises
the importance of the speedy connection by
Railroad of the Southern aud Gulf States, and
as a means of accomplishing this object, this
Convention recommends to the favorable con
sideration of the respective Legislatures of
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana aud
Texas, the importance of an early completion
of the Road from West Point, Georgia, to the
Mississippi River, by the way of Montgomery
and Selma, in Alabama, to the Mississippi
line, to connect with Jackson & Brandcn road
in Mississippi, aud tho Vicksburg & Shreve
port in Louisiana, and thence to connect with
the Southern Pacific road, chartered by the
State of Texas.
Resolved, That this convention regards in
ter oceanic communication across the Isbruus
of Tehuantepec as important to Southern in
terests, aud that the enterprise undertaken at
New Orleans, by virtue of the contract with
Mexico, mentioued in the Gadsden treaty, de
serves encouragement.
ltesoleved further, That this Convention, in
order to encourage said enterprise, earnestly
recommends the Government of the United
States to contract with the Tehuantepec Com
pany, incorporated by the State of Louisiana
and domiciled at New Orleans, for the trans
portation of the United States mail from New
Orleans across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec to
San Francisco, on as favorable and liberal
terms as are now contained in existing con
tracts for the performance of similar services.
LOUISVILLE AND CUMBERLAND CAD RAILROAD.
Resolved, That in view of the importance of
connecting at the earliest period the waters of
the Chesapeake Boy witli those of the Ohio
and the Mississippi, it be urged upon the Le
gislature of Keutucky to complete the remain
ing link by constructing a railroad from the
city of Louisville to the Cumberland Gap, to
meet the improvements of the State of Vir
ginia.
.MINING AND MANUFACTURES,
Resolved, That whilst Agriculture is, and
proporly should be, the predominant pursuit
of the people of the states represented iu this
Convention, the interests of the States would
be very greatly promoted by tho employment
of capital in other pursuits, aud especially in
manufactures and mining ; that the abundance
and cheapness of the means of subsistence, of
fuel and water-power, the temperature of the
climate, and other natural advautages, will, if
properly improved, secure to these states, a
virtual monopoly of manufacture as well as
the growth of cotton ; that it is believed the
present cost of transporting this staple abroad
will more than cover the expense of manufac
turing it at home; and that, as an investment for
; security, for certainty of result and uniformi
| ty of income, the factory aud the mine, when
J properly managed, have no superior.
Resolved, That in matter of railroad con
| struction and equipment, it is the duty of all
I companies at the South to encourage such lo
motive and machine works us may be establish
, ed among us.
Whereas, The demand for our great staplo
must be increased by lessening the cost of its
fabrication, and avoidance of uunccssary trans
portation of tho material anl fabric; and
whereas, there is on and near our cotton plan
tations, the most abundant power, in unvary
ing and inexhaustible senms of bituminous
1 coal, in districts where the climate is peculiar
i ly favorable to the operations of manufac
turing, and where the supplies of food for op
eratives are and must continue to be cheap aud
certain, and where, consequently, our cotton
could be changed into its most valuable forms
with extraordinary facility, and where capital
and labor wculd be attracted, and would be
within the sphere of our influence, if the facts
were fully understood at home and abroad;
therefore be it
Resolved, That appropriate measures should
be taken, it not by the general government, at
least by the Legislatures of the cotton plant
ing states, to obtain and publish all the facts
that will throw light ori the relative advantages
of southern and western localities for carrying
ou the branch of manufactures, and showing
where all the elements that enter into the cot
ton frabric, would be brought and combined
with the vast expenditure of capital and la
bor.
Whereas, A patent having been lately grant
ed by the government to a citizen of Mobile,
for a process, of combination of machinery,
by means of which, by a continuous process,
cotton may bo converted into marketable yarn,
involving but small expense, and calling into
requisition the surples labor of the field,
therefore it is suggested by this <’Op vent ion
that this subject should receive tho earnest
consideration of the planting interest, as one
calculated largely to increase its wealth.
