COLIMBIS, WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 10. ISM.
Black Republican Pronunclamento.
We extract below a few paragraphs from a
speech recently made by William H. Sewar<l, Sen
ator in the Congress of the United Stales from the
State of New York, and high priest of abolition
ism. From the relations of Mr. Seward to the
Black Republican party we are justified in regard
ing the sentiments proclaimed in this speeches the
authoritative exposition ot the programme of ac
tion and the settled purpose of that organization.
He is a sagacious, shrewd, far-seeing man. He
has too-mueh caution to take a position iu which
he will not certainly he sustained by the instincts
and sympathies of the northern mind. He has
accurately sounded northern feeling on the ques
tion of slavery and he knows its depth and how
far he may venture with safety. We say, there
fore, that we may assume that Mr. Seward repre
sents the opinion of the Black Republican party
of the North, when he declares that there is an es
sential and inherent antagonism between the Slave
power iu the South and free soil power in the
North—an antagonism which will necessitate a
conflict that shall result in the final and complete
overthrow of one or the other principle. It is the
policy, us well as a necessity, of that party to take
an advanced, ultra position upon the settlement
of every question between it and its antagonist.—
Based upon one idea alone, agitation is a necessa
ry element of its existence —the sole guarantee of
its success. Some new battle must he in anticipa
tion, some new triumph ever in prospect, to hold
its votaries in compacted array. Accordingly, its
history demonstrates that its conduct has been in
conformity to this principle. Its beginning was
small and its pretensions insignificant. We will
not follow it through all the phases of its miracu
lous growth. It is enough for our readers to know
that with unabashed front, it, to-day, is grasping
after the control of this Government, and defiant
ly proclaims its intention to assert the supremacy
of free labor in the cotton fields of Georgia and
her Southern Sisters. He says :
Our country is a theatre which exhibits, in full
operation, two radically different political systems
—the one resting on the basis of servile or slave
labor; the other on the basis of voluntary labor of
freemen. The laborers who are enslaved are all
negroes, or persons more or less purely of African
derivation. Hut this is only accidental. It was
the antagonistic political tendencies of the two
systems which the first Napoleon was contempla
ting when he predicted that Europe would ulti
mately be either all Cossack or all Republican.—
Never did human sagacity utter a more pregnant
truth. The two systems are at once perceived to
be incongruous. But they are more than incon
gruous, they are incompatible. They never have
permanently existed together in one country, and
they never can. It would be easy to demonstrate
this impossibility, from the irreconcilable contrast
between their great principles and characteristics.
But the experience of mankind has conclusively
established it.
Shall I tell you what this collision means? They
who think that it is accidental, unnecessary, the
work of interested or fanatical agitators, and there
fore ephemeral, mistake the case altogether. It
is an irrepressible conflict between opposing and
enduring forces, and it means that the United
States must and trill, sooner or later, become en
tirely a slaveholding nation, or entirely a free-la
bor nation. Either the cotton and rice fields of
South Carolina and the sugar plantations of Lou
isiana will ultimately be tilled by free labor, and
Charleston and New Orleans become marts for le
gitimate merchandise alone, or else the rye fields
and wheat fields of Massachusetts and New York
must again he surrendered by their farmers to slave
culture and to the production of slaves, and Bos
ton and New York become once more markets for
trade in the bodies and souls of men. It is the
failure to apprehend this great truth that induces j
so many unsuccessful attempts at final compromise
between the slave and free States, and it is the
existence of this great fact that renders all such
pretended compromise, when made, vain and
ephemeral. * * * * *
The Yellow Fever.
The Daily Delta states that four thousand eight
hundred and fifty-eight persons have died of this
epidemic in New Orleans from the week end
ing 27th of June to the week ending 31st of Oc
tober.
jJ&U' A Convention of Southern Rail Road man
agers will he held at Chattanooga, Tennessee, on
the 23d instant. The principal business of the
meeting will be the establishment of a thorough
schedule of passenger and freight rates. This has
been contemplated for some time in consequence
of the new competition inaugurated by the open
ing of the Tennessee and Virginia Rail Road last
spring, and by the rapid progress towards com
pletion of embryo lines. Among the roads which
will be represented at the Conference are the Bal
timore and Ohio, New Orleans, Jackson and Great
Northern. Mississippi Central, East Tennessee
and Virginia, Memphis and Charleston, and Cen
tral Georgia.
On the 2d inst., the ceremonies, previously
announced to take place, at the completion of the
