COLI MBIS FRIDAT. NOVEMBER 5, ISoS. Newspapers and Editors. The first number of the Independent Southron, a weekly newspaper published at Helena, Arkan sas, by Messrs. H. S. Harris & M. Block, has reached us. As its name indicates, it will be in dependent in politics. No one who reads the Sal utatory can charge it with a breach of neutrality thus far. Its mechanical appearance is good. Price two dollars per annum. ’ We are pleased also, to acknowledge the receipt of the first number of the Daily Federal Union , containing the Governor's Message. We hope the enterprising publishers will be amply remu nerated for their laudable effort to furnish the reading public, daily, with proceedings at the State Capital. Maj. R. A. Crawford has become associated with Maj. D. 11. Steele in the editorial department of the Griffin Empire State. V. A. Gaskill, Esq., is now associate editor of the Atlanta Intelligencer. We welcome these gen tlemen to the profession and wish them much suc oess. Mobile As Girard Railroad. In an article from the Mobile Register, publish ed in another column, our readers will find an encouraging reference made to the above enter prise. The citizens of Mobile are exhorted to shake off their long indulged apathy in relation to this work, and embark in good earnest in its con struction. It is becoming painfully apparent, that by this means alone they can save themselves from the ruinous competition which Pensacola, by rea son of the railroad projects, now in contemplation and in course of construction.will soon he enabled to make for the produce of Northern, Middle, and Southern Alabama. Montgomery has pushed her Pensacola road to a point of progress where its ultimate completion is no longer a matter of speculation; and now, Selma, impatient of her dependence upon the .capricious clouds for the egress and ingress of her produce and supplies has resolved to connect herself with the latter road and secure an overland transit to the Gulf. In this posture of affairs, Moblilo can see no other alternative, to building her end ofYhe Mobile and Girard Road, but a confinement of her trade to eastern Mississippi and a small slip© of Western 1 Alabama. The indulgence of an inert policy a few years longer will realize, what she has long considered i the interpretation of a distempered dream a neighboring city, on the same coast, possessing superior advantages of location, having the ele ments of an amazing expansion, rising into a posi- I tion of dangerous rivalry with her, and if not de ll stined to overshadow her, at least, capable of 1 sapping the foundations of her prosperity. Except fas a matter of pride in tho completion of the I Mobile & Girard road, we presume that Columbus i has ceased to feel any concern in the matter. — That road will certainly he built to the intersec tion of its line of location with tho Montgomery and Pensacola road, and for all material and practical purposes a connexion with Pensacola, equally with Mobile, will subserve the interests of our city. The Eastern Bank of Alabama. This Institution is now about commencing ope | ; rations at Eufaula. The Bank of Columbus, \! which has held, for some time past, a special de- II posit from it, of about one hundred and twenty i \ thousand dollars in gold and silver coin ($120,000) I delivered that amount yesterday to N. M. Hyatt, 1 Esq., who was appointed by the bank to receive it I and take it to Eufaula. We congratulate our 1 sister city upon the auspicious movement thus H inaugurated. The advantages to tho commercial, H mercantile and industrial interests of her popula ! tion, which will flow in natural sequence from the establishment in her midst of a Home Banking In stitution upon a reliable basis, cannot well be es timated. Our own city is enjoying the rich fruit of such an enterprise in the beneficent operation El of the Bank of Columbus. If our friends in Ala- H bama will accept a model for legitimate and prof ra liable management in their new undertaking, we B commend to them that institution for their gui- Bg dance.

Meanwhile it is but fair |1 claim that the covenants made with our people :? aall be enforced. Not only has Costa Rica made mple apology to [our government, but received <|en.

