freights on the Alabama.
We learn from an Advertisement of Messrs.
Cox, lhainard & Cos., in the Montgomery pa
pers, that they havo put down freights on the
Ahihuma ltiver to 30 cents per barrel on all
articles except Molasses, for which 50 cents is
charged. The mail says this is very low,
and wishes molasses had ‘•tumbled” ns well
as the rest, for says the Mail, “if there is
any thing that our North Georgia friends ‘han
ker after,’ it is ‘sweetenin'.’ Our railroad
mice sent forward 1500 barrels, in one week,
and in doing so, lubvicated the rails to such nn
extent, that tlio mail trains couldn’t make
time, whereby the company became liable to
several fines. The Postmaster General remit
ted the linos, because the Georgians couldn’t
get along without their molasses.”
We therefore plead for the “weetenin .”

Sudden Death ol’ a Minister.
We learn from the Montgomery Journal that
the Ttcv. Mr. Evans, of the Methodist Episco
pal Church, who was in attendance at the an
imal meeting of the Methodist Conference, at
Tuskegee, after adjournment of that body on
Wednesday evening last, started to the resi
dence of a friend, with whom he was sojourn
ing, hut, before reaching the house, died sud
denly in the streets. This worthy Divine, who
had been louga bright and burning light, was
in the sear and yellow leaf of life, and had
reached liis 75th year. It is supposed that his
sudden death was caused from apoplexy, lie
died with his armor on, having just retired
from duties which had brought him there to
perform, in co-operation with hi* brethren, for
ilie good of the church.
Alabama Conference.
This body convened its annual session at
Tuskegee last week, and had not adjourned
when last hoard from. The Republican con
tains an editorial notice of some of its doings.
On Friday a resolution was adopted to ap
point an agent for the Auburn Male College,
thereby indicating that our friends at that
beautiful village, have by no means abandoned
the idea of building up a first class college at
that place. We are glad thus to learn that
they adhere to their original resolution, in
which we wish them great success.
A report was also made by the Secretary of
the Board of Trustees of the Southern Univer

ceedingly gratifying not only to the Uenouai

the whole South. The funds reported as be
longing to the institution were estimated at
upwards of $200,000. The main building, as
wo understand the report, had been contracted
for, and the foundation stones laid. It will
no doubt now go ahead as fast as it Is practi
cable for it to do.
On Monday a report was made on the sub

represented it to be in a most flattering and
flourishing condition.
On Monday night an educational meeting

Hocar,.—After the customary preliminary
business had been disposed of, Mr. Etheridge,
of Tennessee, moved to suspend the rules in
order that lie might ottor the following resolu
tions :
Resolved, That tlio House of Representa
tives regards all suggestions and propositions
of every kind, by whomsoever made, for a re
vival of the African slave trade, as shocking
to the moral sentiments of the enlightened
portion of mankind, and that any action on
the part of Congress conniving nt.or legaliz
ing that horrid and inhuman traffic would just
ly subject the government and the citizens of
the United States to reproach and execration
of all civilized and Christian people through
out the world.
A running debate followed in the shape of
personal explanations, many members announc
ing their determination to vote against the
motion, not that they wereiu favor of re-open
ing the African slave trade, but because they
did not approve of the language, arguments,
or object of the resolution. Mr. Orr, of South
Carolina appealed to Mr. Etheridge for tlio op
portunity to offer the following resolution as a
substitute:
Resolved, That it is inexpedent. to repeal
the laws prohibiting the slave trade.
Mr. Etheridge declined to accede to Mr.
On’s request, and under the operation of the
previous question, Mr. E.’s resolution was fi
nally adopted l>y a vote of 152 yeas to 57
nays. Mr. Orr then asked and obtained con
sent to offer the following resolution:
Resolved, That it is inexpedient, unwise und
contrary to the settled policy of the United
States, to repeal the laws prohiting the Afri
can slave trade.
After a brief debate, this resolution was
adopted by a vote of 183 yeas to 8 nave : soon
after which the House adjourned.
Prom Washington.
Correspondence of the Charleston Standard.
Washington, Dec. 17. — Messrs. Editors :—
The discussion yesterday, in the Supreme
Court, was one of peculiar interest to the
whole country, but particularly to the South
ern Slav* States. I refer to the case of Dred
Scott yh. John F. A. Sanford. This was an
action of trespass brought in the Circuit Court
of the United States for the District of Mis
souri, by the plaintiff’ in error claiming to be
a citizen of the State of Missouri, against the
defendant a citizen of New York.
Three questions of vast interest are presen
ted in the pleadings.
1. Does a temporary residence of a slave in
a free State secure a right to freedom which
may be enforced by him after a voluntary re
turn with his master to a slave State.
2. Are free negroes citizens, under the Con
stitution of the United States, capable of sue
ing in the Federal Courts.
3. Has Congress the constitutional power to
legislate on the subject of slavery ?
These are questions of great moment, politi
cally, and are now, for the first time, brought
directly in issue before the highest judicial tri
bunal known to the Constitution. It is to be re
gretted that the cause of the plaintiff’ could not
have been argued by the ablest men of the Black
Republican party. Cue Montgomery Blair,
Esq., of this city, appears for Died Scott, and
he is not a Wirt nor a Henry, a Webster nor a
Clay. Ho frankly stated that he made every
effort to obtain assistance, but all refused.
Mr. Seward was too much engaged to prepare
himself, and Messrs. Giddinge, Hale, Fessen
den, and others of the “black rascals,” would
not touch poor Drcd's case unless paid for it.
For the defendant, appeared lion. Kevcrdy
Johnssn and Senator Geyer, of Missouri, Mr.
Johnson, llearn was a volunteer, wishing, ns
he did, to have the points fully argued. The
third point, however, will lie (lodged liy the
Court, if possible, aud this is to be regretted,
asji decision of this question would at once
dry up one of the most prolific sources of mis
chief and sectional agitation.
The Court room lins been crowded from tlio
commencement of the argument up to the time
of Mr. Johnson's closing to-day. Mr. Blair con
cludes the argument to-morrow. The cose, I
predict, will go off ou the second poiut, the
Court deciding Dred Scott not to be a citizen,
**d, consequently, not entitled to sue.