FOUNDRIES, ETC.
Resolved, That the establishment of foun
dries and works for casting of cannon and the
manufacture of arms should be recommended
to the-attention of the several Southern States.
BOAT AND SIIII* BUILDING.
Whereas, The primary object of this Con
vention is to encourage and promote Southern
wealth and development, which brings strength
and practical home improvement in its train,
therefore be it
Resolved, That in order to encourage ship
and boat building, an object of indispensable
improvement to the southern independence
and home sustaining efforts, state and mu
nicipal aid and encouragement should be given
to such home built vessels.
AGRICULTURAL AND MECHANICAL FAIRS.
Resolved, That it be recommended to the
several local and state and agricultural and
mechanical associations to provide for occa
sional fairs at points which shall be accessible
to all, and that the State Legislatures be re
commended to make appropriations in aid of
such object.
DEFECTIVE POLICE.
Resolved, That a select committee be ap
pointed to consider and report to the next
meeting of this Convention, for its considera
tion, a system of defective police iu the south
ern states, supported by planters and slave
holders; also, a system of finance, and the
propriety of incorporating a planter’s union.
NAVAL SCHOOLS.
Whereas, It is the opinion of this Conven
tion that to give stability and importance to
our Southern commerce, we should open a di
rect foreigu trade, not with one country alone,
but with every country whose products can be
advantageously exchanged for ours, to accom
plish which, it is an indispensiblc preliminary,
that we increase and diversify our mnrati: e
interests, by inducing aud training our people
to embark in that pursuit, therefore be it
Resolved, That in the opinion of this Con
vention, it is essential to the success of any
effort on the part of the South to establish
commercial independence, that schools for the
rearing anil education of seamen, should be
established in each of the Southern States.
Resolved, That this Convention should me
morialize the Legislatures of the different
Southern States to establish and sustain insti
tutions, where should be received and educated
apprentices for the marine service.
TEXT BOOKS FOR SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES.
The Committee on business, to which had
been referred the several communications on
the subject of text books for Southern schools
and colleges, recommend a return to the sys
tem of Eton aud Oxford, upon which was bas
ed the education of the speakers and writers
of the South, at the beginning of this country,
and the adoption of the following resolutions:
Resolved, That Profs. Bleusoe, McGuffey,
of Va., and Brest. Smith, of Randolph aud
Macon College, Va., lion. George U. Badger
and D. L. Swain ofN. C., Right Rev. Bishop
Elliott and J. Hamilton Conger, of Ga., Prof.
John LeConte, Rev. J. 11. Thornwell, llev. J.
\V. Miller and Rev. Dr. Curtis, of S. C., Prest
Tallmadge, of Ga., Dr. Lacy, of N. C., Ashbel
Smith of Texas, Prest. Longstrect of Miss., Dr
Garland of Ala., Chas. Gayarre, of La., Dr.
Richard Fuller of Md , and Dr. Alonzo Church
of Ga,, be requested by this Convention to take
this matter under their auspices, and select and
prepare sucli a series of books in every depart
ment of study from the earliest primer to the
highest grade of literature and science, as shall
seem to them best qualified to elevate and puri
fy the education of the South.
Resolved, That encouragement of the South
ern public is due and should be given to those
publishers of school books among us who have
already issued, or have in course of publica
tion series of school books adapted to the wants
of our youth.
PERIODICALS AND LITERATURE.
Resolved, That if the habit of subscribing to
Northern journals be adhered to by our peo
ple, it becomes them, at least, to encourage
such only as prove themselves conservative in
their character, and in no respect allied with
tho enemies of our rights and institutions.
Resolved, That it is the duty of the South
ern people to give earnest encouragement to
the several literary and industrial periodicals
now established in their midst, and to with
draw their support from such as arc published
in the Northern States, and are inimical to
Southern rights.
SOUTHERN INSTITUTIONS OF LEARNING.