Mr. Ward —the Pres ident of the Senate —in taking the chair stated that it was tho first annual session under the Constitution as amended —there was a difficulty in the minds of many as to present, officers hold ing their positions without being re-elected —that to relievo the Senate from auy embarrassment, he would vacate the chair and leave the question, which was a novel one, to the discretion of Sen ators —Mr. Reynolds of Newton, took the chair and after a discussion of the propriety and neces sity of anew organization, in which Messrs. Cone of Bullock, Whitaker of Fulton, Slaughter of Dougherty and others participated, Mr. Ward ten dered his resignation with a view of relieving all doubt and was re-elected. The subordinate of ficers were then re-elected. The sense of the Sen ate was that there was no necessity for a re-organ ization. This was shown by the failure to act upon a resolution declaring that in future the of ficers should bo elected at ever} - session. Prior to the balloting, the members from the new counties were sworn in by Judge Joseph H. Lumpkin of the Supreme Court. A Committee consisting of Gen. Cone of Bul lock, Reynolds of Newton, Paine of Telfair, on the part of the Senate and Milledge of Richmond, Irwin of Wilkes, and Colquitt of Baker, on the part of the House, waited on the Governor to in form him of the organization of the two branches and that they were ready to receive any commu nication from him. Whereupon the Annual Mes sage was presented to the two bodies by Mr. Mc- Combs —the Governor’s Secretary—and read.— The death of Gen. Coffee of Itabun was announced in the Senate and touching eulogies delivered on his character by Messrs. Harrard of Lumpkin, Thomas of Gwinnett and Billups of Morgan. The Senate then passed a resolution to wear the usual badge of mourning during the Session. The Sen ate then adjourned to meet at 10 o’clock to-mor row. The House adjourned ufter the reading of the Message. I notice tho arrival here, in addition to those I last mentioned, of Gov. H. V. Johnson, Hon. A. R. “Wright, Col. Porter Ingram and Dr. Alonzo Church. O. The Mission to China. We are gratified to learn, (says tho Daily Fede ral Union) that the Mission to China has been tendered to, and accepted by, Hon. John E. Ward of Georgia. That a Southern man, from a cotton State, should have received this appointment, just at this juncture in the commercial history of Chi na, is indeed most fortunate; but the fact that a Georgian, and one so well qualified and deserved ly esteemed as Mr. “Ward, should fill the post of Minister to China, is, to his friends, a source of unmingled pride and pleasure. By this appoint ment the State and the Democratic party are hon ored; and the country supplied with a public ser vant, honest, faithful and qualified. Fatal Casuallty. It is our painful duty to record the death by ac cident, on the morning of Monday, the Ist inst„ of Mr. James R. Kendrick at. his own residence, near Hardaway, about ten miles distant from this place. Some Stock owners had called on Mr. Kendrick to showjhim a pair of match horses. Mr. Kendrick in passing between or around them, re ceived a kick from one of them against the under jaw or chin, which it was supposed dislocated his neck. Mr. Kendrick died immediately,— Union Springs Gazette. Where the Coin Goes. —Wc have recently been noticing large importations of coi by the Banks of our city. It seems, however, that it does not remain long in their vaults. We learn that the Bank of Charleston paid yesterday to two of the Augusta Banks $250,000, viz : $200,000 to the Me chanics’ Bank, and $50,000 to the City Bank.— This is done all in course of trade, to aid in carry ing forward the Cotton crop. Cotton from Augus ta finds its way to this city, and is drawn against by short bills, say ten to twenty days. It is ship ped from this port to Europe and various Nor thern points. The Banks here buy the Exchange, and are obliged to furnish coin for the Augusta Banks, and hence the recent heavy importations. Charleston Courier. From the Washington Union, October 31st. A Proclamation by the President. Whereas information has reached me from sour ces which I cannot disregard, that certain persons, in violation of the neutrality laws of the United States, are making a third attempt to set on foot a military expedition within their territory against Nicaragua, a foreign State, with which they are at pecae. In order to raise money for equiping and maintaining this expedition, persons connected therewith, as I have reasons to believe, have is sued and sold bonds and other contracts pledging the public lands of Nicaragua and the transit route through its territory as a security for their redemption and fulfilment. The hostile design of this expedition is rendered manifest by the fact that these bonds and contracts can be of no possible value to their holders, unless the present government of Nicaragua shall be overthrown by force. Besides, the envoy extraor dinary and minister plenipotentiary of that gov ernment in the United States has issued a notice, in pursuance of his instructions, dated on the 26th instant, forbidding the citizens or subjects of any ntaion, excepting passengers intending to proceed through Nicaragua over the Transit route, from ocean to ocean, to enter its territories without a regular passport, signed by the proper minister or consul-general of the Republic resident in the country from whence they shall have departed.