Minnesota is about to take the initiatory
steps for admission into the Uuiou as a State,
through its delegate, Mr. Rice. It is estima
ted that a census to determine the number of
representatives to which she would be entitled,
if now taken, would show a population of noar
ly or quite two hundred thousand, and that,
by the time it shall be taken it will amount to
a number sufficient to givo thisflourishing ter
ritory a right to at least three representatives.
In 18t>0 it is estimated that the population will
have become half amillion, andthat, even with
the highest probable ratio of representation,
she will be entitled to four representatives.

T he Vice President illect,
A letter from Kentucky, published in the
New York Journal of Commerce, gives an in
teresting s'.'tetcli of John C. Breckenridge, from
which we anake the following extract.
Major Breckenridgc's father, the late Joseph
Cabell Breckenridge, a most eminent citizen
of Kentucky, died at uu early age, in 1828.
leaving his only son, John, an infant not quite
three years old; and leaving several daugh
ters and a youug widow, who was a daughter
of Dr. Samuel Stanhope Smith, of New Jer
sey, a grand daughter of Dr. John Wither
spoon, of Revolutionary memory, and lineal
descendant of the great John Knox, the Scotch
Reformer. From the death of his father till
lie graduated at the College of Danville, Ky.,
under the care of his brother-in-law, Dr. John
O. Young, then and now President of that
College —which lie did when about seventeen
years old—he was supported by his father’s
mother. That venerable lady, now nearly 80
years of age, was left a widow in early life by
the death of that John Breckenridge who was
so distinguished a leader of the old Democrat
ic party, in the days of Adams and Jefferson,
and has devoted all her subsequent life and all
her ample fortune, to nets of generosity, aud
to her children their piosperty —having lived
to hless four generations of them. As soon as
Major Breckenridge quit College, lie commenc
ed the study of law. with Judge Win. Onslcy,
and it was tiiis gentleman who afterwards, as
Governor of Kentucky, gave him the commis
sion of Major in one of the Kentucky regi
ments wbicn went to Mexico, an extraordinary
mark of personal confidence, as was thought
at the time, fully justified by the young man’s
conduct in the army. Before he was of full
age, or about the time, lie and Thomas W.
Bullock. Esq., a native <d’ Kentucky and now
a lawyer of Lexington, in that State, com
menced the practice of law at Burlington,
lowa, whence after a year or two, both of them
returned to Kentucky, and Major Breckenridge
married a Miss Barcb, of Scott county, a lady
of moderate fortune and great excellence,) and
settled in the county town of that county
(Georgetown) in tlio practice of the law. Not
long (afterwards he removed to Lexington,
(where, I believe, he was horn,) and where he
has resided lor ten or twelve years past, lie
was elected twice to the Legislature of Ken
tucky, twice to Congress, and now Vice Presi
dent—the remarkable fact being, that his elec
tions lmve always been carried against heavy
and decided party majorities, so far as Ken
tucky was concerned—a distinguished testimo
ny to the personal character of the man, five
times repeated, and never refused 1
He is a, lawyer in full practice ; about thirty
six years old; possessed of moderate, perhaps
hardly competent, fortune, considering liis
public position; and is the father of five or six
young children. This is just the unvarnished
truth of the career of Major 8., from his birth
till this day.
The writer of these lines personally know
all the facts and all the people material in this
statement. As lor Major Breckenridge, I have
known him since liis birth, and am old enough
to be liis father. Every time he was ever tried,
no matter at what, he did better than was ex
pected, and keeps on doing so. Every time
he ever appealed to mankind, ho was found to
possess the most absolute spirit of popularity,
as Lord Clarendon said of John Hampden, of
any man of his day. As to his party politics,
I have not a word to say. As to his being
Vice President at thirty-six, 1 consider that
bis greatest misfortune and nearly a misuse
of four of the best years of early manhood of
one like him. He is propably the only man
who ever held that office who did not desire it,
and tried to avoid it. But I. who differ from
him in many things, nml who have no earthly
motives to magnify him, hesitate not to say,
and 1 say it with profound conviction, that I
should consider my country safe, no matter
what party rules, if all party leaders were as
able, as upright, and as patriotic as this young
man. There is no need of fabulous state
ments to give character to men like this. The
story of his life, truly told—for the sake not
only of the past, but of that future which,
unless 1 greatly err, God lias in store for him.
Seven years ago I was listening to him at a
meeting, the night before one of liis elections,
as he repeated in outline the terrible canvass
he had passed through, and was summing up,
with groat ardor, the probable result. “They
say they will beat me. They will not, if my
friends are true to me.” “True to you—beat
you ! ” exclaimed a man, perhaps the humblest
in the audience. “We will muko you Presi
dent before we are done with you.” And the
whole audience responded, with bursts of en
thusiasm, to un utterance apparently so extra
vagant, but which, in reality, only made audi
ble a profound popular instinct! The Greeks
would have ealled it an omen; but ii was
more. It was a proof that there are public
men—not ninny—but there are such—whom
parties do not use, but love! All is said in
that one word. This is a man whom his party
loves. And who will rise up and say this man
docs not deserve that love.
Knocked Under at Last.
The Planters and Mechanics’ Bank at Dal
ton has caved. The Dolton Times of the 18th
instant, says:
We publish in another column the card of
Capt. Morris, setting forth the dilfliculties he
lias encountered in attempting to rescue the
Planters & Mechanscs’ Bank from the control
ot a set ot ‘Wild Cat’ financiers and swindlers
to whom the charter was originally sold. Ow
ing to the efforts now being made by the noto
rious Kibbec and his conferees to swindle this
Bank, of which Capt. Morris is the principal
owner, it has found it ueccssery to refuse to
redeem at its counter, the entire issue of that
class of notes of which Kibbec, Preston A Cos.
have fraudulently possessed themselves. The
Bank, of course, under existing difficulties
will be compelled to wind up. Capt Morris is
an honest man, and will do all in his power to
protect innocent bill holders, but such notes
as have been fraudulently obtained from the
Bank, will not and ought not to be redeemed,
where, the discrimination can be made, lie
has exerted himself, with liis large means and
witli a laudable purpose, to make the Bank
what the necessites of the country required—
a good and sound home institution—but lie
has been overt cached by Kibbec and his infa
mous associates. We regret that Morris’ pur
pose have been thwarted, but it would be
worse than folly to attempt to keep up the
Bank under the reputation these unfortunate
difficulties have brought upon it.

