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. D\ u iv>v. viv A HTVTvrvn ~\J- T i in li or twelve a printer by occupation . RecorderOttlCe at Milledgeville, disappeared Tuesday night last, and after diligent search no trace of him could be discovered. Late Saturday afternoon, his body was discovered in a well, in the street, nearly op posite the office. Air. B. had been fox some time, much addicted to intemperance, and it is supposed he threw himself into the well while laboring un der mania from that cause. He was about thirty five years of age, and left no family. 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. From the Georgia Telegraph. 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.’ MARK A. COOPER The State of Texas has granted forty-four charters to railroad companies, of which seventeen have been forfeited, leaving twenty-seven charters still in force. Of these, eleven are in progress of construction, with an aggregate length when completed of 2,223 miles. J\eio I ork Chamber of Commerce. —The regu lar monthly meeting of the Chamber of Com merce took place on Thursday, at which a letter was submitted from Mr. Secretary Cobb, upon the subject of the reciprocity of a treaty with Canada in flour; he decides that wheat must be the growth of Canada in order to come with the free list. A report on the subject of employing steam on the canals was adopted, strongly in fa vor of the movement. The subject of collisions at sea came up in the shape of a communication trom the Philadelphia Board of Trade, and mea sures were taken to memorialize Congress upon the subject, to secure proper international regula tions which should be just to all concerned.
