SATURDAY, OCTOBER 30.
Advertising the Laws.
The Savannah Republican says:
“In view of the delay always incident to the
publication of the Acts of the Legislature, the pa
pers are discussing the propriety of a law requir
ing that they shall be made known through the
public press. A cotemporary in Rome suggests
that they be published in all the papers of the
State, immediately upon their enactment, thereby
giving them the most complete circulation possible
among the people. Another suggests that the ex
pense attending such a system would be too great
a burthen upon the treasury for the good that
would result from the system, and a publication in
the two principal papers of each Congressional
District would attain about as near to the end de
sired as would be found practicable with a proper
regard to economy.
This last view we arc inclined to favor, and
we hope the Legislature will take up the matter at
its approaching session, and give it such attention
as the public necessities shall be found to require.”
The Laws and Journals of the Legislature were
published at this office and dispatched to the Gov
ernor months since. We know that the delay in
the distribution in the present instance is owing to
causes which Gov. Brown can easily explain.
Among other reasons, the Legislature authorized
the distribution of Hines’ Legal Forms in every
county throughout the State. They were not
ready—being still in the hands of the pi inter
when the Journals were sent to Millcdge\ ille from
this office. Gov. Brown delayed the distribution
with a view of sending one Agent with both the
Laws and the Forms. It was merely a matter of
economy with the Governor, not dreaming, we
suppose, of so long a delay. So much for the tar
diness of the distribution the present year. As to
the recommendation of our cotemporaries, we have
merely to say, that the best and only argument in
favor of printing the Journals in the newspapers,
is, to help a working, energetic, industrious craft,
who, though deserving, are the last to reap the
fruit of their labors.
If the printing is to be a bonne to the newspa
pers, as a reward of public merit, we think it wor
thy the consideration of the Legislature, other
wise we are opposed to the suggestion. It will
find no favor with so economical an administra
tion as that of Gov. Brown.
Session at Mlllcdgcvile.
Our eotemporaries of Augusta, the Constitution
alist and Dispatch have made arrangements for
reporters during the session at Millegdeville, so as
to give their readers the latest news and procced
ings of the Legislature. They expect an increase
of their subscription list, as the price of the paper
during the session is only sl. In regard to the
Time s, we have to say, that we will not be laggard
in furnishing our readers with the latest intelli
gence from the Capital during the sitting of the
General Assembly. One of the Editors of this Jour
nal will be present during the session and will find
time from bis Legislative duties to communicate
frequently with his rentiers upon subjects, which
he may deem of public interest. The Federal
Union of Milledgeville will have a daily and the
Recorder a tri-weekly during the session.
Steamer Harriet Hunk.
The U. S. Steamer Harriet which was engaged
carrying the mail between this place and Apalach
icola, was run against a log, at Live Oak Bend, in
the Apalachicola river on Wednesday the 20th inst.
causing her to sink almost immediately. Nearly
two hundred bales of cotton were on board, the
most of which she received at Munnerlyn’s land
ing.
The cotton we learn has been greatly damaged,
and that the loss to Col. C. J. Munnerlyn will not
be less than §I6OO. — Bainbridge Argus.
Location of the Main Trunk.
The corps of Engineers of the A fc G. Railroad
are now engaged in running, as near as possible,
an air line between this place and Thomasville. —
After this is completed, and an estimate of the
cost of the two lines made, they will proceed im
mediately to locate the road to this place. It is
presumed they will accomplish their work in about
two weeks, or less, when the whole road, from the
initial point to Bainbridge, will be located.—Bain
bridge Argus.
Interesting Case in Henry Cos., Ala.
Francis J. Cobia, a gentleman who was tried up
on the charge of whipping a slave to death many
years since, was convicted of‘“man slaughter in
the first degree” at the last Superior Court of Hen
ry Cos., Ala. When he was arrested in 1845 in
Montgomery, he was thrown into prison, where
he remained three years. His first trial came off
in 1549, when he was found guilty of Murder in
the second degree. His case was carried to the
Superior Court by his counsel and reversed. At
his late trial the finest legal talent was arraigned
against him in the persons of Attorney-General
Baldwin and Alpheus Baker, Jr. He was defend
ed by Messrs Jefferson Buford and James L. Pugh.
