WiKfßoi’smrx in this city and Hamborg will oblige us by having their stock cf Cotton on band carefully counted at au early hour this morning. The Kiver, yesterday afternoon, was at twenty five feet six inches, and rising slowly, bavirrg risen twenty-feet six inches in twenty four hours—indi caiug heavy rains in the interior. i e steamer Starke arrived at the wharf about 5 o'clock Augusta uu<t Macon Railroad. On the 14th icet., the Ci’y Council of Augusta passed the satj dried preamble and resolutions, which we re-publish for the purpose of calling the attention of those interested to the subject: W hereas, the (x sneion of railroads, now in progress and recently chartered, may prove detri mental to the business interests ol the city unless pome action is taken to counteract the supposed effects; therefore bo it Resolved, That ilia City Council of Augusta will co operate with any corporations or individuals in building a read connecting Macon with some con venient point on the Georgia Railroad, or to build a road from that city to Macon. Reso.ved, I bat a Committee cf Conference, consisting of one raembsr from each Ward, and the Mas» r, be appointed for that purpose. The following Committee were appointed as called for in tae above resclu ion :—Messrs. Miller, May, Sledge and Foster. The advantages of this road have been so thor oughly dis -ussed years ago, in cur columns, that we need not repeat the irgumet 1 1 of its advocates. Our ot j set i* simply to call the attention of the pe >p’e along the lias, who are to deeply interested, to tne subject, and to admonish them that now is the time to go to work in earnest to build the road. Our people are now thoroughly aroused to the import ance f the road, and if the planters along the line exhibit a corresponding spirit, the road wni be built at an early day. Senator Seward —ahe Irish, Germans and Nuirces—The editor of the Savannah Republi can, who is now ia Washington, ia a letter to Lis paper, eays: “During tbs dt-OBseion in the House this morn 'Ug, a itfle incident was brought out that is not i.kny to aod to Senator Seweru’e popularity with «nr ad pted citizens.

He says he had little personal acquain tance with Brown. Whenever the subject of stair pedir.g slaves was broached, he always dis couraged and discountenanced it, and he had not aided Brown with money or advice. A Democratic Bai.l is Italy.— The Florence co*rtsj oi dent of the Newark Advertiser gives an aoo juct of the grand tail given on Monday, Nov. 21, in the old historic palace of the Poggoi Impe rials, (now Poggio Nationals.) At the ball, of course, eome t liort was made to carry out the democratic system which has obtained in the gov ernment of the couniry. The introduction of the the change in social affairs is tLus described : “The music how enlivening, the dance how ani mated ! But w bat a novel scene for Florence and in a palace ! Here the titled ladies of the ministers and me legations are dauc'ng on the eaune floor whli tte wivee end daughters of lawyers mid mer chan's. Not iu ti e snrrse set though.

Still the pretty /.. >, rgei prefers the freer freedom of her own set; lik’: w ill tt-ek 1 ke. Long habit of awe at superiors uannoi. be shaken eff in tbe dance. “One l our after midnight,Baron Rica3oli, chief of the Provisional government arrives with hie rt’l'o itis appearance io the figcal for the singing ■i patriotic hymn to the adopted Cross of Savoy, by a choir ot some hundred voices in the great hall below. The hymn and music were composed for the tcca=ioi!, but the poetry is hardly worth trans latiuiu, tin ugh appropriate and effective—as wpi feU.O the'music —for the occa«’on. On making the tour of the apartments— cv&r fifty rooms were ' ghted up—one heard English spoken everywhere ; in f-.ct, it seenrsd as if Ball" ihe vest assembly was composed of English and Americans. Among the latter were decidedly the belles of the ball, some nswiy arrived young American beauties, who seem greatly to enjoy the admiration they excited. Cer tainly most ol the beauty there was of the Anglo- Saxon type. “The Italians dance bet'er than any nation; even the French admit this. The real ‘poetry of motion’ is in every curve they make. But the most grace ft’! on this occasion were the young American resi dents, who have learned to dance here, and add to the refinement of the Florentine step the finer proportions of more delicate feet than the fair nat.ves cau boast. It is not surprising, in view of the number ol Ameriuan beauties here this season, that Italians should think our countrywomen the handsomest in the world. When an Italian ie handsome—a rare picture in these days—she is surprisingly beautiful, though always of the nation al type. Oniy at Venice does one find the Titian