It so happens that the Jailor of the county,

safety. Just as a heavy blow was about being
inflicted on him, by one of the rioters, an uu

The Memphis Eaglo of last Saturday, says:
We have learned some particulars iu reference
to the late negro troubles in the vicinity of
Clarksville, in this State, and of Hopkinsville,
in Kentucky, from a gentleman of unquestion
able veracity, just returned from Kentucky,
which deserve to be chronicled. Our infor
mant states that there is nuabolitiuti neighbor
hood in Illinois, composed of several counties,
which, a year or two ago, ran off’ all the free
negroes in that part of the State, amounting to
several hundreds. Thesenegroes went oil’ to the
iron works on the Cumberland river, where
| they obtained employment, along with several
thousand slaves, who lived at tlio same place.
Mixing with these slaves, they sowed the seeds
ot revolt among them, and concocted the plan
of iusuarcetion, which has just been brought
to light, and for which some score or so of the
ringleaders have already been hung.
The whole scheme, therefore, of murder,
pillage and rapine, which wighthavc drenched
the streets of Clarksville and a half dozen oth
er towns in blood, is traceable directly to cer
tain abolitionists of Illinois.”

The Jacksonville, Florida News of the (Jth

“ A gentleman of our city received, on yes

from which we have been permitted to make

Adamsville. Nov. 29, 1850.
* :: “ The Indians are within our im
mediate vicinity. They shot at two persons
here—or in eight miles of this place—aud at
another man in about twelve miles. A camp

the fire still burning on yesterday. The trail
was followed and the scouts say there were fif

they are lurking in this vicinity and may ulti
mately do damage.

Before adjourning, the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted by the electoral

Resolved, That the electoral college of North

President of the United States, tlieir grateful
acknowledgements for the signal devotion to
the constitutional rights of all the States of
the U nion exhibited by him during his entire
administration of the affairs of the general
government.
Resolved further, That the President will
carry with him, when he retires from his pres
ent position, the sincere wish of every patriotic
heart iu the Republic that the close of his life
may be as serene and blissful as liis career as
President has been triumphant and prosper
ous.
Among the “ election incidents” in this vi
cinity, says tho Lynn (Massachusetts) News,
was one of an attempt to collect a debt, which
showed ingenuity. A gentleman bad a de
mand against another which he was unable to
collect, Knowing him to be an ardent politi
cian, he got another person to induce him to
bet on the result of the election, offering such
a bet that it was quickly taken. The money
was placed in the hands of another citizen, and
the creditor sent an officer and secured the
money hy a trustee process.