He was convicted as above stated and sentenced
to three years imprisonment in the penitentiary.—
The Jury having recommended the prisoner to the
clemency of the Court, and having signed a peti
tion for his pardon in view of his previous impris
onment, we understand, he has been released by
Gov. Moore of Alabama.
The case was one of great interest.
Atlanta Intelligencer, of yesterday, j
says:
“We regret to learn that Colonel Haralson, the
Collector of Customs at Brownsville, Texas, died
a few days ago there, of yellow fever. He was a
brother of the late Hon. Hugh A. Haralson, of
Troup.
Mails for German*. —lt is officially stated
that mails for Germany will be regularly made up
and despatched from New York by the several lines
of United States, Bremen and Hamburg mail
steamers, as follows, viz :
To Bremen on 80th October: Hamburg on Ist
November; Bremen on 6th November; Hamburg
on 15th Nov.: Bremen on the 20th and 27th of
Nov.: Hamburg on Ist Dec.; Bremen on 4th Dec.;
Hamburg on 15th Dec.; Bremen on 18th and 25th
Dec.
The rates of postage to Germany upon letters
transmitted by either of the above lines of mail
steamers are precisely the same, being the regular
established rates “by Bremen or Hamburg mail,”
as published in the table of postages to foreign
countries. Postmasters in the interior should for
ward at once to New York all letters, Ac., for Ger
many, mailed to go by either of said lines.

Summary of News.
The elections have passed of in many of the
Northern States, resulting in the triumph of the
Republicans in Pennsylvania and Ohio, and the
Democrats in Indiana and lowa. Hon. J. Glan
cev Jones, who was defeated by Anti-Lecompton
Schwartz, will leave for bis mission to Austria, to
which he has been appointed by the President,
next month.
The news from Mexico relates to the recent en
gagement between Yidaurri and Miramon. The
former was defeated with a loss of 500 men killed,
and 2,000 taken prisoners.
An express from Monterey- to Matamoras, how
ever, says that their loss was not so great—that
only a portion of the artillery and munitions were
captured by Miramon's forces, and that the Liber
al party made their retreat from the field in good
order. An official paper received at Monterey
says that Yidaurri had already sent orders to the
commander of Tampico for another park of artil
lery, which will soon be in the field, together with
the many forces concentrating about Yidaurri to
renew the attack. Col. Guadalupe Garcia was to
leave Tampico on the 2d inst., for the interior,
with 800 infantry and three pieces of artillery.—
Yidaurri had arrived at Monterey on the Bth
instant.
The yellow fever is still infesting some of our
Southern ports. Charleston, Savannah, Mobile,
New Orleans and Galveston. The number of
deaths from yellow fever in New Orleans since the
fever commenced, run up to the large figure of
4,183.
The last news from Brownsville, Texas, reports
the death by yellow fever of Col. Kixchen L.
Haralson, Collector of Customs at that port. —
This gentleman was a brother of the late Hon. Hu.
A. Haralson, of LaGrangc, Ga., and former
Representative in Congress from the 4th Dis
trict.
The American treaty with China has been rati
fied by the Chinese Emperor. It only awaits,
now, the approval of the Senate and signature of
the President.
Treaties with England, France, and Russia,
have also been ratified by the Emperor.
Thf, Yellow Feve at Artillery Posts.—
The following is a general statement of the num
ber of deaths from yellow fever up to the current
j date, at several artillery stations of the United
States:
At Fort Moultrie, Sullivan’s Island, S. C.—
Thirty men. Garrison, two companies and regi
mental band.
Fort Brown, Brownsville. Texas —Garrison,
company K. Ist artillery—two sergeants, three
corporals, twenty-five privates, two laundresses,
one ordnance sergeant and his wife, with Col. F.