beauty oi golden Lair and hazel eyes. No wonder that these poetic attributes are so much admired in Italy.” Private letters (Km our countrymen now in So nora represent the leeling against Americans as more biiitr than ever, and the writers beseech their trieuda to be cautious what they write tu reply, lest it would involve them in trouble. [communicated.] Auction Sales and Auction Goods, The Southern people seem to be doomed to be preyed upon by every possible device which can be invented by the cupidity of the lower orders of “manufacture/ s' 1 c f the North. Ceriaiuiy ru> re spectable concern of the North would stoop to such a nefarious system of swindling. But it ought to be known by the South, that New Yotb abounds in Mock Auction swindling shops; anti the Mayors of that city have posted continually before their doors large placards, ineeribed : “ Beware ot Mock Auctions and Swindlers.” And whenever they can catch these adroit rogues in a fraud glaring enough to be complained of, the scamps are made to dis gorge the money. New York is so well posted about such shops that these fellows find it promo tive of their interests to try the South ; which they are note doing all over this part of the country with astonishing success. Now it ought to be known how these goods are made, and what they are. I hate visited these “Jewelry Manufactories” and can testify, that there are numbers who moke such stuff expressly for Auction Sales at the South. I speak from knowledge, when I say that a five dollar gold piece will make a barrel full of fine (!) breast pins, ear-rings, lockets and full sets generally. So too with their silver ware. Most of it is made of zinc, and coated with the thinnest, possible layer of silver. The whole thing is an intentional swindle from beginning to end. Pindar’s razors were made to sell and not to shave—this auction-made trash is made to both sell and shave ; and made purposely to do both, llow wonderfully verdant must a peo pie be, who continue long to be thus made the dupes ot such men. See, too, the injustice perpetrated upon the regu lar merchants of our cities. Ourcapital is invested in our business, through all seasons we stay and support the City, State and County governments . but it certainly never was expected that we should do so and have all the swindling shops of the North as our opponen’s, who only manufacture such trash to sell at the South during the business season, end take away from us the only oppo;tunity we have of making a living, after having paid taxes during the whole summer, when business was a positive expense. I say that the gross injustice of this thing is pateut to every nitul. llow long ia it to be eaaurcd ? A petition to the City Council is uow in circula tion in Augusta, praying that sems actio u be taken in this matter protecting the mass of the merchants of this city ; and while wo disclaim any auimoeity to a legitimate auction business, we are opposed to its present conduct on the grounds afore mentioned— upon the principle that though all have the right to kindle a fire, no man has the right to kiudie one under hi? neighbor’s house. L.ast of all, to burn out all Lis neighbors. Justice. (Ci MMCMCAT* D ) Meeting of ihc Faculty nod Stuilenta of the .Hnlicd College of (aeorgiu. A meeting was convened on Monday, Dec 26tb, of the Faculty and Students of tbe Medical College of Georgia, at the lecture room of the college, v/Lea, on motion of Fros. L. A. Di -as, Frol' I. F. Garvin wrs ca led to the chair, end W. S. Cannon request ed to act es Secretary. The Chairman, Fros. Garvin, biitfly stated the object of the meeting to be for the purpose of • - c riving and cordially welcoming to this cotie t a number of medical students from Fbilade’pi, a, who, in company with about three hundred others, had left tbe North, and were determined to pursue their studies at medical coi'egea in the South. Dr. I). A Mathews, one of tbe gentlemen from Fhilafe'phia, tfctn ar use, and addressed the Facul ty and Students, iu subs anee as follows : Gentleman of Iks Faculty of the Medical College of Georgia: A.ow me the pleasure of introducug to you this company of southern medical students ; they are a band ot brothers— they are your broth ers—they are my brothers. Having done me the honor of introducing them here, I now ask to present them to you. It is true, I did not have the pleasure of marshal ing them iuto ranks in the city of Phila delphia. I rose from a bed of sickness to come, and found them already in raubs, earnestly desirous of coming, and waiting for some one who knowing you, gentleman, persona ly, could f eel authorised to iDvire them to ?Le time-honored and hospitable halls of the Medical College of Georgia. We have acted auder a seme of