monument to the memory of Gen. Charles H. Nel
son, were performed at Calhoun. The cadets of
the Georgia Military Institute, under the com
mand ofMaj. A. Y. Brumby, a large number of
the comrades in arms of the gallant Nelson, and
friends and citizens, were iu attendance. The eu
logy was delivered by Judge E. R. Hardin.
A Price Fight at Lafayette, Ind. —Fancy
stock is going up, and prize fights are not without
their effects. Robert Jones and H. W. Chase, two
limbs of the law, had a fist-fight in Court, at La
fayette, on Friday last. The Lafayette Courier
gives the following graphic account of the first
round:
“Mr. Chase gave Mr. Jones the lie, whereupon
Jones planted a well-directed blow betweeu the
two eyes of the aforesaid Chase, and was about to
tollow up his advantage, when Chase aforesaid
‘got home,’ as the ‘fancy’ express it with a beau
tiful ‘right counter’ on the frontispiece of the afore
said Jones, and the attorney for the plaintiff drop
ped, as limber as lour cent muslin. He came to
‘time,’ however, and closing with the railroad at
torney. piled him into the jury-lmx in a verv un
comfortable shape.”
As the parties were both exhausted, friends in
erfered, and had the second round postponed.
All the butterflies of fashion, all the drones
tof loaferdom, all the wasps of criticism, with a
goodly sprinkling of the different kinds of busy
bees of trade and commerce, combined together to
make a large audience for Piecolomini upon her
latest appearance at the Academv, savs a New
York paper.
General Wm. Walker’s visit to Washing
ton, it is believed, was undertaken for the purpose
of protesting against the proclamation of the
MILLEDGEVILLE CORRESPONDENCE.
Millkdgf.villb, Nov. 8, 1858.
Mr. Editor —Since my last communication
j to you, two bills have passed the House, which
1 interest the citizens of Columbus; one, carrying
j out the resolutions of the meeting at Temperance
Hall, in reference to the subscriptions to the
Mobile A Girard Railroad—legalizing the al
most uuauimous vote given in favor of subscrip
tion by the citizens; and the other, altering and
amending the charter of the City of Columbus. I
enclose you the latter, which you can publish for
the information of your numerous city readers.—
You will perceive that it changes the election of
Aldermen by Wards, Jaud requires that they be
I elected by the votes of the whole city—also giving
; the Mayor Jurisdiction and power to try certain
j offences mentioned in the act.
T. R. R. Cobh, Esq.,addressed the members of
the Legislature Saturday evening (6th inst.) on
the subject of Free Schools. He is an engaging
; and impressive speaker, and is much enlisted in
the great cause he advocates. Still, lie presented
! views which were not endorsed by even the friends
of the system. He undertook to show that free
dom from taxation was a “curse,” and while
be did not approve of a high tax, he believed
: a Small tax increased our loyalty to the State.—
| Some may owe their allegiance to their State to
the small pittance they put into the Treasury, but
the patriotic citizen will love most when it protects
i him in the enjoyment of his rights, and imposes
upon him no burthens in the way of taxation. Mr.
\ Cobb endeavored to show that the reduction of
! taxes benefited only-the rich, and that the poor
j had little or no interest in iu That as the poor
I man paid little or nothing into the Treasury, he
| had everything to gain and nothing to lose by
taxing the community. This was down-right
agrarianism—that it is right to take from the rich
jto benefit the poor. Then we should he made to
i support our neighbors and their children for the
sake of republican equality and equal rights !
State aid bills to Railroads, absorb in the Legis
j lature all other bills in importance. Everybody
i wants a road and the State ought to build it. The
! people may not be aroused to a sense of the great
danger to which the State is exposed by the pass
: age of these bills, but the Legislator, who has the
| moral firmness to oppose them, and discharge his
duty, deserves well the gratitude of the people.—
I Should the five or six roads he granted a loan of
| the State’s credit, which are now applying before
I the Legislature, tho sequel will be a crushing
| State debt—a depreciation of State Stocks and a
! paralysis in all tho departments of commerce and
trade.
An animated discussion took place to-day in
the House, in relation to raising a committee to se
lect a site for the Penitentiary, in which Messrs.
Kenan of Baldwin, and Smith of Towns, were the
chief disputants. Anew county bill passed the
Senate and was transmitted to the House. It was
taken from the counties of Fayette and Henry
and is to he called Buti.kr. There are many
more bills of this character before the General
Assembly. The State has more counties now
than she has room for their Representatives end
Senators. Eight were madeJast session.
I notice here the Hon. James L. Seward of the
Ist District; also Judges McDonald, Lumpkin and
Penning, who are attending the Supreme Court
session.
Hon. John A. Tucker, the Senator from Stew
art, has arrived after a delay at the Courts for a
few.days. He holds a commanding position in the
Senate. In this connection, I might say, Slaugh
ter of Dougherty is gradually winning his way to
rank and place. C.

