It 18 with pain that we have to announce the death of Col. Win. 11. Harper, an old and esteem ed friend. He died in his room at the Ogle thorpe House, after an illness of long duration, which, though it did not continually confine him to his room, had exhibited for some time a chronic obstinacy that prevented his friends indulging hopes of his recovery. His complaint was chronic diarrhoea of a complicated natuio. Col. H. had been a resident of Columbus ever since it could he called a city, and always enjoyed the confidence and respect of our citizens, which was his due as well on account of his integrity as an extensive business man. as t>v his engaging social qualities, sound judgment and varied in for mation. Many circles have long lamented his absence on account of ill health, and will now sin cerely regret that he is lost to them forever on this earth. — Enquirer.

Editors: I am a traveler, and in justice to the accommodation and convenience of the traveling public, allow me a line in your paper. To passengers going West, this is llic regular breakfast and supper house, and dinner to those traveling East, (and not Columbus, as many erro neously supposs) and yet, time is not given to the hungry traveler to appease his appetite, although sufficient, ample time is allowed by the schedule, even to a Falstaff engineer. Why is it ? Let the “knowing ones” answer ; this matter should be rectified and at once, for not only is it an imposi tion, a physical derangement, and mental annoy ance to the traveler, who arrives here “hungry as a wolf,” but it is a sore inconvenience and loss to our good host Sledge, who makes abundant pre parations and gives good Aire. This place has had a bad name and deservedly so, but as a passer-by. I cannot but notice the great improvements since my last visit, both in business and morals; formerly it was the resort of many low, vulgar and degraded characters—hap py the reform since that day, in the public morals, dignity and of its people ; now there arc several schools and churches under bright and happy ! auspices, good stocks of groceries, dry goods and drugs, several new brick stores and elegant resi dences are being erected, the improvements are not springing up like a mushroom,but are gradual, 1 onward, occurring as the wants and necessities of the people demand, and who knows but on my next \ isit. I may sec Opelika ranked among cities, i I will, in my travels, drop you a line occasionally, j and m.i\ again have to revert to impositions, ; which I think it is due the traveling community j should know. Respectfully yours, A TRAVELER. Telegraphic Transmission.—lt is an impor tant fact in connection with the science of ocean telegraphing, that the velocity is not determine! >y the force and intensity of the electric current, nor by the thickness of the wire-these conditions only modify the law which determines the velo city of propagation. It is known that Professor Wheatstone sent a current through a brass wire 4he twelfth of an inch in diameter, with a velocity of 28,000 miles per second. ss on d So that conductor* made of different# < ” 4 - “ , ..r„,ereut of wire, do < ion with ocean cables will be one of velocity am* hawpi*. not of power. 4 j Horace Bell, ’whose and imprisonment by"the Kentuckians excited so much indignation in Southern ludiana a short time since, has turned the current ofrpopular feeling against himself, by paying his addresses to a young lady ot Cory don, against her will, and attempting to kill her friends who remonstrated with him. The Inlied Mates and Mexico. One of the most important subjects on which the National Legislature will have to deliberate at their approaching session, and to which t ien attention will doubtless be drawn by .he l resi dent in bis annual Message, is the state oi our re ; lotion® with Mexico. „ ! ‘ Were there anything approaching to a respon sible government in that country, or-were there any reasonable probability of the establishment of a government there which would possess any ol the attributes of stability or have the will, e'en 1 it had the power, to act justly, we might m the ordinary wav of diplomatic negotiation, hope to obtain satisfaction for zens, and an equitable adjustment oi their claims. , We might also insist that foreign nations, which, . 1 like ourselves, are in the position of remonstrant creditors, should exercise forbearance, and ex haust all peaceful measures before resorting to compulsion. But in the present state of affairs in Mexico, where anarchy, spoliation and crime have taken the place of good government, hones ty and social order, we cannot obtain redress lor outrages by negotiation, because there is no gov ernment with which to negotiate. Other nations, whose claims on Mexico are as just aud urgent as our own, are in a similar predicament. In this dilemma, the President, whose constitu tional powers become exhausted, when bis minis ter had no longer any government in Mexico with winch he could treat, will now submit the matter with all the facts and information he possess, to Congress, and it will be for that body to adopt the recommendations of the Executive, or propose some other and better plan, for the execution of which it w ill confer the requisite powers upon the President. ’Congress having refused at the close ofthe last session to adopt the resolution present ed by Senator Gwin, which proposed to invest the President with full authority to adjust all our out standing difficulties with Spanish America as to him might seem best, it was not in the power of Mr. Buchanan to tako one step more than he has taken, without the authority of Congress. The time is now at band when that authority will be