duty to the Soufc ; no motive prompted cThere Lave appeared iu the northern newspapers many reports concern frig this movement; most of these are erroneous. Much has also been said about the arrest ot medical stu dents and tln-ir treatment in Philadelphia. Our motives for leaving were clearly expressed in the resolutions passed at our meeting we refer you, gentlemen, aud the southern public, t> them as the hue exponents our feelings and our motives. It is true, the Philadelphia papers have said much about the action of the Mayor and police men towards southern students, and in relation to various other things wiiich happened ; but we bring no complaint—we made none when we left—we make none now—and we assert that those who have remained have no le.-s cau=<e of complaint in these respect*, than we who have re turned. We have been treated fully as well es they. If Philadelphia sees fit to arraign herself, she Las full liberty. Let her bring forward her newspaper editors, her stump orators, and her thousands of p'd tatora. Let her make her own court—both judge and jury; and self-arraigned, let her sentence. She hes already done it; and her self pronounced verdict is, “guilty, most guilty! * Why, then, need we make any accusation 7 Let me tell you, our motives; they were these : We believe it to be our duty to our homes, to do all we could for the institutions of the South, and for her prosperity, generally and eepe ciaiiy, as physicians, to build up and encourage her medical institutions. To do this, a Northern school was not the place for us a moment longer, end a momen* longer we would not remain. I hope you wi'i allow me here to refer to a few remaiks made lest Tuesday, at the Assembly build ings in Philadelphia, ps they eiearly set foi h tbe views I now wish to present Ithsneaid. Ido not rise for the purpose of exciting the least enthusiasm in this meeting I e ish to speak calmly on the subject before us. We are cow enteiicg upon an enterprise of the most momentous importance. A totteriDg nation will gaze on our action this day.— I say a tottering nation, because it is a people druuk with excitement who are to witness our movement on this occasion. Some have pr< pleei d that, >n the conterrpVion of such a dechled atd significnit deny nstratii n, cui country wi 1 p-rt asunder; but I look fer no such calamity, a* the result of tti i enterpiise On ths contrary, I believe it will have am st mlutary effect on our country. And here, gentlem-n, let me repeat it ti day, I believe more than evir, that our move has muc hto do with the destiny—the fu ture o ntinuauce of tth Union. I kn >w that ac ti ni speak louder thsn woidc; an i when we assert our tights by actions, men wi‘l r spect them. I believe it ie better far to act than to make spe chea, pass resolution*, cr to bui'd pla'f ran. Ipa d then,’ while we make no complaint against the city of Pi i adeiphie, or the respective Facu ! ies we repre sent in this ime’ing, we bw declare our entire confidence in the abundant cafadty cf southern medical schco's to icstrrct us in the scienca cf med isine. We can see no remon whatever why sou h e:n medical etudmtr Bhould rngleot their home in stitutions and come Noith. The institutions ( f tLe South are well prepared to impart us i oat ruction. Tbey are noble spirit d, lofty, and dignified, and only need the patronage of her twn ans to m«ke them appear dignified in the eyes of the world. The South has the mat r a*, tin brain, Ihe energy; and, 1 repeat it, a'l she asks is the patronage of .her own people. It Wes a-ked of us in Philsdelpbis, “Why can you not wcit urt 1 t'ue present session is over, end then act ?'* We replied, “ Became now is the time ts it ik°, while southern mtn are ready. If vve wait until you have g veil all these men oiolornp’, they will haid'y do n.uch f>r southern ineti u'iors when they le urn home; for it is well known that phjsieieni are apt to recommend the .ns’itutions in which they graduate to their tfli:e pup s and friends generally. Eviry in in ii apt t» hold up' f r bis alma mater. We do n t wirh to be boi nd to the North by pny such influence.” *,lt was comp'lained to me that we were acto reshly, and that we were about to sfHict the ?