Yllgtl A. Powers, Superintendent of the South-west*
Railroad.
On Thursday last, at a meeting of the Board of
Directors of the South-western Railroad, Mr.
Virgil A. Powers, the Chief Engineer, was elected
Superintendent in place of Mr. George W. Adams,
transferred to the Central Railroad. Mr. Powers
is an accomplished Engineer and an experienced
Railroad man. He commenced his career as an
Engineer in the prelimary survey of the Central
Railroad, made by Col. Cruger, in 1834— was ap
pointed an assistant Engineer to the late L. 0.
Reynolds, in 1 j>36, and has been connected with
the Central and South-western Railroads continu
ously, from that time to the present, with the ex
eeptien ef three montW eervie* Chief Engineer
of the Pensacola and Georgia Railroad. Mr. Pow
ers was also associated with Mr. Holcombe, in tho
survey of the Macon and Columbus Road, and on
the Milledgevillo and Gordon Road. He was con
nected with the corps which surveyed and located
the South-western Road, and the Albany and
Americus branch. We predict he will prove em
inently worthy of the confidence bestowed on him.
We welcome him to Macon.— Macon Telegraph.

The Great Battle between Vldaurrl and Miramon. A
Han Jacinto Victory.
Brownsville, Oct. 12. —Some weeks ago I
wrote you that it was impossible for the northern
faction in Mexico long to sustain themselves in
opposition to a government having its head quar
ters about the city of Mexico and sustained by the
Catholic clergy. Recent events have verified that
statement.
General Santiago Vidaurriis emphatically whip
ped out and used up ! Yidaurri —after having en
tered the city of San Luis Potosi without opposi
tion, and about which so much was said, findinfi
that the presence of his army was obnoxious to the
citizens, retreated from the city to the Hacienda
“La Parada,” about eight leaguee from San
Luis. v
On the 26th September, Gen. Miramon sent u
detachment of 1,300 men to reconnoitre his camp,
with orders to fall back in the event of an attack.
On the 28th he sent out a large detachment, with
similar instructions; and after having made him
self thoroughly acquainted with Yidaurri’s strength
and position, on the morning of the 29th prepared
for a general attack. His army consists of 11,000
men, officered by the best men in Mexico. Having
determined to make the attack with the bayonet
and lance alone, he detailed 3,000 men to retain
as a guard for the artillery and military stores. —
He then ordered 3,000 lancers to take positions on
the right and left wing of Vidaurri’s army, at safe
distances, and hold themselves in readiness to cut
off the fugitives in the event of a rout. Placing 1
himself at the head of 5,000 infantry and cavalry,
he moved toward the camp of Viduarri.
So soon as silence was restored the bugles sound
en, and thearmy advanced with fixed bayonets
and lance, orders having been given for not a mus
ket to be fired until the batteries should he taken.
As the attacking armies advanced, Vidaurri’s gun
ners were distin tly seen holding in their hands
their lighted port fires, awaiting the order of their
commanders ; hut the army of Mexico steadily
advanced. When within 200 yards of Vidaurri’s
lines the order to fire was given, and 60 pieces of
cannon and 8,000 small arms belched forth their
murderous hail upon the assailants. In an instant,
and before the troops had time to waver, the order
to charge rang down the line from the sharp voice
of Gen. Miramon; the order was obeyed, and be
fore the artillerymen could reload their pieces, a
large portion of them were lanced at their guns,
and tho batteries were taken. Simultaneously
Miramon’s infanty had fallen upon Yidaurri’s vol
untaries with their bayonets with such fury as
was irresistible. Lances and bayonets were clott
ed with blood, while bullets pierced the frighten
ed fugitives. Footmen were trampled under tho
feet of tho cavalry that had been posted upon the
right and left of Yidaurri, and many of them lanc
ed.
Tne plain to the north and east of the Hacienda
was covered with fugitives, flying towards the
mountains, almost breathless, from the impetuous
lancer os.
It was a San Jacinto victory ; 500 are reported
killed; 1,100 wounded—one-half upposed to be
mortally; 2,000 taken prisoners; the balance mado
their escape into the mountains, with the excep
tion of about 250, mostly officers, who escaped
with General Yidaurri.
The victors took 560 mules and horses, 320 wa
gons, 60 pieces of artillery, 90,000 pound of am
munition, besides muskets, and the usual amount
of camp equipage.
General Yidaurri, in an express to Monterey,
wrote, “ All is lost,” which, being interpreted,
means that he will no longer handle the public
revenue.
Our Affairs with Mexico.
Despatches under date of Vera Cruz, October
17, have been received at the Navy Department,
from Commander J. A. Dahlgren, in command of
the sloop-of-war Plymouth, gixing the particulars
of the visit of that vessel to Tampico, and of an
interview with President Juarez at Vera Cruz.
The Plymouth arrived at Tampico on the 3d ul
timo. Commander Dahlgren immediately com
municated with Mr. Chase, the American consul,
who gave him copies of affidavits by Victor Bas
tion and Christian Herman Schultz, citizens of the
United States. Bastion declares that “on the first
day of October he was arrested by an officer of the
constitutional army, who conducted him to the
commissariat, where a peremptory demand ‘“as
made upon him for the immediate payment of
$2,000, as a forced loan; that he refused to pay it,
and that the officer then escorted him by force to
the military barracks, where he was incarcerated,
and remained until coerced to satisfy the said un
just exaction.”
Mr. Schultz had imported a quantity of mer
chandise valued at over $12,000. The merchan
dise was seized by the authorities of the central
Government, arid a demand made upon Schultz
for the payment of duties a second time to that
party. This Schultz protests against as in viola -
tion of the existing treaties between tho United
States and Mexico.
Commander Dahlgren had an interview with
Gov. Garza, of Tampico, who assumed the respon
sibility for the forced loan upon Bastion, saying
that he was ready to make indemnity to him for
the injury done. In reply to inquiries Gov. Gar
za said that he had a great disinclination to prac
tice similar molestations upon citizens of the Uni
ted States, but necessity might compel him to re
sort to like contributions on all merchants, in
which those of the United States would, of course,
be included. Commander Dahlgren remonstrated
against the propriety of this course, and remind
ed Governor Garza that the United States Govern
ment had fully approved of the course of Mr. For
syth in resisting similar exactions upon American
residents at the city of Mexico ; and that a con
tinuance of such course would endanger the friend
ly relations between the two countries. Governor
Garza would bind himself to nothing further, but j
promised to write to his Government, that of Jua
rez, for more particular instructions.
Under date of the 17th of October, at Vera
Cruz, Commander Dahlgren gives the particulars
of au interview with President Juarez, relative to I
the complaints of Bastien and Schultz, at Tampi- ]
co. After detailing the case of the first, President i
Juarez declared “that, the practice (of levying
forced loans) was improper, and should not be
continued, and that he would so instruct Govern
or Garza by the next British packet.” Of the case
of Schultz he had no information. President Ju
arez exhibited every disposition to prevent our |
citizens from being subjected to improper annoy- ;
ances, and repeated his desire to sustain the best I
understanding with the United States.— Wash