Taylor, Major Ist artillery, commanding. There
were on the 12th instant 25 men sick in the hospi
tal, and only 12 for duty out of 70 strong, in Sep
tember. .
At Fort McHenry, Md., one sergeant, one pri
vate, one laundress, one ordnance sergeant.
Savannah News. —Mr. Desvcrgers has sold
his interest in this paper to his late partners, Blois
& Cooper, by whom it will be conducted under the

The Epidemic. —Once more wc rejoice in recor
ding the burials of yellow fever in the units.—
There were but three yesterday, although this
fluctuation is scarcely hopeful in the presence of
the thermometer’s range, which was up to 81 deg.
before noon yesterday. How much higher it
went in the three hot hours following we did not
observe.
At Point Clear, on the previous night, many
sanguine observers thought they saw signs of
coming frost, but morning dissipated the allusion.
We ardently wish we could, but cannot, counsel
the return of absentees, for the very many sick
forbid the belief that the present brief record is
part of a declining scale.— Mobile Register, Octo
ber 27.
Tiie Fever. —The epidemic continues to de
cline slowly. The Board of Health report 42 as
the number of deaths by the fever for the twenty
four hours ending Friday noon, and 45 as the
number for the twenty-four hours ending Saturday
noon. The course of the fever during the week
was as follows:
Thirty hours ending Monday noon, - 61
Twenty-four hours ending Tuesday noon - 34
“ “ “ Wednesdoy noon, - 16
“ “ “ Thursday noon, - 41
“ “ “ Friday noon, - 42
“ “ “ Saturday noon, - 45
Total for the week, lesslS hours, - - 239
The returns for the remaining eighteen hours of
the week, (which ended at 6 o’clock yesterday
morning,) will probably swell the week’s total to
about 250. The week before, the fever mortality
was 308. The decrease of last week weuld there
fore he about fifty-five or sixty.— N. O. Cres

The Camels.
A New Orleans paper announces that two vessels
have arrived off that city having on board 110
camels, imported by the federal government and
supposed to be intended to join those already at
Camp Verde, near San Antonio, Texas. All those
imported by former arrivals are said to be doing
well.
The latest accounts respecting them are that for
ty-nine, including all those last imported, are at
Camp Verde, and the others (seventy-five in all.)
are employed by Lieut. Beale in his explorations
in New Mexico and California.
Twelve or fifteen young ones have been added to
their number and promise to become as large and
strong as their parents. The Washington Star
says :
The Secretary of War is thoroughly satisfied of
the great usefulness of these animals, and of their
superiority for army service in the wilds of the in
terior over both the horse and mule. This opinion
is confirmed, too. by the experiments already made,
especially those by Lieut. Beale, who has used
them in crossing the plains of New Mexico, and
in traveling over the mountains, and found them
entirely capable of enduring the climate, and of
being employed to great advantage. Notwith
standing these facts, however, a number of the ar
my officers speak in disparaging terms of the ex
periment and manifest no little prejudice toward
I the animals. Be this as it may, from the experi
ments already made, there is no reason to believe
that their prejudices arc founded on such reasons
as to entitle them to any serious consideration;
and it is generally believed, by those best acquaint
ed with the matter, that the increase of camels in
the service will, ultimately, prove to be a measure
of great economy and utility.

Judicial Election—Macon Circuit.
The readers will find in our present number a
communication, signed “Fair Play,” which seems
to have been elicited by a paragraph commendato
ry of Judge Lamar, which appeared in alate num
ber of the “Columbus Times.” We publish the
whole together—the paragraph aforesaid; the
critique of “Fair Play;” and a rejoinder of the
“Times” to a similar critique signed “Justice,”
which we suppose is only another non deplume for
“Fair play,” who, we imagine, is “like Cerberus,
two gentlemen rolled into one.”