— Such persons, with this exception, “will be stop ped and compelled to return by the same convey ance that took them to the country,” From these circumstances, the inference is irre sistible that persons engaged in this expedition will leave the United States with hostile purposes against Nicaragua. They cannot, under the guise which they have assumed, that they are peaceful emigrants, conceal their real intentions, and espe cially when they know, in advance, that their land ing will be resisted, and can only be accomplish ed by an overpowering force. This expedient was successfully resorted to previous to the last expe dition, and the vessel in which those composing it were conveyed to Nicaragua, obtained a clearance from the collector of the port of Mobile. Although, after a careful examination, no arms or munitions of war were discovered on board, yet, when they arrived in Nicaragua, they were found to be arm ed and equipped and immediately commenced hos tilities. The leaders of former illegal expeditions of the same character have openly expressed their intention to renew hostilities against Nicaragua. One of them, who has already been twice expell ed from Nicaragua, has invited, through the pub lic newspapers, American citizens to emigrate to that Republic, and has designated Mobile as the place of renzdevous and departure, and San Juan del Norte as the port to which they are bound.— This person, who has renounced his allegiance to the United States, and claims to be President of Nicaragua, has given notice to the collector of the port of Mobile, that two or three hundred of these emigrants will be prepared to embark from that port about the middle of November. For these and other good reasons, and for the purpose of saving American citiitns who may have been honestly deluded into the belief that they are about to proceed to Nicaragua aa peace ful emigrants, if any such there be, from the disas trous consequences to which they will be exposed, I, Jas. Buchanan, President of the United States, have thought it fit to issue this my proclamation enjoining upon all officers of the Government., civil and military, in their respective spheres, to be vig ilant, active and faithful in suppressing these ille gal enterprises, and in carrying out their standing instructions to that effect; exhorting all good cit izens, by their respect for the laws and their regard for the peace and welfare of the country, to aid the efforts of the public authorities in the discharge of their duties. In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed to these presents. Done at the City of Washington, the thirtieth [L. S.] day of Oct., one thousand eight hundred J and fifty eight of the independence of the United States the eighty-third. James Buchanan. By the President: Lewis Cass, Secretary of State. Dr. Chas. A. Ward. —We have before noticed the decease of this estimable gentleman; son-in law to the Rev. Dr. Boring, of this city. The Texas Advocate pays the following tribute to his character and worth: “ He was,” says the Advocate, “for many years a resident of California, and the heroism which Dr. Ward manifested when the surgeon of steam er Oregon, on a trip from Panama to San Francis co, fled from his duty, in taking charge of, and under the blessing of God, succeeded in saving the lives of three hundred passengers, suffering from yellow fever, will never be forgotten by those who knew him there. Dr. Ward had been but a short time a resident of this city, but his universally kind, courteous and gentlemanly conduct had en deared him to all who knew him. He had, from the first a presentiment that his disease would prove fatal, but bore himself throughout as a Chris tian and a gentleman; and when told that his last moments were near, he called his sorrowing friends around him to see a Christian die. His last words wore ‘ all is bright, very bright.’ ” We regret to have to add. that the accomplish ed and heroic wife of Dr. “NV aid, has also fallen a victim to the same disease. Like him, she was supported and cheered with the Divine presence in her last houi s, and with the pledge of their mutu al love and ; flection, she has quickly rejoined her husband in the bright and better land. The be reaved relations and friends have our sincere con dolence. — Macon Jour. & Mess. From Washington. Washington, Nov. 2. —The War Department has given a [guaranty of military protection to Mr. Butterfield’s overland route to the Pacific. The forces now engaged in the Indian warfare in Texas are to be augmented by a regiment ‘from Leavenworth, and armed with the Minnie and Sharpe Rifles. Mortality in Cities. Savannah, Nov. 2.—The weekly report of the mortality in this city shows twenty-three inter ments, among which were eight caused by yellow fever. New Orleans, Nov, 2.—There were twenty seven deaths by yellow fever in this city on yes terday. A frost was noticed in the suburbs of the city early this morning. Savannah. Nov. 3.—There were ten interments to-day, two of which were caused by yellow fever. New Orleans, Nov. 3.— -There were twenty four deaths by yellow fever on yesterday. Selma and Gulf Railroad andMobilf.—We publish a communication this morning from a cor respondent, relative to the forthcoming meeting at Selma, to forward the cause of the contemplated railroad communication between that point and the Gulf, and urging the importance of an attend ance and exertion on the part of citizens of Mobile with a view to induce a decision in favor of our city as the Gulf terminus of the said road instead of Pensacola. If we are rightly informed, we fear it is too late to undertake to effect this object. We understand that the road from Selma to Pensaco la has already been definitively determined on, al most sufficient subscriptions made to build it, and the preliminary steps all taken sometime since to wards it. It would hardly be possible, in such a state of the case, at this late day, to divert the road from its projected destination, and turn it to Mo bile. But if this cannot be done, there is a thing that Mobile can do, and which would give her per haps all the advantage that would accrue from a direct road from Selma hither—that is to construct a road from here to intersect with the Selma and Pensacola road at Evergreen, or some such point in the direction .of the projected Mobile and Girard road. This is a measure of the utmost importance to our city, and altogether and easily practicable, and should commend itself to the earliest and most earnest attention of our citizens. A road from here to Evergreen, (the point of convergence of the Montgomery and Pensacola and Selma and Pensacola roads,) while it would be in furtherance of the proposed Mobile and Girard road—which being built would at once place our city in the line