Practical Jokring. —ln a certain flourishing
Tillage down Eastward, where flourishes a literary
institution, a gentleman took one of a family of in
fant puppies, and gaining entrance into a neigh
bors house before the folks were wide awake j
enough to know what he was about, chucked the ■
little creature among a litter of kittens of like ten
der age. Puss made no distinction betweeu the
stranger and her own offspring, and he on his part
took kindly and confidingly to his new nurse.—
Great was the astonishment of the household when
it was discovered (as they supposed) that, their cat I
was the dam of a puppy. The news of so porten
tous a birth spread over town like wildfire. Peo
ple came in flocks to sec the sight. The fortunate
possessor was offered $5 for the little monster hut
declared that he would not part with it for five
hundred. That the ease might not fail of due au
thentication, two physicians of the first respecta
bility were summoned to inspect and report upon
it They jointly and severally scrutinized the ani
mal, and found that it was certainly a puppy, hav
ing all the characteristics of the dog race except
the paws. These were pronounced to resemble
cat’s claws. The perpetrator of the joke couldn’t
hold in any longer. The cat was out of the bag
in a twinkßag, and if the doctors outlive the mem
ory of their essay in comparative zoology they
will be more loeky than most victims of a

Reduction of Telegraph Rates. —This vo
duction reminds us of the story of the man and
the Indian, who, after a day’s hunting, determin
ed to divide their game, which consisted of a fine
wild turkey and a very undesirable buzzard. ‘‘You,
Mr. Indian,” said the white man, “can either take
the buzzard and leave me the turkey, or I will
take the turkey and leave you the buzzard.” To
which the Inkian replied, “Mister white man, you
do not say turkey come to Indian either time.”
The fact is the reduction of the telegraph tolls
by the Magnetic Company has been caused by the
competing lines between Washington and New
York ; and as there is no competing line between
Washington and Augusta, or Charleston, or Sa
vannah. or on to New Orleans, the Magnetic Tele
graph Company does not say “turkey” to the
South at all.
It is not improbable, however, that one of these
days another line will be erected in our region,
when we hope to have a chance at the “turkey.”