invoked. Public sentiment is not agreed on the question how the United States ought to propose to settle the difficulty so as to secure our own rights without losing sight of those acknowledged prin ciples and that approved policy, by which our government has been guided in its relations with the lesser States of this continent. By some it is urged that the best course for the United States to pursue is, to assume a protecto rate over the republic of Mexico, such as has been proposed by General Houston. To this we are opposed, because we believe it would entail upon us all the difficulties ancl responsibilities of the government of Mexico, without investing us with the necessary authority to enforce our views, and control those to whom the executive pdwer would be entrusted. It would tend to promote instead of obviating disputes between us and Mexico, and so far as other nations are concerned, would make us, to a certain extent, answerable for the acts of the Mexican Government, while in reality wo should be powerless to do more than advise and direct, provided our protectorate did not amount to an absolute assumption of the government, tYiftVh expensive, and By others it is recommended that the United States should use their influence, —their power, if necessary,—to assist someone of the rival fac tious in establishing a government on the firm and durable basis, which should henceforth be sustained against all other opposing factions, and with which we, and other powers, could treat for the adjustment of our and their claims. But the present condition of Mexico forbids the hope that this course would lead to the desired result. Par ties in Mexico are so torn and divided ; the lead ers arc so unscrupulous and selfishly rapacious, * the people so utterly demoralized and dead to patriotism and international duty, that it would appear to be a task of more than herculean pro portions to set up and sustain in power any one of the factions which arc now wasting the energies of their country in a selfish struggle for the up per hand, as a means of self-aggrandizement— not the welfare of the Republic. Juarez, and his so-called “liberals,” arc the best of the rival par ties ; but do they possess the elements of success ; or has their conduct been such as to prove them to be worthy of sustaining it ? Truth obliges us to answer in the negative. The military occupation by the United States of the Northern provinces of Mexico, including Sonora, Chihuahua, Durango, New Leon, and Tamaulipas, as security for our claims, as a hos tage for the satisfaction of the claims of other na tions, and as an offset for our demand for their non-interference, is another course that has been suggested, but is in our opinion open to serious objections. To promote peace and order, and enable Mexico to regenerate herself, we might purchase (if there is any power in Mexico compe tent to sell) the sparsely populated portions of the country, and out of the purchase money, deduct our own claims and those of the most clamorous of her other creditors, although we certainly do not want, for the present at least, any more terri tory than we possess. A people so entirely dis- , similar to our own in character and tastes as the i Mexicans are, would be a very undesirable acqui- j sition, until a long course of training under stable I free institutions, bad qualified them for associa- j j tion with us. Eventually, and at no distant day ; perhaps, we may, by the force of circumstances, ; be compelled to annex portions of Mexico to the ! United States ; but it would be a great misfortune i it that necessity should be precipitated upon us. The fruit will fall into our hand when ripe: but until then, its attempted possession may be at- i tended with very serious evils. Prudence, for bearance, and a determination to avoid all armed interference , unless driven to it by the direct neces- S1 > ‘’ ; trust, actuate our public couusels, and lead to wise and philanthropic results. Xew York Journal of Commerce. Senator Hammond's Speech. “That speech, said one of our most eminent cit izens to-day, a citizen too by the way, who went for Fremont and Freedom in 1856 ! that speech is a tract for the times. It is the right thing at the right time, from the right quarter.” We find this emphatic testimony to the excell i ence of Gov. Hammond’s Barnwell speech, in the letter of a Xew York correspondent of the Char leston News, who is in ecstaeies over the favorable impression which it has made at the North. So it seems that Mr. Hammond has been so fortunate as to secure not only the approbation ofMr. Gree ley, but of ‘an eminent citizen, of Xew York, who went for Fremont and Freedom in 1856. What higher ambition can a Senator from South Caro lina cherish, than to win applause from such un expected quarters ? As Mr. Hammond and the eminent citizen who supported Fremont in 1856. were certainly not together then, some curious people might bepuzzled to know, whether the em inent citizen has become a convert to the doctrines of Mr. Calhoun, which the Senators who represent the state rights democracy of the South generally entertain, or whether the views of Gov. Hammond j have been so modified as to he acceptable to the friends of ‘Fremont and Freedom.’ but o-ood unin quiring national patriots will onlv see in this sud den concordance, new evidence that the South is on ‘rising ground,’ and find it another guaranty of i the perpetuity of the glorious Union * 1 It must be very gratifying to Gov Hammond j and the constituents who placed him in the Senate 1 „„ Account of hi! ! called extreme southern p Vj faVor a t the speech has commanded such g South, North, as well as with those else tUa?