Resolved, That this Convention looks with
peculiar gratification upon the prosperous con
dition of the several Stuto institutions and the
praiseworthy exertions of the different Chris
tian denominations in the cause of education,
within the States here represented, and hereby
tender to them its grateful recognition of their
momentous work, and the remarkable success
which has crowned their toils.
Resolved, That this convention earnestly re
commends to all parents and guardians, within
these States to consider well, that to neglect
the claims of their own seminaries and colleges
and patronize and enrich those of remote States,
is fraught with peril to our sacred interests,
perpetuating our dependence on those who do
not understand aud cannot appreciate our ne
cessities and responsibilities, and at the same
timo fixing a lasting reproach upon our own
institutions, teachers and people.
CHESAPEAKE AND MILFORD HAVEN STEAM LINK.
Resolved, That iu the opinion of this Con
vention there is no truism in polilicul econo
mv which addresses itself more forcibly to the
favorable consideration of the slaveholding
States at the present time, than that by agri
culture we live and by commerce wo thrive.
Resolved, That the projected weekly ferry
line of iron steamships of 20.000 tons between
the Chesapeake Bay and Milford Haven, as
originated in the pamphlet letter of A. Dudley
Matin, promises to ameliorate the commercial
and strengthen the political condition of the
South, and that therefore it commends itself
to the immediate uud favorable consideration
of Southern citizens.
Besolvod, That in the opinion of this Con
ven ion, from calculations that may bo deemed
reliable, such steam ferry lines would have the
cap leity to carry annually a larger amount of
■ the . iple products of the South, and conse
quently of merchandize generally, than 300
suiting ships of 100 tons each.
Resolved, That in the opinion of this Con
vention the steam ferry line, when established,
will effect an entire revolution in the traffic
of the world, in which the slaveholding States,
will be the principal beneficiaries, and that it
will carry, at no distant day, the mails, the
passengers, the gold and silver, and the less
ponderous articles of merchandise from Aus
tralia, China, the East Indies, Japan, the South
and Central American States, Mexico, the
West Indies and California, to Great Britain,
France, Germany and other European coun
tries, thus affording lucrative employment to
the railroads, and increasing value thereby to
the property of the South.
Resolved, That in the event of a war be
tween the United States and any foreign pow
er, it is probable that the steam ferry line
would be one of the strongest arms of the na
■ tional defence, and that each vessel in such
line contrasted with the most powerful steam
ers now afloat, would, on account of her
strength and speed, bens a giant among dwarfs.
Resolved, That in the opinion of this Cou
vetrttmr, this-stirptnidinis southerrr enterprise
is peculiarly deserving of aid to the extent
which it is asked of every southern citizen who
can conveniently afford to render such aid, the
| scheme precluding any individual from sub
scribing for two shares of the stock until all
southerners shall liave had an opportunity of
1 subscribing for one share.
’ Resolved, That in the opinion of this Con
vention, every exertion which honor and in
terest can excite, ought to be resolutely made
by citizens of tbe slaveholding States to extri
cate themselves from commercial dependence
upon other sections of the Union; and they
should do their own carrying trade, their own
buying, and their own selling, and thus save
to themselves the hundred millions of dollars
which they annually bestow of their substance
on States which probably manifest an inclina
tion to deprive them of their very means of ex
istence.
STEAM COMMUNICATION WITH SOUTH AMERICA
Whereas, a petition has been presented to
the Congress of the United States by Messrs.