As the conductor of a Democratic Journal, we
do not feel at liberty to take any part in a contest
between two gentlemen whose records are so un
spotted as those of Judge Lamar and Mr. Giles,
and whatever, and however ardent, may he our
preferences as an individual, we intend to main
tain a rigid impartiality in these columns. We
have no hesitation in endorsing the eulogium
pronounced upon Mr. Giles. It is true as applied
to him—it would have been equally true if applied
to Judge Lamar; and it should he a source of pride
to the people of the Circuit that both candidates
for the exalted station of Judge are men of conce
ded integrity and ability, aud that the adminis
tration of justice will be safe in the hands of ei
ther.
In connection with this subject, we direct the
reader’s attention to the proceedings of a Demo
cratic meeting, lately held in Worth county. It
will he seen that they contain an expression of
opinion in favor of the nomination of candidates
for Judge and Solicitor —the time and place for a
Convention being designated, with a request that
other counties will co-operate. We leave the con
sideration of this question to the good sense ot the
people.
New York Polities.—Mexico—Administration.
At an enthusiastic democratic meeting at Tam
many Hall, New York City, on the 24tli instant,
among other speeches delivered, we extract the
following from the Hon. John A. Dix. He said :
“By whose act has Kansas been kept out of the
Union ? Not by Mr. Buchanan’s. If his recom
mendation had been adopted, she would, as I have
already said, at this very moment have been in
the Union with a Constitution of her own choice.
She has been k. pt out of the Union by the act of
her professed i riends. Ido not inquire into their
motives. I never impute motives to any man or
set of men. Some of them may have desired to
keep the question unsettled for political uses. But
it is more charitable to suppose that they took a
course which they knew would for a time keep
Kansas out of the Union for the sake of principle,
which they would not consent to give up, even
though they should thereby accomplish the object
they professed to have at heart. These are, to
use the language of a modern*writer,
“Good patriots who, for a theory, risk a cause
and it is hut fair that those who claim the merit of
adhering to the theoretical principle, should hear
the odium of the practical wrong, which their con
scientiousness has produced. I admit conscien
tiousness for courtesy’s sake and for the sake of
the argument; though it is somewhat difficult to
believe that the party to which we are indebted for
the contrivance of carrying measures through
Congress by the aid of factory stock, may not have
been influenced in tins matter by a lower motive
than political virtue. At all events, it is right that
the responsibility of keeping Kansas out of the
Union should rest where it belongs—not on Mr.
Buchanan, but on those who thwarted and defeat
ed him in his purpose of making Kansas a State
with full power to regulate her own concerns in
her own way (applause.) There has been and
still is a great deal of misapprehension on this sub
ject, and it may be that it has had its influence on
the recent unfortunate result in Pennsylvania. I
am not sure that the result is not due, in a great
degree, to the depression in business during the
last year, and the effect of the revulsion in a State
which depends largely for her prosperity on manu
factures. In seasons of general depression the
Government of a country is sure to suffer in popu
larity. Even though the prevailing evils are
avowedly not to bo traced to its measure or its
policy, the mass of the community are apt to fa
vor a change of Administration in order to take
all the chances of a change of times. It is well
known that there is a strong feeling in Pennsylva
nia in favor of a high tariff. Nothing could he
more irrational. The spirit of the age is against
commercial restriction. Standing as we do, only
ten days from the great Atlantic States of the
Eastern Hemisphere for all purposes of personal
intercourse, and hut a few hours, as we shall when
the Atlantic Telegradh is in (operation, for the
communication of intelligence, it is idle to sup
pose the communities on either side will endure
any further restraint on the interchange of their
products. It would be a retrograde step in the
progress of civilization, at which the instincts of
the age would revolt.