• cent, viz : the poor boarding-house women of I r adelphia, and the medical fraternity. I say, in c ewer to this complaint, and I hope I atn rot irreve rent,‘‘Philadelphia, ‘the poor you always have with you,’ f*rke care of them; but such a proposition of southern medical studen’3 you have not always with you, and, if we can prevent it, you shall never have them with you again.” We, too, have poor women in our southern cities that deserve our con sideration and patronage. Let each of us, ia our respective regions, take care of oar own poor. As to the medical Faculties, we make no complaint against them; no animosity but us in our bosoms toward them; I would not wrongly withhold one dime from their pockets; but wo cave southern men fully a3 able and deserving, and we think it. no more than right that our money should go to them for instruction. I would not treat with irre verence one hair of your Faculties’ heads , but there are southern men whose hairs deserve our reverenee more. I would not lift one laurel from the brows of these men; but there are brows at the South just as deserving, and we must crown them. Now, gentlemen, I am done. I would have remain ed silent had I not thought that the South demands your action aud mine, and that of every man in it, to sustain her, 1 say let every roan examine the subject for himself, and act accordingly. VVe have already acted. We drat examined our eonacien •*??, aud consulted our judgments, aud acted in accor dance with their dictates. I believe tha* no man among us has done otherwise. As to the uitimate effect o! this move upon our country, we have fully estimated, aud, we think, rightly appreciated it. i am glad to toy that men have coincided with us in this opinion wh.ee judg ment is respected by the whole country. I allude to many dot nguisbed gentlemen u«*’ in (..‘uiigm-s. Though we dia not o:n>ult them tu this matter, they say there can be no doubt that the t tic* t will be salutary, by causing Northern men to respect our right 1 ?, aud that it wi.l thus mere firmly ce ment the Union. Gorl grant that if anything of nationd importance should result from cur action, above all things, may it be this! As I have just said, we examined our conscience ou this subject, and on its dictates acted. We did not consult our parents, our guardians, or our friends. Tfcsy were too distant Irom ua. On ibis account, many of us, at tilst hesitated, and hare since had occa sional emotions of doubt; but when stern duty speaks to the hearts of Southern mm, and appeals to their judgment tor their country’s sake, they will ever act promptly, though Northern friends may attempt to soothe ami Northern enemies threaten. Aye, sustained by the conscious ness of righ', even though tone Southern friends, perchance our very fathers, may ha doubtful of our course. On this confidence'we are with ycu to-day; we are not all; otheisyetaie coming; many more would have left with us, but they are detained lor ressons mo t creditable to them as Southern men ; it is the middle of the session, their tiuances are low, they owe small sums to various persons in the city and they await checks ; these are worthy motives for their delay; we can only regret their absence, and hope for their speedy coming. Many told me they would gladly come, but could not pay their way at this time; they applied to me tor money, but I was not preparea to assist them ; I had refunded aud re’.i :quished the pro ceeds of nav piivate class in order to come—l was determined that no man should have cause to im peach my character after my departure from Phila delphia. But, gentlemen, these are but private persona incidents, which I only relate as the sincere evil denoes of our strong determination to be among you. Let me now, in conclusion, again piesent to your cordial reception those friend* who Lave ac companied me. Let me a-k tor them now that kindnee? ana hrspitaiity which, in time past, has bound me to you and to ycur beautiful city. That warm reception, that open-hearted kindness, the reliance in which Las cheered us all along our tedi ous journey home, and which we new find verified by this full attendance—thtso kind, approving faces, these manitesiations of sympathy, tne echoes from these very walls—all crying: • welcome to you, our brothers—w.lcome home ! ’ Professor L D. Ford replied as fellows : Mr. Chairman : How unexpected tb:.-assemblage of the cllioera and students of ihe College. We had suppo. i tbit the stiffness of this hall would have been v. orokeu during the festivities of Christmas. llov. far different are these circumstances from those under which we are accustomed here to as eemble. We are here, ti day, faculty and students, to give our w- Rome to a body of southern medi cal student j, abandoning a med c .1 c liege at the North, iu the midst of ns course ot lectures, to come home, aud in southern coheges to finish that course. Tueac are a part of that turee li ndred e> utbeni students who left the ciiy ut Philadelphia a. tiie same moment. These, leaving many of their fellows in the cily of Richmond, who are soon to follow them—these have come on directly to us. The circumotancts of their coming arc tied worthy of note ; they bit before receiving tho-*e spontane ous, patriotio, brotherly resolutions of sympathy and ot