COLCMBIS, WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 8, 1858.
How they View It.
Tbe New York Tribune and its Black liepub
iean compeers affect much horror at the failure
of the Grand Jury of Charleston to find bills of
indictment against the officers and crew of the
slaver Echo. We are not acquainted with the
evidenH upon which the action °f the Jufy must
have been founded, but, assuming that it were all
tho Tribune claims —that it clearly proved the
prisoners to be violators of a law of the l nited
. Suites, and justly amenable to its penalty, and
that they forbore its enforcement from respect to
tbe moral sentiment of the Southern people, it
must excite the curiosity of every one to compre
hend how this editorial “higher law” dynasty can
consistently except to it. The basis of any con
demnation in the promises must be the violation, by
the discharged parties, of a written, statute law, for
it is only such thatajury is charged to enforce. Cen
sure upon such ground, however, Air. Greely et id
o„ine genus are estopped from indulging, for the
life-giving principle of their organization is hos
tility to a law of equal sanctity with that of which
a violation is alledged. The recovery of fugitive
slaves is provided for by a law of Congress, nay,
the assertion of the right forms a clause of the
fundamental compact—the constitution itself,’ yet
the political ethics of Greely A Cos., not only re
pudiates this guarantee, but enjoins the reproba
tion of it as a religious duty, and threatens the silly
croakers about plighted faith and constitutional
right with temporal disgrace and eternal wrath. —
The man who rails and grows frantic at the con
duct of his neighbor, while his own life is a daily
illustration, both in principle and circumstance,
of the practice he condemns, excites the sentiment
of contempt or ridicule. We commend to our pious
brethren the scriptural injunction about the
“mote” and “beam.”
Meeting of Congress.
Washington, Dec. (>. —Congress met to-day.—
After organizing, the message ot the President
was read. Senator Gwin gave notice that he
would call up his Pacific Railroad bill to-mor
row.
Senator Hale made one of his characteristic
sarcastic speeches about the message.
In the house the message was read.
The Hon. Wm, L. Dewart, of Pennsylvania,
made an ineffectual effort to introduce a resolution
instructing the committee of Ways and means to
report a Dill to increase the tariff on iron, wool,
<&c., <fcc.
Caution.
On Monday night a rocket was discharged from
somewhere ou Broad street, which, after its pro
jectile force was expended, fell upon the roof of
the warehouse of Messrs, Dillard, Powell & Cos.
The fire remaining on the i’0(l, we learn from Air.
D., was sufficient to melt the solder on the tin.—
Had it. fallen on the acres of cotton within and
without the warehouse, the damage might have
been immense. This circumstance should bean
admonition to those who deal in fire-works, to be
careful what direction they give to these mimic
meteors.

much addicted to intemperance, and it is supposed
he threw himself into the well while laboring un

Codification of thk Laws.— An Act to pro
vide for the Codification of the Laws of Georgia
passed the House on Wednesday last. This Act,
according to the Federal Union, provides, That
on Friday, December 10th, 1858, the General As
sembly of Georgia shall elect three commission
ers to codify the laws, which code shall embrace
all the laws in force, whether derived from stat
utes. common law, decisions of Supreme Court, or
constitutional provisions, and shall be modelled
upon the Code of Alabama. Commissioners to
have an adequate compensation, and to report to
the Legislature of 1861, and, when adopted the
code shall supercede all other laws of every de
scription.
Another Paxment from the State Road.—
The Federal Union of Saturday is informed that
the Treasurer of the State Road has paid over to
the State Treasurer $25,000 as the net earnings of
the State Road for the month of November.
Synopsis of the President's Message.
Washington, Dee. 6.—The President com
mences his message by congratulating the coun
try on the contrast of the agitation which exis
ted in Kansas only one year ago, with the peace
and quiet which now prevails.
The President refers to the Leeompton consti
tution, and re-affirms bis former positions on that
subject. He thinks if Kansas had been admitted
with that Constitution, the same quiet would have
been restored at an earlier day. Being, however,
perfectly willing to acquiesce in any other con
stitutional mode of settlement, he signed the
English bill: and expresses the opinion that when
Kansas again applies for admission as a State, she
will have the number of population required by
that bill.
He goes at length into a discussion of the ques
tions involved in the admision of new States and
recommends the passage of a general law, by
which no new State shall be admitted unless she
has a population sufficient to entitle her to one
Representative.
The President congratulates Congress on the
settlement of our Utah difficulties without the ef
fusion of blood.
He compliments the conduct of the officers of
the army in Utah, aud expresses satisfation at the
course pursued by Gov. Alfred Cumming, and
honorably mentions Col. Kane.