(iermau Cotton Manufactures.
A letter, of the lltli ult., from Bremen to the
London Cotton Plant says :
On the first of this year there were within the
limits of the Zollvercin, embracing Bavaria, Sax
ony, Prussia, Baden, Wu item berg, Hanover and
Oldenburg, 196 mills in operation, running 1,534,-
146 spindles, consuming per year 121,000 bales of
North American, and 64,900 bales of other quali
ties of cotton, making a total consumption of 185,-
950 halos.
It is calculated that during the present year
there will be twelve mills, running 484,000 spin
dles, added to the above, which will consume at
least. 51,000 bales of cotton of all kinds. The
whole demand thus created will be about 236,000
bales per year.
Besides this, Switzerland and Bohemia, not re
ally embraced within the limits already specified,
have in operation 99 mills, running 655,000 spin
dles, and consuming in all about 42,000 bales of
cotton.
A statement just published in the Handclsblatt,
or commercial paper of this city, shows that up to
the first of this month the total amount of cotton
imported this year is 33,960.161 pounds, as against
33,113,388 pounds imported during the whole of
last year.
This shows a large increase in the trade as com
pared with last year, and proves that the disas
trous effects of the crisis of last autumn has had
but little effect upon this important trade at this
point.
The demaud for the better qualities, especially
middling and good middling, have been active for
the past month, and prices have somewhat im
proved. Some 6000 bales have gone forward
within the past fortnight, principally United
States, leaving probably in hand of low grades
North American and East Indian, in first hands,
not much over 3000 bales, exclusive of some 2500
bales United States afloat and to arrive.
Never, perhaps, since cotton has become a lead
ing article of commerce at this port, has the stock
been so low as at present. The state of the mar
ket, 1 have lesson to believe, has induced heavy
orders to the other side, which will be filled in a
great measure, 1 presume, from the new crop; so
that in the course of the last two months of this
year a heavy importation may be looked for, suf
ficient, I believe, at all events, to run the total
import from the United States for 1858 fully up
to, if not beyond, 200,000 bales.
Report of the City Physician.
Council Chamber, Nov. Sth. 1858. j
To the Honorable Mayor and Council :
Gentlemen—The City Physician regrets to re
port that some unnecessary apprehension exists in
a particular portion of our City, in regard to a
serious type of fever, approximating yellow fever
in its symptoms and results. After a thorough
examination into the causes of these rumors, he is i
certain they have been much exaggerated, and is !
fully satisfied no just cause exists for alarm.
The portion of our city where these cases have
occurred is now being thoroughly renovated, and
from the lateness of the season, and the cool wea
ther we are now having, and from other causes of
exemption, he feels safe in saying that there is not
the leant danger that it will beeomo epidemic.—
Should such be the case, however, measures will
at once be taken to publish a daily report.
Verv respectfully,
F. C. ELLISON, C. P.
On motion the above report was received and
ordered to be published in the daily papers.

MR. L GORDY-Dear Sir: ° tr
We the undersigned have seen and eaten of;
delicious native Grape, and it affords us much ntc.’
to stale, that we think >.* have never seen a <
that would compare with it in excellence as a nr,,i
bearer, the size of its fruit and bunches, and then
quailed flavor. ’ u “ lll ’
We hope that you may have a stock of growing \
of this valuable Grape sufficient to supnh the !•.?,. ,
maud you will have for them. ‘ ‘ 2 ’ L ’
We recommend those of our friends who vvisl
raise th-s Grape, by all means to purchase vines o fvn!°
as your Grape is, in our opinion, less liable to rot
ripens more uniformly than any other variety ti, 0
have seen. [Signed by] 1 “*

taking Pictures in as good style as they can be taken
in the “Empire State,” either by a foreign or notire nr
tist. His prices range from that much despised sum

pretend to say that he is the best artist in the United

those whose reputation is bolstered up by long adver

themselves. And if those in want of a good Picture
will call and give him a trial, he will convince them
that he fully understands the modus operaiuli of picture
taking. All he wants is a fair aud .impartial .trial, and
he fears no competition from any quarter.
His Gallery is over Barnard’s Store, Broad Street,
where he will be happy to receive visitors and slum
them his specimens at all times.