There is hut one mode in which the industry of
the country can he advantageously stimulated, and
that is by opening more fields for the consumption
of its products. Our manufactures should see this
and act accordingly, instead of expending their ef
forts on the maintenance of antiquated systems,
the downfall of which is inevitable, as the commer
cial interest of the country did for many years in
upholding the Bank of the United States, and re
sisting the Independent Treasury. The most ef
fective of all tariffs they could possibly have is to
he found in the annexation of Cuba and Mexico, in
breaking up the systems of exclusion which pre
vail there, and in introducing our own products
free of duty. Let them consider for a moment
what an impulse would be given to production if
the eight millions of people in Mexico could be free
ly supplied with the fruits of our industry ! That
Republic is in a state of complete disorganization.
Parties are arrayed against each other with arms
in their hands, breathing the most deadly hostili
ty. There is no security for property or life. So
cial order is subverted, and there is no prospect of
its restoration but through the interposition of
foreign aid. Her proximity to us renders all inter
ference in her affairs by European powers wholly
inadmissable. It would be dangerous to our safe
ty. We could not consent to it. But we cannot
reasonably resist interference on their part, and
at the same time decline to act ourselves with a
view to past and to existing evils. It is a great
question, I admit—one which should he well con
sidered, and one on which opinions in this country
will he divided. For myself, I have no doubts.—
I believe the interests of humanity and our own
are in unison. And it is a curious fact that, while
the great powers of Europe have hitherto looked
with jealousy and disfavor on our extension, some
of the leading organs of opinion abroad are now
calling on us to interpose and put down social dis
order in Mexico for the benefit of the civilized
world, by taking that Republic under our protec
tion. lam in favor of responding to the invoca
tion in the most prompt and effectual manner: and
I believe there is statesmanship enough in the
country to devise a plan of union by which our
neighbor may he made a sharer of our quietude,
our freedom, and our prosperity, to the advantage
of both. But, fellow citizens, this is too important
and extensive a project to be discussed in detail
here. Let me dismiss it and bring my remarks to
a close by a single reference to a nearer neighbor,
who has recently fallen away from the political
faith of her fathers—Pennsylvania. Instead of
being discouraged by the example of her defection,
it should rouse us to new exertions to put N. York
right. If the public mind there has for the mo
ment been carried away by popular delusions, let
us labor the more earnestly to clear up the politi
cal atmosphere here. If Mr. Buchanan in his own
home, has been successfully assailed by the perfid
ious arms of men over whose heads in the hour of
their need he has more than once held the shield of
his friendship and protection, let us bring New
York to his aid, and for every unfaithful partizan
there give him an honest and efficient supporter
here. (Applause.) Let us remember, also, that in
sustaining him we are fighting the battles of the
Democracy ot the Inion. Let us, then, go into
the contest like men—not for the ••spoils,” that
base watchword of mercenary partizanship—but
to uphold great principles of government, and to
speed on our glorious country in her career of pros
perity and power. (Loud applause.)
Atter eloquent speeches by Hon. Jno. Kelly and
others, the meeting adjourned.

Democrats in Italics: Opposition in Roman.
From the Richmond South.
Virginia and thclProteetioiiists.
The following paragraph from a recent issue of
the New York Courier t£‘ Enquirer, will be read
with surprise by the Democracy of A irginia:
“In the contention between tbe principles of
Protection to American industry and Free Trade,
Southern opposition to the former interest is to be
materially modified and weakened by the secession
of Virginia from the cause of Free Trade. This is
tin event which I have long expected. There is
no other State that so greatly needs and would so
greatly profit by a system of rigid legislative en
couragement of home industry, as Virginia.—
There is no other State which hits so much iron,
coal, salt, lead and gypsum, so much available
water power, and I may add, so much idle and
now worthless .manual power, as Virginia. The
Richmond Enquirer, the standard democratic au
thority for the State, recognizes these facts, and
calls aloud for “the devolpment of natural re
sources.”
We cannot wonder that such an inveterate
Federalist as General James Watson Webb should
be transported by the prospect of a restoration of
high tariffs, but we may well marvel to find any
body so credulous as to imagine that Virginia
will assist in the resurrection of Whig absurdities.