In relation to the treaties recently made between
this country and the government of China, and
Japan, the President considers, particularly in the
case of China, that our neutral policy contributed
much in our favor. Both treaties, he says, will
prove of great importance to the trade and com
merce of this country.
He congratulates the country on the abandon
ment of the right of search, on the part of Great
Britain.
In reference to Central American affairs, he
says that negotiations are still progressing, and he
has not yet abandoned all hopes of success. He
refers to what he stated in h’s message last year
to Congress, and in that connection states that his
views on the subject of the Isthmus routes accord
with the policy heretofore announced by Secretary
Cass. His object only is to keep the routes open,
and desires no other privileges for the United
Htates than we shall expect other nations to enjoy.
But ibis government will not consent that those
Isthmus routes shall be closed by the imbeeiliti
of nations which reside near them.
The President regrets that the Nicaragua route
has been closed, and refers to the necessity of en
forcing our claims against Nicaragua and Costa
Rica. •
Mexico, the President says, is in a condition of
civil war, and scarcely any hope exists of her res
toration to a permanent government. He refers
to the causes which led to a rupture of our diplo
matic relations with Mexico, and awards a hand
some compliment to the Hon. John Forsyth for
his services as Aliuister there.
If it were not for the mere hope of obtaining
justice from the liberal party in Mexico —a party
which now appears to be approaching to power—
the President says he would recommend taking
possession of such portion of that country, as
would prove a sufficient indemnity to us for all our
claims and grievances.
In North Alexico, bordering on our Territory
there are other considerations which claim our
attention. We are interested in the peace of that
section. In that neighborhood preside lawless In
dians, who enter our settlements in L Arazona, and
there seems no other way that this trouble or
difficulty can be removed, than by establishing
military posts in Sonora and Chihuahua. He re
commends that this be done, regarding Alexico
as in a state of imbecility and anarchy.
As to Spain, the President refers to the causes
which delayed the appointment of a successor to
the Hon. A. C. Dodge, former Envoy Extraordi
nary and Minister Plenipotentiary, and says that
Mr. P iieston, his successor, will go out with full
powers to settle all difficulties with Spain as soon
as possible.
The President says that Cuba ought to belong
to this country: and recommends that steps be
taken for its purchase. As we have acquired all
new territory by honorable negotiation, this should
not be an exception.
In regard to the tariff laws, the President re
affiins his former opinion in favor of specific duties
on certain articles, and submits the whole ques
tion to the enlightened consideration of Con
gress.
The President calls attention to the proposed
Pacific railroad, and I’efers to the success of the
overland mails as showing the practicability of
the route.
Among other subjects the President reitei’ates
his former recommendation to establish a Territo
rial government in Arizona.

Pass Him Round.
Our editorial contemporaries, far and near may
perhaps prevent crime and misfortune, and aid
the cause of justice, by copying or making a
note of the subjoined;
During last summer a person calling himself
James W. Geary, came to this place from Orange
Spring, East Florida, and passed some three
or four months in this region. He had previous
ly formed a casual acquaintance with an estima
ble young lady of this place in East Florida,
where nothing was known to his prejudice, and
after prosecuting his suit here some months, and
satisfying her friends of his respectability and
wealth, succeeded in marrying her. While here
he effected a contract for the purchase of Orange
Spring and Hotel in East Florida, and represent
ed that after a somewhat roving life and a suc
cessful quest of fortune in California, ho had de
termined to locate there for the remainder of his
life. He advertised bis Hotel, had a considerable
amount of printing dope, and ordered supplies for
it from Savannah. About three weeks ago he
took his departure, leaving orders on his brother
in-law to pay his bills, and procured his endorse
ment to drafts on New York, amounting to 1800
dollars, which he cashed at the Manufacturer’s
Bank. After he had gone, “doubts were sugges
ted by the bank, and a telegram to New York was
answered “no account with James W. Geary.”—
He was followed to Savannah—affected great
surprise at the answer—said there must be a mis
take. More telegraphing was had with no satis
factory result—and meanwhile he dodged by
way of Thunderbolt, escaped by the Florida
boat, having sent forward his wife and servants
by a previous steamer to Orange Spring. While in
Savannah, he had made rchases for
emnr,* * <.extensive .jn-Wth that
fie had lost the ceritificate. He left the Florida
boat at Fernandina, and has been tracked over a
devious route, under different names, up into Sou
thern Georgia to Tliomasville, where he entered
himself McGary, and collected again from an
agency, with the certificate of deposit*, the SSOO
he had obtained from the Mother Bank in Sav
annah on oath that he bad lost the certificate: and
after sundry other pecuniary villainies, he is tra
ced up to Fort Valley, on the South-Wfcstern Rail
Road, where he is lost sight of.