iuvitation, parsed by the et,idents of this college, a*3uring them o: a we come reception from its tacuity; aud yet, they have come, nothing doubting as to their reeep'ion at our hands. Au! sir, they judged us by the warm, untiiiug instincts of the true southern heart—'bey thus judged, that their reception could be none other than warm, free, and generous. In thus judging they Lave hen.'red both themtelves and us—and you well know sir, they judged us righ'ly. Aud now, gentlemen, in befcaif of my associates of the Faculty, a noble set of men with whom any man would feel it au honor to te associated, I bid you a hearty welcome to ycur Southern heme, and to the Medical College of Georgia. Talk not to us coldly of term? rs jet this much is nece sary : We will exchange the tickets which -you have received from jour Professors in Poilaueiphia, for onr own ; the possession of these will entitle you to ail the rights and privileges of our College, a.« it y. u Lad here paid your dollars and cent *; ana by thb ar rangement, we place ourselves in the honorable position towards our Northern brother ProfetS 'i. , of doing vicarious y, their du'i s to you, which circumstances have prevented them from tu tilling The occasion fraternally prompt the qi>-ti< ii, Why did you c ine ! In thanking him wh « yon have made your organ of cnmruunicath u, fi>r ii,<* high compliment paid to Southern Medical Col leges, I <su by my baud on my heart and L neatly declare my opinion, that the teaching in the Meai cal College of G-orgia i«, iu all r spec's, equ*. in value to that of any other college in tue Country, av.d in some respects superior to ihat of many Tot, it is not to be supposed tfia’ tics sentim-mt moved you to this course. Nor aid we ever sup pose that you were determined to this action t y any dissatisfaction with the irea'in ml or with the political opinions of any of your Northern Profes sors. VVe know better; we know them to be gen tlemen , we dare freely endorse them men in capable of holding aud expressing objectionable opinions upon those political questions in which you, in common with the whole Southern country, feel so vital an interest. It cannot be cancealeJJt ought not, that your ae’ion has been taken alone for pohtiea! reasons. We recognize this act as a part ot that swelling] Bulging iudignali n, which hr s gone forth from ;he universal Southern country as irotn the bosoar of one man —felt by every Southern man upon North ern soil, and even there demand ng manly u'tf rrt.ee —indignation at ’he invasion of the holy rights of our bearth-Btones and of onr very lives, by those calling themselves our fellow citizens and brethren. We hesitate nit in our judgment upon your aot. Yon did nobly well. la these dark Hires, when men’s minds are agitated with fearful political possibilities, yoc did mot honerabiy, Hke true (Southern men. in iis’autly coming back to that portion of your common oouatiy, to which, under th«ss circumstance - *, you owed y* ur first allegiance to that coun’ty witch gave you birth, which nur tured you in its bosom, whose glowing sun has burned int o you a genial, generous constitution— you did well, thus to return to your In m-p, either amid quiet scenes to s udy, nr, if needs be, to fight. ’ You did slid better by this act, in doing the best for the best interest of j’our common country— that country, which, iu the unbroken integrity, stands forth the light of the world—the biightest hope of the enthralled nations of the earth—the last hope of humanity for the realization of rational, permanent, civil government. * Thie dteliive action of the ueble three bundled will have done more for the perpe:nation of the Union than folios of resolves from the Legislatures of every Southern State; it speaks to those great conservative mnses of onr Northern-bretnren, demanding them to rise, in their strength, and put down among themselves that handful of wild ia natics, who are ready to desolate our homes with fire aud sword. Dr. A. S. Johnson, of Florida, in behalf of the medical class, aaid : Southern Students from Ike Medical Colleges of Philadelphia— Gentlemen :—Upon your recent ar rival here among us, al ow me on (his occasion, in behalf of the present elr is of the Medical College of Georgia, to congratulats you tor that tiue nor thorn sp rit which so grandly chara' teihed your decorous departure fi urn the uncongenial c inr.e of a southern professional brotherhood; end arto for that wisdom you have manifested in so commendable a manner, in giving choice to a southern solool to complete your < -urse of medical instruction. In mpliance with a long continued, aud not unusu custom of southern man, tiom the purest motives of interest, to wit: for the sake of proses sione’ acquirementr, being