There is no public onterpnz , accomplis hed litical purpose ever sought tt be a u 0 o lie , in without the aid of the press; •> j iave advance of Judge Crittenden, ever seem., thought ofthe interest of the press in the legisla tion of the State. He has introduceed in the pres- ent Legislature, a bill— “To point out the mode of collecting newspaper j accounts; editors .m nod to collect their claims ; ! at the point of ; livery.” Such a bill : manifestly just. Under the pres- j I ent system it s almost impossible for newspaper j proprietors 1 : > collect the amounts due them, be- j cause they a.e distr’ mted among various magis- j trates’ districts, and each subscriber, no matter what his post office, must be hunted up, h ; y; ina g. istrate found out, and suit institute., m a particu lar district, with no one to attend to the creditor’s interests, before there is any possible chance for collecting even a two dollar account. Judge Crit tenden proposes simply to make it obligatory up on newspaper subscribers to answer to the demand of their papers. Say a man lives in Spalding county, no matter what part of it, and fakes his paper at the Griffin post office. Then let him, if he is mean enough not to pay it without, be sued in Griffin, and judgment obtained against him there. Then, if lie objects on the ground that he has paid, he can produce his receipt; or if he says he has not received the paper, the post mas ter is these to testify. Besides, responsible men will be willing to undertake the collection of news paper accounts, under such a law, where they now refuse to. —Independent South. From the Augusta Dispatch. The Culture of Cotton. The statesmen of England and the spinners of Manchester are unrelaxing in their efforts to render themselves independent of Amer ica for cotton. The great bond of peace between England and [America, says the Rich mond Dispatch, is that which the cotton fields of the South afford. Viewed simply as a bulwark of defence against European aggression, the cotton bales of the South are as effectual as a standing army of live hundred thousand men, and a navy as large as that of Great Britain. That country cannot afford to quarrel with us, and would soon er give up every point of controversy that now exists between the two nations, or is likely to arise hereafter, than run the risk of those calamities, constantly increasing consumption of cotton has produced a strong apprehension in England, lest the supply should prove inadequate to the de maud, and has added new energy to the efforts, now making, to become independent of the Amer ican staple. We do not perceive any signs of alarm, or even solicitude, in the South, as to the result of the British experiments. Dr. Livings ton, it is true, represents cotton as being exten sively cultivated in Africa, where the natives raise it for their own use, and an able bodied laborer * can be obtained at from twenty to fifty dollars per annum. But, even if Africa could be brought in to the field, it is not likely that, under the most favorable circumstances, it would lie able for a century to coine, to do more than keep pace with the iucreasing demand of that period. The cot ton fields of our Southern States are as yet only partially worked, and, under the greater skill and experience of Americans, can put all foreign competition at defiance. At one time, remarks the New Orleans Bulletin, it was supposed that India could alone compete with the Southern States; and when, twenty years ago, the British East India Company undertook the experiment of the cultivation of cotton, it was watched with the deepest interest, and the results were looked for with no little solicitude. Something was cer tainly accomplished, but nothing of importance. The total export of cotton from India ill 1835, amounted to 245,000 bales, and in twenty years thereafter, that is, in JSSS, it amounted to double that quantity, It is true the London correspon dent of the National Intelligencer states that the problem of growing cotton in British India, is now completely solved in the affirmative. But, in the opinion of practical American planters, who have visited and resided therefor years, for midable difficulties to this alleged success, will be found in the alternate long periods of wet and dry weather. More recently, Africa has been | thought of as a proper field for the cultivation of ; cotton, and several English merchants have devo- ! ted especial attention to that quarter. Mr. Clegg, I who has been the most active in the matter, says ; that in 1852, only 1,800 pounds of cotton from Africa were brought to Great Britain, whereas in 1857, the amount was 30,000 pounds, and with a i still greater increase for the first five months of | 1858. Another gentleman says, that from Lagos j the shipment of cotton in 1856 was 34,491 lbs. | and in 18,57 was 114,844, while in the same year not less than 500,000 pounds of cotton cloth,of na tive manufacture, were shipped to Brazil. These firgures are small, and are scarcely calculated to attract serious attention. Important from Mexico.

We differ with Mr. Harris in politics, but must add our testimony to his reliability up on all questions affectingthe interests of the South. Few Senators have greater claims to ability than Mr. Harris, aud he is as true to the South as the needle to the po*lc. We care not what political creed he subscribes to, we shall always coincide with him as well as any other Senator who, rising superior to party trammels, battles for the honor and safeguard of the South. Merriwcther should be proud of her gallant Senator ; for though a youth in years, he is indeed a veteran in all that appertains to the welfare of the South. We hope that this resolution may prove the basis upon which a National Armory will be built within the coniines of Georgia. —Lumpkin Palladium The Test of a Goon Husband. —Look at the hole of the latch key on the street door. If paint is not rubbed off - two or three inches round, if the edges are sharp aud clean as when it was first painted, you may be sure that it is a true indi cation of a good husband, who is most regular, and so early as scarcely ever to have occasion to use his latch key; or supposing he does, is so ac curate in his aim as to be able to hit the key-hole the first time of aiming at it. How many hus bands, who go home late, would be able to do the same ? The Test of a Good Young Man. —This test takes pretty nearly the same circle as the above. However, instead of the street door, look at his watch. If the key-hole where it is wound up is bright, and without the smallest marginal note— if there be no scratches, running in a giddy maze around it, such as betray decided marks of fum bling, you may look upon it as a shining mirror of a good young man, whose hand, when he goes to kwhis as Aleady as his conduct has been through the day.— FvnVTi. ° SSU No man knows when, where, or whom he will marry.