Brevity does not permit mentioning half of
Geary’s villainies—even to robbing the children.
He is undoubtedly one of the most incorrigible
villains alive.
Geary, who was often in the office during
his sojourn in Macon, is about 5 feet 9 inches high,
stout, wore a heavy beard, very black and a
luxuriant crop of hair, both of which were dyed.
He had a scar on his forehead, another, we are
told, in the back of liis head, and a third on bis
left shoulder. Vv r e suppose him to be about thirty
five years of age. His complexion is light, his
conversation prompt and intelligent; appearance
that of a gentleman. He wears eye-glasses in
reading.
[From the London Post, Nov. 19,]
Central American Affairs,
By the last mail from America we learn that
Mr. Buchanan has once more issued a proclama
tion warning all American citizens from joining
the fillibustering expedition “preparing against
Nicaragua under Gen. Walker,” and enjoining the
officers of the Government to use vigilance in re
pressing these illegal enterprises.
That Walker is again collecting money and
men for the purpose of invading Nicaragua, is a
a matter which the President’s proclamation suf
ficiently proves. There must, therefore, be legal
evidence of some contemplated offence: and
though it is perfectly right that all accomplices
should be warned by the Federal Government,
yet a more complete and effectual termination
would be put to the conspiracy if its chief mover
were at once arrested and placed upon his trial for
the misdemeanor of levying war against a country
with which the United States are at peace. ‘ But
Walker appears, from some cause or other, to en
joy immunity. When recently seized and brought
home by Commodore Paulding, he was simply
held to bail, and then suffered to go at large, whilst
the gallant officer was reprimanded and superse
ded. F
This affords a curious specimen of Mr. Buchan
an’s notions of justice. A pirate may invade the
territories of a friendly Power, but a United States
officer may not land upon that territory for the
purpose of breaking up a nest of freebooters, be
cause sueh a step involved a nominal violation of
the territorial sovereignty of Nicaragua. The
Br’tish Admiral on the North American station
has received orders to look out for Walker, who,
it may be hoped, will now find himself less secure
upon sea than when ostentatiously conspiring at
Washington, New York, or New Orleans. It can
hardly be conceived that Mr. Buchanan desires to
see the Central American republics kept in a state
of perpetual alarm and irritation ; but it is unfor
tunately true that many persons in the United
States sympathize with Walker, and thus create a
kind of degraded public feeling, which the Pres
ident, not otherwise popular, is afraid to of
fend.
We hear also that the English and French Gov
ernments have addressed a formal note to the
United States Government, announcing their de
termination to enforce the provisions of the Clay
ton Bulwer treaty, “as understood by them, in
protecting the company organized by M. Belly for
the construction of the interoceanic railroad across
the Isthmus of Nicaragua.” This intelligence if
CO vs ect ” sim Ply means that the neutrality of the
route must be secured for the benefit of the com
merce of the world. General convenience dic
tates that every interoceanic route across the Isth- I
mus, from. Panama to_ Tehauntepee, should bepla
ced under the protection of the great European I
Powers and of the Unitrd States ; and miserable
indeed must be that policy which has for its ob
ject the unjustifiable and selfish enforcement of the
Alonroe doctrine, as a prelude to the extension of
the curse of slavery, The joint action of England
and France, in tb( manner stated by our Ameri
can cotemporary, would, we ate persuaded, go far
to settle the questions which hitherto have com
pletely defied tho separate offers of English and
American diplomacy.
We may mention another item of news which
the mail has brought. The Spanish authorities,
it appears, at Cuba, were, at the date of the last
advices fitting out an expedition against Mexico, •
not to recover the empire which Cortez conquered :
for the most Catholic Crown, but to demand re- ;
dress for gross outrages which, at Tampico and
other places, had been committed upon Spanish
subjects. England has the same demand lo make
on behalf of her subjects : and yet up to the pres
ent moment nobody in this country knows wheth
er even a remonstrance has been addressed to the
persons who now hold temporary posession of
power in the ever-revolutionary Republic of Mcx
ico. _
To the Cotton Growers of Georgia.
And their Representatives at Milledgeville.
The Iron products of Pennsylvania are annual
ly $22,000,000.
This employs the capital of $5,000,000. It al
so gives employment and subsistence to 5,000
working-men and as many more women and chil
dren,
The Cotton crop of Georgia is estimated at
$25,000,000.
The capital einplojed in Cotton making in
Georgia, estimating 4 bales per hand, and $lO per
acre for the land, and other things in proportion,
is $50,000,000 for land, stock, Ac., $60,000,000 for
negroes making $110,000,000.