induced by the reported superior facilities of northern schools, you innocent ly gave patronage to those you considered brothers of one common countiy. You have beeu de ceived, i jrrowfully, ; idiy deceived. Instead of that common politeness due strangers from any clime, end especially that kindness due brothers of a distant common country you have leeeived nothing ea from the vet / uiomt nl of your arrival there, per! aps, but the cutting insults of Abolition prejudice. They have insulted you iu their halls, iu their pulpits, and in their street, es if you were at ail responsible for the peculiarities of southern insti tutions. Tou have acted honorably, gt ntltmanly, brotherly; instead of aggravating'those evil ten’ dsneiea which threaten our Union aud our peace forever, by the Lke niggardly and deitardly retorts upon them for their groß3 iueulis, you have bidden them a quiet arteu, and sought refuge and a native asylum in southern schools. Convinced ti at you have acted moat nobly, in deed, and that the move will redound to the good of the wholeJdouth, we threw open oar doors, our windows, and our domes, aud welcome you to our halls, our homes, and our hearts. Rest assured, gentlemen, that you occupy, by this very act of your recent movements in the North, a still higher place than ever, in our affections. R*st you, toe, gentlemen, that we do not offer you the mere for mal greeting of practical lips; but cheerfully, unit edly, one and all, we offer you nothing short of a spontaneous ou'gush of southern sympathies, gen erated in the purest recesses of southern hearts We extend to you the hand of fellowship, and warmly welcome you into our ranks. The Medical College of Georgia is big enough, ample enough, aud southern enough, to afford you protection, sympathy, and affection, while you sojourn among us. Once mere: As they Lave evinced noth'ng but impure and sinister motive 3 at the Nirth, trorn the very manner end moment of their cowardly and uodermiu ng aggreieions, we fear not to say, gen tlemen, that we etand on the side of peace, re ign n, and true repub! : ca ism ; aud tat cn such a piat f . rtn we can and will be led victoriously over any such sneaking incendiaries. W bile we are in favor of union in legis'ation, we are a so in favor of union in social and ' commercial nc'lon, u don < f hand, f cad, *al Lei t for with u" tiers id u >snVn n peace or sart y.

Cannon, Secretary Department Reports. We are compelled to confine ourselves to the following brief synopsis of the annual statements of the Post-Master General, and Secretaries of War, Navy, and the Interior: Wak Department— The Secretary of War re pert that w hile iho authorized strength of the Army is 18 1 fid, the num! er iu July last was only 17,498; and 11.000 of that number were alone available lor service in the field. Small as it is, the force has been required to man about 130 permanent gairi -eons, posts and camps, scattered over an area of three millions of square miles, and consequently it has beeu impossible to give ample security to citi zens on our frontiers. In relation to the Indian depredations on our Southern and Mexican border, the Secretary hopes to make such alteration iu the disposition of the troops next season ai wid prevent any repetition.

He recommends that provision be made for retiring disabled and infirm officers The necessity for enlisting teamsters is urged, a3 L toe enlistment of frontier citizens for frontier ser vice, for six months’ terms, the men to provide their own horses. He speak* favorably of the coudi ion of the military academies, of the experiments in breech loading guns, and of the use of camels for service in the interior. The whole cost of the Army is put down at $13,098,725 72, which he thinks mey be considerably reduced. The condition of affairs in Utah is such that there is scarcely any necessity for troops tuere, aud they will probably soon be withdrawn. Tne report concludes with a brief account of John Brown's attack ou Harper’s Ferry Navy Department.—The Report ofthe Secre tary of the Navy enters largely into the achieve ments of the Paiaguay SquadroD, and into the new and extended arrangements for suppressing the African Slave trade. Reference is made to the fact that a score of new steam vessels had been added to the navy since the accession of the pre sent Administration ; au augmentation which has called for a corresponding erlirgemeutof the perso nal force—officers, pursers, and crews. Events at San Juan and at the mouth of the Pei-bo are touched upon; and the explorations ct Lieut. Brooke among the Pacific Blands are spoken of with approval. A contract executed with the Chiriqui Improvement Company by the Depart ment, is represented to be of great value.