If the people of this Commonwealth are more
attached to any one principle of Federal policy
than another, it is to the principle of an unrestric
ted commerce. If the people of this Common
mealth are more averse from any one principle of
Federal policy tk.ln another, it is the principle
that the general interests of the community may
be taxed for the benefit of a particular enterprise.
Nobody will dispute this assertion. Every well
informed person in the State is familliar with the
fact that whenever the issue of Free Trade and
Protection has been submitted to the intelligent
voters of Virgiuia, they havo embraced the true
and repudiated the false doctrine. In 1840. when
the tvhigs achieved a “dishonest victory” in tbe
Old Dominion, the}’ succeeded by the renunciation
of their peculiar tenets. Their address of that
year will show that they did not dare appeal to
the people in support of a high tariff. True, they
indulged largely in the declamatory commonplaces
of the Protectionist school, and for even that haz
ardous indiscretion they were severely punished at
the susequent election. The Democracy have
maintained their ascendancy in Virginia chiefly
by reason of their chamoionsuip of Free Trade,
and motives of self idterest, if no other considera
tion, would guaranty their constant fidelity to a
popular cause. But, in truth, this principle is the ‘
cornerstone of their creed—is the fundamental
postulate of their political philosophy. They believe
in it with the force of undoubting conviction, they
are attached to it by a thousand glorious associa
tions. It was this watchword which animated
and sustained them in their arduous and decisive
struggle with Federalism; nor will it ever be re
peated without rekindling their old fire and recall
ing the proudest recollection of their history. The
“secession of Virginia from the cause of Free
Trade,” is then, nothing more than the vain imag
ing of a desperate spirit.

ters cannot be too highly recommended. To the
traveling community, especially, it is certainly
an invaluable remedy; having little or no exer

of a change of climate and water, they require
some pleasant medicine of this kind to regulate

efficacy in the most public manner possible. Their
certificates can be seen at the proprietor’s depot,

properly appreciated, we have no hesitation in
saying they will impress conviction on tbe most

BARBOUR COUNTY~LANDS
for SALE.
HAVING purchased land in the West, I now
offer tor sale both my p'antations, lyj ri „
the Nurth Cowikee Creek. The place on wh lc h
1 now reside, known as the Barna Ivey Plantation
contains 2,475 ncres, with a large proportion <>f
fresh and Hammock land. Th reareon the plan
tation 1,400 acres cleared, and in a fine state j
cultivation, thoroughly drained, with a large num.
ber ot well located ditches. The dwellino ,j
commodious, having 6 large rooms, neatly finish
ed.and is situated within the corporate limits o
Glennville, convenient to the Colleges and
Churches. ‘1 ho out houses are in good repair and
sufficient for the accommodation of 100 negroes
On th s place, are two new gin houses, one of
which is propelled by water power, to which h
attached a grist mill, all in good order.
Lying broadside this place is mv other planta
tion, recently owned by Col. W. H- Owens, con
taining 901 acres. The dwelling, out-houses, gin
house and screw are all new and well finished
and equally convenient to Glennville. Being de
termined to sell, l would not object to dividing
my lands to suit purchasers. To those acquainted
with these lands I need not say more—to those at
a distance, I would say that they cannot be e s .
celled io point of health or productiveness in east
Alabama.
GlennvilJe is noted for the morality, intelligence
and refinement of its citizens. It is situated 12
miles Irom the Mobile and Girard Railroad, 6
miles from Jernigan, a steamboat landing on the
Chattahoochie river, and 16 miles from Eulaula,
to which point the South-Western Railroad of
Georgia will soon be completed. For further pat
ticulars, address me at Glennville, Alabama.
F.S. As 1 am axious'io carry out my plans west
I propose if I can find a purchaser lor ihe above
named lands, to let them gn at the low price ot
twelve dollars and a half per acre, cash.
And if not sold before Saturday the twentieth of
November next, 1 will have them divided into
two or more tracts by a survey, and oficr them
on that day at public outcry to the highest bidder.
Land buyers might do well to examine the
lands before buying elsewhere.