This employs 125,000 negroes, besides owners,
overseers, Ac.
The Iron crop of Pennsylvania, annually em
ploying a capital of $5,000,000, and 5,000 men to
work it, is nearly equal to the entire crop of Cot
ton in Georgia; employing a capital of sllO,-
000,000 and 125,000 hands.
Cherokee Georgia has Iron resources equal to
Peonsylvania and physical resources to develope
them. If developed, Cherokee Georgia would
make products nearly equal in value to the Cotton
products of tl c State.
Without the Rail Road, it cannot be developed.
The difference to Georgia would be millions of
Iron products besides those of tho Farm, the
Orchard, the Garden and the Dairy, for export,
where she now imports, and pays for out of the
Cotton crop. The Statesman woo would antici
pate the grand spectacle, may sum up the items,
fill out the picture, and gaze with admiration.
The difference to the W. ,t. A. Rail Road,
would be, the addition of freights from a Rail
Road traversing the Iron region of Etowah Val
ley, equal to all the way stations besides, put to
gether. This is true, because four miles of this
Road, just completed, now puts on and receives
from the State Road, more freight than is received
at any other Depot, and as much as ten of the
smaller depots put together, (See Dr. Lew is’ Re
port.)
Georgia now imports millions of dollars worth
of Iron and Iron products : millions also of pro
ducts of the Farm, Orchard, Garden and Dairy.
The Cotton pays for it.
Alake the Iron, Steel, <fco. at home, as may be
done, and she saves millions for investment in
stead of spending it. She adds to her taxable re
sources, instead of paying tribute to others. She
increases her population, and retains men who
would leave her. She multiplies strong arms and
stout hearts for her defense, instead of feeding
and enriching those who habitually abuse and re
vile her.
Without this policy, what has she in prospect
but worn out soil and decaying institutions?
Where are her means of defense ? They are in
Cotton hales and negroos. Their lungs and their
tongues—they are in pen, ink and paper.
What is her resort but submission uncondition
al? What Nation of People ever did otherwise
than submit, who were fed and clothed by others,
and were even dependent on their oppressors for
pruning hooks, as well as their swords, their
guns and their powder ? Who could fail to love
and respect the hand of the people who, in addi
tion to all this, sells ns our beef, our hay, our but
ter and cheese, our potatoes, onious and cabba
* uuiu it uui ue wise to avail ourseives ot tins
amiable trait of human character and afford it a
chance for exercise towards our mountain popu
lation ?
The cotton planters may answer! A word to the
wise is sufficient.
The Statistics*of Iron and its products considerd
relatively in regard to the South and the North are
equally interesting.
Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia,
Alabama, Tennessee and Arkansas, (saying noth
ing of the vast resources of Texas,) have Iron Ore,
equal in quality and more abundant, than all the
Northern States together.
There are made in the United States, about
800,000 tons of Iron, which costs the consumers
$60,000,000. This much, and 500,000 tons more
of foreign Iron, is consumed in the U. S, A to
tal of 1,300,000 tons consumed, at cost to the
consumers 01^97,500,000, Of this, there is con
sumed in the Southern States nearly one half,
40,000,000 worth, The produce comparatively
but little, suppose $10,000,000 worth. This ieaves
$30,000,000 to be annually paid hy the South for
Iron, made by others.
It is paid out of the cotton crop directly or indi
rectly,
The cotton crop is equal to $150,000,000. Of
this $30,000,000 goes to pay for Iron. How much
more is paid forjhay, butter, cheese, beef, apples,
potatoes, cabbages, onions, garden seeds and
flower-roots, the merchants can tell. And all of
this is paid by the South, w 7 ith better resources
than the North, serving to insure our dependence,
to make us love, respect and submit to the North,
whilst we feel anything but respect, regard or in
terest in or for our mountains and all that there
in are.
Annually, for thirty years, has the South by
its best bred gentlemen and ladies, in their rich
est costume —hat in hand —called on the North,
leaving their cards.
For thirty years these calls have not been re
turned. Year after year we ring their parlor bells
and leave our visiting cards - —They print our
cards and make our bells—whilst we pay for * the
cards and bells—and ring ourselves. But the
calls are not returned. What we get in return
I every one knows.
At home, if we call on a neighbor and he does
not return it, self-respect forbids a second call,—
For our Northern neighbors we swallow our self
respect and repeat the call, and get our clothes
and our food, our offices and titles of Honor on
their own terms.
“If our statesmen are wise, they will stimulate
the products of our Farms, our* Orchards, Gar
dens and Daries—if not of the Iron and Mineral
regions. The Cotton Planter is interested in
these matters and will reflect. Respectfully.’