The decrease in the ieegth of routes from 1858, was 561 miles; the routes by rail, steamboat and coach having been largely increased, and t! ore by minor facilities cur ailed to tho extent of 16 637 miles. The number of Post offices is 28 539, an aggregate incres oof 562 for the year. The Postmaster Gen oa! is pregnant with projec*3 of reform. One ot hi? plane contemplated the discouragement of the system of newspaper exchanges, by withdrawing the immunity from postage heretofore enjoyed by the Press ; another the award of bids for transpor tation to parties contracting to furnish the utmost celerity, independently of the mode of carriage; another Ihe final abandonment of the Tehuan'epeo Isthmus es a mail route. Iu regard totheßerv.ee between Port and aud New Orleans, further legisla tion is pronounced requisite. And that clause of the Act of June, 1838, which directs a preference to be given in the transportition of the European noai's to au American steamer even at the expense of three days’delay, is recommended for repeal. The document is extremely long, and heavily freighted with fac-'s, figures and suggestions. The Ship Cherubim off Cape Horn—Suffer ing ni Sen. It has been stated that the ship Cherubim, Capt. Skiaucr, arrived at San Francisco on the 19th inst. The Bulletin, of that city, gives an aoeount of her perilous voyage, which will be interesting, particu larly as her owners and captain are citizens of Richmond : The Cherubim left New Y"ork on the 9th of May; it wes 193 day? afterwards that she entered our harbor. But when she did arrive, she came in per fect older and capital condition. She seems to have suffered all the nautical troubles that could possibly be crowded inside 193 days. She war IG days drifting through calms and beating against light headwinds, before she reached the equator on the oth<-r side. Off Capa Horn the wind war a gale, and directly in tin teeth of the gcod ship, whmh plunged and rolled and staggered uuder it for fifiy-six dava. On the 19th of August she sighted the island ot Oiogo Ramirez to the west, some twenty miles. Just 19 dajs afterwards, after a prodigious deal of hard sailing, they sighted the same island, bearing in nearly the same direc'ion about fifteen miles off. The wretchr-i Horn on e rounded, matters were more moderate till they reached Valpareiso, into which place the ship put fur water and medical at ten dates -ffir the cruelty of the story is yet to be On the morning of the 25th of August, while things were at tin wortt off the Cape, and there were sou e two test of water rolling across the main deck, it we i found that the top of the pipe leading down to the water lank, in which the whole water supply h kept, was gone. The salt water, of course, poured down into tue tanks, and the 40,000 gallons upon which they had confidently relied was eveiy drop of it ruined. It wrr impossible that this cou dbe the reru't of an accident. The pipe wei plugged up tightly at oace, and a Diece of canvei naded over it. Next morning plug and e&nvp.ia were both gone. Who perpetrated the \ illainy it wet never discovered, but his object was readi:y surmised, home poor fe.iow, in his despair hopea by spoiling the water, to compel the ship to put back Providentially, a siogla cask on deck, rs orovision against accident, had been filled just beioie the mishap. AU hands, officers, men and pas sengers,among whom were Capt. Skinner’s wife and children, were put upon allowance of a pint a day, from that time till the at rival at Valparaiso, thirty’ five days afterwards. Os provisions there was an abundance, the ship having taken a year’s supply at New York The exposure brought on scurvy, with which one after another, many were terribly afflicted. One diet and was buried at 3ea. S’our others were left in the hospital at Valparaiso, but were doing well when last sec u. Fresh supplies of water at that place, and a tarry long enough to give all parties fresh meat aud vegetables enough, restored health on shipboard. The ship had a pretty good time up from Valparaiso, airiving at San Francisco in forty three days. Among the Scotch, in the Highlands, the follow ing p: ediction in relation to the wind on New Year's Eve is currently believed : “If New Year's Eve night wind blew South, It betokeneth warmth and growth ; If West, much railk, and tish ia the sea ; It North, mu"h co d aud storms there will he ; If East, the trees will bear much fruit ; If Northeast, flee it, mau and brute.” HY TKLK(jUAJ > Jl. The le tuuusepec Ifo’»le. Wa%hingtos, Deo. 30,180 D. The negotiation of the treaty with the L ; bera! Government of Mexico has rev-vecl the bept-s and enterprises of various parties who have heretofore initiated meeaurea f< r the construction of Railroads across the Mexican territory, in order to effect a more speedy and reliable communication with the Pacific coast. The