of the shortest route from New Orleans to the North —would give us all the desired advantages of a railroad communication with Montgomery and Selma, and all the parts of the State communica ting with those points, as well as all the regions south of them. This road would at once intercept from Pensacola all the golden advantages she will otherwise reap from the completion of the roads now being carriod thither from Montgomery and Selma, and throw them all into the lap of Mobile. And assuredly if this road is not built, and that very speedily, our city will suffer a most stagger ing blow to her interests. It is a matter of the most vital importance to the citizens of Mobile, and should claim their immediate attention. Mo bile certainly possesses abundant means, notwith standing her large outlay upon the Mobile and Ohio Road, to build this road, so obviously indis pensable to her prosperity, and that at once. She should, even at a largo sacrifice of her convenience, do it. Her very destiny depends upon it. —Mobile Register. The Administration —The Return of Cap tured Africans—The African Squadron.— We copy the following from the Washington cor respondent of the Baltimore Sun : “One subject to which the attention of Congress will doubtless be called by the Executive, is that of transporting to the coast of Africa negroes res cued from slavers. Not only is this expensive policy of law arraigned and sustained by all the facts of the real home condition of Africans, as elicited by the developments consequent upon the capture of the ‘Echo,’ but so also is that of main taining a squadron upon that coast of cannibal savages, especially as the original design thereof is turned into a mockery by the conduct of France and England. Justifying themselves by the Eng lish example in that worst form of slave trade— the Coolie saystem—the French are demoralizing everything on the East coast of Africa, in their procuration of ‘negro apprentices’ for island colo nies. Recent reliable news from that quarter is that ‘thousands of slaves, during the past two or three years, have been taken from the Portuguese possessions by French vessels, and carried to Bourbon, under a pretence of free labor and Coo lie laws.’ This has been done under forms of law, but is nothing less than the slave trade in disguise. Essaying to stop this, these native slave dealers were seized by the Portuguese authorities a year since, which act has precipitated a war with all the ‘inside’ barbarian princes, who threaten con stant hostilities, until their factors or consignees of slaves (the three dealers before named) are lib erated. It will be remembered, also, that inter pellations in the British Parliament last winter were to the effect that the French Policy bad al most entirely broken up trade in palm oil, etc., the native princes having gone to war with one another to profit by the sale of prisoners to the French.” A Coroner’s jury in Georgia recently return ed the following verdict, in the case of a man who had been killed by lightning : “We are opinioned that the deceased came to his death casually by an acciden tal stroke of thunder.” Telegraphic.

Illinois. —The election in this State ‘was con fined almost exclusively to the Douglas Democrats and tho Republicans. Four Republican Con gressmen are elected, so far as heard from. There are few Administration majorities reported. Private despatches state that Douglas gains in some portions of the State. The Result in Ohio. —The official re turns of eighty-one counties have been re ceived at the Secretary of State’s office at Columbus. They show that the majority for the Fueionists in the State will be 20.000 on Supreme Court Judge. The Demo cratic vote will be about 160,000 4 and the Fusion vote 180,000, The Democratic vote will be larger than it was on Governor last year. The full vote of the State has not bten polled by 60,000. In 1856, on President, the Republicans had 17,000 plu rality over the Democrats. There were 28,000 votes given to Fillmore by the Amer icans. This year the latter had no State ticket, but fused in the counties and dis tricts with the Republicans. They voted the State ticket of the latter to a man. The Republicans thus reinforced by 28,000 Fill more men, have hardly been able to in crease the plurality they had in 1856 with out them. Had the Fillmore vote been thrown on a separate ticket as it was in 1856, the Democratic State ticket would have been elected by 8,000 majority.— Cincinnati Enquirer. The Cotton Crop. The New Yoik Journal of Commerce has. the following on the ail-absorbing topic in commercial circles: The beautiful weather in September (which has been freer from storms of wind or rain than any similar period at the South for many years) has not only matured the crop rapidly, but has enabled the planters to make rapid progress in picking. The rust has injured the growth in many dis tricts, and the overflow probably wiped out 200,000 baies, but the remaining yield is now almost independent of the question of frost, and is set down generally at about 2,- 300,000 bales. The picking is several weeks (say one month) earlier than usual, and this will bring an increased quantity into market at an early date. If any of our readers have not calculated for themselves the value of this crop, a few figures in that connection will both interest and surprise them. If we take 3,300,000 bales as the probable crop, and 550 lbs. as the average to the bale, and (considering that the quali ty is said to be better than usual) it we as sume 12][ cents as the average price, we shall have as the total vlaue of the new crop, in round numbers, two hundred and twenty-seven million dollars ! This is, to all intents and purposes, over and above the consumption of the cotton growing States, and is only that which they will have to sell, or to exchange for other pro duce and manufacture. If the price named be reckoned too much, we shall find that even at ten cents per pound the total value would be $181,500,000, and this is an arti cle which will be certainly wanted, and commands a ready sale in all the principal markets ot the world.