Robert M. Stratton, Samuel L. Mitchell, Wm
H. Webb, and Thomas Rainey, representing
the North and South American Steamship Com
pany, whose stock is owned in the city of Sa
vannah and the city of New York, for a small
aud reasonable appropriation for transporting
the mails from the Atlantic seaboard and the
Mississippi valley to and from the West India
Islands, Brazil, the Republic of La Plata and
other countries in South America ; and where
as, the line would prove partially beneficial to
the commerce and prosperity of tbe South, by
making Savannah the last city touched by the
steamers before proceeding to the West Indies,
and the first touched on their return to the
United States ; and whereas, this is the first
mail line that has proposed opening direct,
rapid and reliable communication with the rich
aud expanding fields of commerce embraced in
the West Indies, Brazil, the Republic of La
•Plata, the Amazon and the Orinoco and of Ve
nezuela and New Granada, therefore
Resolved, That tho Convention respectfully
and earnestly recommends this subject to the
favorable consideratian of Congress.
EQUAL RIGHTS OF TIIE STATES IN THE TERRI
TORIES.
Resolved, That the security and honor of
the South demand that she should maintain
her equal rights in the Territories of the Uni
ted States, and that she ought to resist at eve
ry cost any attempt, wherever made, to ex
clude her from these Territories.
Resolved, That the unprecedented effort
now beiug made by the Northern people,
through the instrumentality of emigrat aid so
cieties, to force a hostile population into the
Territory of Kansas affords a startling evidence
of the determination of our enemies to effect
by indirect but most effective means the pur
pose of the Wilmot Proviso to wall up the South
within her present limits, and prevent the ad
mission of any slaveholding State into this Un
ion.
Resolved, That in the opinion of this Con
vention counter-emigration from the South is
the most practicable, peaceful and effectual
means of frustrating this freesoil sebeme, and
that the Convention most earnestly recom
mend to the people of the Southern States to
organize plans promotive of Southern emigra
tion to Kansas, and by every lawful means
within their power, to assist the settlement of
Southern men therein.
SOUTHERN DEFENCE.
Resolved, That it should be required by the
Representatives of Southern States in congress
whether their respective States and the South
as a whole, have received the full quota of arms
distributable under Acts of Congress; aud also,
whether there is placed within their limits, in
the arsenals of the United States their full
proportion of all the arms of every kind and
a!! the munitions of war, camp and and other
equipage of the United States, wherewith troops
I ot all kinds may be equipped on emergency,
j and if either be found not to be the case, then
they should urge such immediate actiouordis
j tribution, as may be needed to place the South
j in that respect upou a footing of equality.
| Resolved. That enquiry ought to be institu
ted by Congress into the most efficient .means
! at the present day, for the defence of coasts and
harbors against attacks by steam and other
ships of war, aud in regard to the size of ves
sels and guns that may be most efficiently used
insuoli defence: and that the Senators and Rep
resentatives from the Southern States should
insist upon all the important ports and harbors
: of those States on the seaboard and gulf being
: supplied, uud kept supplied with the most im
, proved means and armament for prompt and
■ efficient defence.
CENTRAL AMERICA.
Resolved, That the sympathies of this Con
vention are with the efforts being made to in
troduce civilization in the States of Central
America, and to develop those rich and produc
tive regions by tbe introduction of slave labor.
SOUTHERN STATISTICS.
Resolved, That the President of this Conven
tion appoint a committee of five, in each of the
siuveholding States, to report to the next an
! nual Convention of said States, all the valuable
statistical information in regard to their manu
facturing facilities and mineral resources, es
pecially tbe disposition of coal, iron, slide, mar
ble, copper aud limestone.
CORSE S PON DIN 0 CO MM ITTEE.
Resolved, That the chair appoint a commit
tee of three from each of the States here rep
resented for the purpose of bringing the resolu
tions iind recommendations which have parsed
this Convention, ntul which require the action
of the scTcral Slate Legislatures to give them
practical force, pioperly before the notice of
said bodies.
THE NEXT CONVENTION.
A resolution was adopted, authorising the
President of the Convention to appoint a Com
mittee to prepare u call for the next Convention
und au address to the people of the South,
which .was adopted.
The President announced Messrs. Dellow, of
Louisiunn, Swan, of Tennessee, Cochran, of
Alabama, Bouiware, of Virginia, and King of
South Carolina as the members of that Com
mittee.