Tehuantepec route was a favorite with the Polk and the succeeding adaiinistratioca; for, while it would secure the important objects contempla ted, it was regarded as a basis of eceoinmodatioa to the interests of all sections of our country. The President, in his instructions to Mr. McLane, war particular in providing for the pr< tectum of the rights and immunities of all the citizens of the United States, without regard to any individual schemes or enterprises whatever, in connection with the transit privileges thus far secured. But, at the same time, the Juarez Government, wishing to be faithful to its obligation, will doubti* S 3 respec t its existing contract with the Louisiana Company, the operations of which on the Isthmus were, it is known, suspended several months ago, owing to pecuniary embarrassments. Both Governments guarantee the neutrality of the transit route*, and will protect the r, if neces sary, by military force; but th's protectun c .naot be claimed©r expected, un'ess tte milrcat compa ny transport troop*, munitions of wa s , and mi i;ary 8-ippliea of either government at fcafths r*’ea charged to other pardes tr private mJividuals. This appears to be the Condition of the protection, as stipulated m ilia treaty. There cannot be a doubt flat cur Government will take, if it fcas not already taken, measures to encoura-e the re ocening of the Tehuantepec rjute, andthitMr. McLane, before he 1 eit the United States for Metico, understood fully the views of the administ a’ion on this subject. Gentlemen interes.ed in the Tehuantepec route, confidently say that it will be reopened under more favorable auspices than heretofore. The Company fer that purpose is to be re-organized, and a mere efficient management secured. It is estimated that $8,000,000 will be sufficient to con struct the road, although it has been proposed to make the capital $20,000,000 Mr. Labere, connected with the Louieiana Com pany, stands in high favor with the Liberal Gove.n* memos Mexico, lie we* a true and firm friend in other days, to both Juarez and Ocampo; and, more recently, when the Reactionists threatened Vera Cruz, he placed a steamer, belonging to his company at the disposal of the Liberal Govern ment—which it used with advantage in the neigh i jiLoodof Vera Ciuz. This gent eoiau, in con junction with Mr. Benjamin, will, it is said, in quarters usually well informed on subjects, visit Vera Cruz on business connected with this Raii road, and in order to effect such modifications of their contract, as will the better farther their enter prise; and in this errand it is as reliably asserted, they will have the co operation of Mr. McLaue. These movements are in part, however, based on the supposition that the treaty will be duly ratified.

Report or Northern Spies from the South.— The New York correspondent of the Mobile Regis ter, says; The Republican leaders here sent confidential agents in September to every Southern State, to examine into and repcr: the extent of arms and ammunition in the South that could be used in March, 1861, should Seward's taking his seat be opposed. A copy of the report was sent by a friend in theoffice of the Independent. I will mere iy mention what it contains in reference to Alaba ma, South Carolina and Georgia. The spies report that the arms and ammunition in Alabama is of no possible aocount. Os South Carolina he speaks in the moat contemptuous terms, and contrasts the arms and supplies of the Federal Government and fortress with those of the State at Columbia and at Charleston. He says there are not even rusty muskets sufficient in the State to arm 100 men, and if there were, that the muskets would explode and kill the holders. In Georgia, the spy ss3 , s, there is a scsroity of arms, and of powdor and shot for the ordinary hunting done iu the State. All the States are reported, and if the report is true, were I in your Legislature, not a day should pass before a remedy was had. I would create a permanent supply, by legalizing manufactures of arms and of powder. Why not ? The Foreign Grian Trade.— The New York Journal of Commerce notices the following fact connected with the foreign grain trade : It is elated, on good authority, that broadstaffs are lower at Liverpool than at any of the ieadirg Baltic ports. This would apDear to Bhow conclu sively that the continent has atready made an over exportation, and that the future supplies for British markets must coma chiefly from this side. The excellent quality of Americau wheat the current year will tavor Buch a demand, and we certain'y look for a still further increase in the export trade hence, before the next harvest. Including the supplies at near lake poits, there are about four million bushels of wheat available for shipment, so that a brisk foreign demand need not fail of being met, or lead to any extraordinary advance in price.
