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 .” The Supreme Court of North Carolina lias confirmed flic decision of Judge Manly, that members of the Cuiversalist Church are incom petent to testify in courts of justice, according to the laws of that .State. 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 sity at Greensboro’, which must have been ex ceedingly gratifying not only to the Uenouai tion, but to every citizen of tlio State, and to 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 ject of the Tuskegee Female College, which represented it to be in a most flattering and flourishing condition. On Monday night an educational meeting was held for the benefit of the Female College at Tuskegee, at which SB,OOO was raised. On Tuesday afternoon the propriety of start ing a Methodist newspaper at Montgomery was debated; Mr. Hilliard in favor of it, and l)r. Summers opposed to it. The Republican says that up to the time of going to press Wed nesday evening, the conclusion of the Confer ence on tlio subject, had not transpired. P. S. Since the above was put up in type wc have received the True Union, containing a list of the appointments. The body adjourn ed on Wednesday night.

Spoke at some length in support of liis claim to the scat; and after some debate as to the proper disposition to be made of the sub ject, it was referred to the committee on the Judiciary. The Senate resumed the consider ation of the hill providing for claims of revo lutionary officers, nml adjourned at about four o’clock, without having succeeded indisposing of the same. 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. Novelty in Commerce. Two sloop* from Essex, New York, ou Lake Champlain, arrived in New Orleans Tuesday morning. They went via Lake Erie, the Bea ver Caual, and the Ohio and Mississippi livers. They wort towed down from Wheoling and are intended for the sugar trade on the coast of Attapaka*. 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. Good Shooting. The Franklin, La., Journal of the 27th ult., Bays a gentleman of that place, on arecenthunt in Qypre Morte, killed 87 snipes in five shots, 48 in two shots, and 28 in one shot, making 1(53 snipes in eight shots 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. Doing the thing Brown. It so happens that the Jailor of the county, is also the Marshal of our town. While en gaged in the discharge of his duties as Mar shal, arresting of a party of rioters, near the Jail, was resisted by several oi the party, un der circumstances, that endangered his personal i safety. Just as a heavy blow was about being inflicted on him, by one of the rioters, an uu seen baud felled his assailant to the ground on looking around. “Jesse” found that it was W. J. W. Brown, oue of his prisoners, who had made ld way out of the wall of the Jail, and cam valiantly to liis rescue, and then coolly wall -d back into Jail. Who says that “ Bill,” is n t cutitled to his discharge from prison.— Claj ■ n (Ab i) Banner. TELEGRAPHIC. Congressional. Washington, Dec. 18. — In the Senate to day a memorial was presented from the pro prietors of the Golhus steam ship line, pray ing to be . relieved from the present contract for carrying the mails. In the House, Gen. Quitman made a speech in favor of Gen. Walker and tlio Nicaraguan cause. Washington, Dec.

Recruits for Walker. Nt;w \ oi;k, Dec. 18—An expedition is being fitted out here for the purpose of sending five hundred Irish recruits for the relief of Gene ral Walker, hy the way of Onion. Honduras. 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 Latest Indian News. The Jacksonville, Florida News of the (Jth inst., says: “ A gentleman of our city received, on yes terday, a letter from Adamsville, Siuupter co., from which we have been permitted to make the following cctracts : 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 was discovered iu eighteen miles of Adamsville, the fire still burning on yesterday. The trail was followed and the scouts say there were fif teen in the company. I have no doubt but that they are lurking in this vicinity and may ulti mately do damage. President Pierce. Before adjourning, the following resolutions were unanimously adopted by the electoral college of North Carolina : Resolved, That the electoral college of North Carolina, on behalf of the Democratic voters in this State, tender to Gen. Franklin Fierce, 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. Tom Thumb Beat. The Madison (Fla.) Messenger makes the following correction: “ Mistakes will sometimes happen, no mat ter how particular wc may be. Last week, in the advertisement offering a reward for the apprehension of Green B. Dixon, in the de scription it read—“about <> inches high.” It should have been—about 5 feet (5 incheshigh.” — Lucky. A gentleman in New Orlearns recently pur chased a wild duck at the market, and upon taking iu home and opening it, be found in its erawjjti $2.50 and $1 gold piece, with a gold pen besides, yieldiug him a clear profit of $3, in addition to liis duck dinner. Persists in Lying. The London Times, which was so cruelly hoaxed by the pretended account of some half dozen duels on the Georgia Railroad, publishes the contradiction sent it by the President of the Road, and with inimitable rmii/ /Void re marks: “Wc insert Mr. King’s letter,as wo inserted Mr. Arrowsmith’s. Os the two, the latter is more creditable, as it is written quietly, gives particulars, and contains no oue statement ab solutely incredible. The laws against dueling in Georgia may be very severe, but it does not follow that they arc enforced; and the state ment that there has been no duel iu tho State for 20 years, is about as probable as that no traveller was ever injured on a Georgia railway CLEAR TIIK TRACK FOR SIA-NTA CLAUSE! 17011 yon s<m* I fin round ognlu, aud with clear nkicft alitl good mu Im, I oxjH’ct to arrive at STOVELL’S CORNER, tty tho 25th ol December, where 1 have promised to distribute the iiieuvt,queerest,curiouacst.bcautifulvxt wopitorfnlent, und smuNhiucst lot of CHRISTMAS PRESENTS that ever made the mouth of a Juvenile “water.” I hope to meet all uiy young frieudH there, for I amcoufi dent Hint the handsome,<t favors will be found at that Comer.
