We publish this morning, to the exclusion of our general variety, the summing up, and the resolutions of the late Savannah Commer cial Convention, which we copy from the Re publican We may have something to say 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. ♦ ___ Col. Wood’s Museum remains on exhibition to-day and to-night, and leaves to-morrow morning for West Point. Call and gratify your curiosity, and spend a pleasant half hour.

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. . telegraph^! 1 Telegrnpbed to tho Daily s un FOUR DAYS LATER FROM EURopj I Arrival of the City of Bl t | mott ■ J COTTON FIRM-MONEY EASY |i Philadelphia, Dec t- I The steamship City of Baltimore arr j T j I this port this morning, with advices f'rotnY B erpool to the 3rd instant.
