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. A Bill Introduced by Hon. K. L. Mott. To be entitled An Act to alter and amend the Char ter of the City of Columbus. Ist. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of Georgia in Gener al Assembly met, and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same, that from and after the pas sage of this act, it shall be lawful for the citizens of the city of Columbus, to elect by general ticket, a Mayor and twelve aldermen, which election shall be held at the Court House in said city, on the second Saturday in December, in each and every yeai*. Provided there shall be two alderman elect ed for and residing in each ward, as now designat ed by law, and provided further, that, each voter shall designate upon his ticket the two persons voted for as aldermen, for each ward, and the two persons in each ward receiving the highest num ber of votes given in, in said city for aldermen of each particular ward shall be declared elected, and said Mayor and Aldermen when so elected shall hold their offices until their successors are elected and qualified. 2d, Be it further enacted, That the Mayor of said city shall have the power and authority to try all persons charged with retailing spirituous li quors within the corporate limits of said city, with out a license, first had and obtained from the said city authorities, as now prescribed by law, also to try any and all persons charged with the commis sion, of the following offences within the corporate limits of said city, to-wit: The selling or furnish ing a slave with spirituous liquors contrary to law, for fighting, malicious mischief, keeping a disorder ly house, the keeping, permitting or maintain ing a nuisance to the annoyance of his, her or their neighbors, and for the petty offences against the health, peace and good order of said city, and upon a hearing and conviction by said Mayor for any of said offences, he shall impose upon the offender such fine for the same as have been or may here after be prescribed by the laws of this State, or the ordinances of said city. And upon the failure of the parties to pay said fine and costs as the same shall be ordered and directed by said Mayor to be paid, then said delinquent may by the order in writing of said Mayor be imprisoned in the city Guard House or in the common Jail of Muscogee county for such term of time as has been or may be prescribed by law for the punishment of such offences. 2d, Be it further enacted, That the Mayor and Council of the city of Columbus shall have the power to establish and keep up one or more public market in said city, for the sale of poultry, eggs, butter, and all other meats and vegetables of any kind, aud all other such articles as are usually rendered at a public in arket, and shall govern the same by such rules and regulations as said Mayor* Council shall deem necessary and proper, and may prescribe and enforce, fines and penalties for a vio lation of market laws and regulations. Provided, however that said Mayor and Council may grant private licenses for the sale of marketable articles, or any of them at a place or places in said city other than the public market upon such terms, reg ulations and control as the said Mayor and Coun cil may adopt. 4th, And be it further enacted, That all laws and parts of laws militating against this act be and the same are hereby repealed. 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. From the Galveston Civilvian. 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 ington States. 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 A’w Bedford (Man,) Meronry, Telegraphic.

Walker and the Administration. Avgusta, Nov. Sth, op. m.—Hen Wm. Walker will leave Washington City for Mobile to-morrow. He is now satisfied that there will be no interfer ence with his emigrating expedition for Nicara gua. [We learned from the Augusta papers that Gen. Wajker had passed through that city several days since, en route for Washington, where he has doubtless bad an interview with the Secrearv of State and convinced that high functionary that his Nicaragua expedition will not be so organized as to make it of an unlawful character. His expedi tion is to start from Mobile some time between the 10th and 20th inst.] 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.” .1 tiff. Constitutionalist. (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.
