‘COLUMBUS, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1860.
Democratic St ate Convention.
To nomin ite delegates to the Na
tional Democratic Convention at
Charleston, will assemble at Mill
edgeville on the second Wednesday
of March next. By order of the
Executive Committee.
Democracy of Muscogee
Will assemble on Tuesday, the 7th inst., at 12
M. a- the Court House, to appoint delegates to
the Democratic State Convention which assem
bles in Milledgeville on the 2d Wednesday in
Maroh.
The Ball Rolls!—March Convention.
Meetings are being held throughout the State
to send delegates to the March Convention. It
promises to be large and imposing. Only four
teen counties were represented in the December
Convention; more ttan that number have al
ready met and appointed delegates to the coming
Convention. The assembling of this Convention
can alone pour oil upon the troubled waters.—
Surely no good democrat will oppose the resto
ration of tha* harmony, ruthlessly destroyed by
a few, which it is believed will be accomplished
by another Convention. While Mr. Cobb is far
from being tho choice of the Georgia Democracy
for the Presidency, as his extreme union views
are in antagonism with the prevailing sentiment
in the democratic ranks, yet wo disclaim any mo
tive of personal hostility to that distinguished
gentleman in advocating the call of the Executive
Committee for a Democratic Convention. The
democracy are actuated by higher motives, viz .*
union and good feeling among members of the
same party. Hence, the opposition of the demo
cratic press and the people to the December Con
vention, before that Convention was held, and be
fore the motives of its advocates were made known
to the world. But the March Convention is not
opposed by a single democratic press, while it is
urged by the Augusta Constitutionalist, the Sa
vannah Express and Nows; Brunswick Herald,
Albany Patriot. Bainbridge Argus; Americus,
South-Western News, Cuthbert Reporter, Lump
kin Palladium, Griffin Democrat, Ncwnan Ban
ner <fe Sentinel, Lavvrenceville News, Marietta
Advocate, Dalton Times, Cartorsvillo Express,
and Columbus Times.
Military Corps In Crawford, Ala.
We learn that a military corps has been or
ganized in Crawford, Ala., under tho name of
“The Russell Volunteers.” At a company meet
ing held on Monday, January 23d, the following
gentlemen were elected officers :
Benjamin 11. Baker, Captain,
Walter 11. Weems, Ist Lieutenant,
Richard P. Baker, 2d do.
John M. Phil’ps, 3d do.
Robert R. Barnett, Ist Sergeant,
Geo. W. Hooper, 2d do.
Jasper Roquemore, 3d do.
James M. Baker, 4th do.
Thomas D. White, Ist Corporal,
Henry M. Dudley, 21 do.
C. R. Jackson, 3d do.
Thomas Edge, 4th do.
D. B. Waddell, Sec’y and Treasurer.
With many of tho above gentlemen we are ac
quainted, and we congratulate the company upon
the election of such an efficient and intelligent
corps of officers. We learn another fact which
argues well for its success—that the roll of the
company already contains 70 names. This is one
of the gratifying results of the encouragement
recently given by the Legislature of Alabama for
tho organization of Military Companies. The
profession of the Southern Volunteer may soon be
stript of its holiday aspect, and soon become an
active aud important calling, and in view of this
contingency, it is cheering to see tho garb of the
soldier assumed by men who are worthy to wear
it. mmmt
Mr. Pennington— Who Elected Dim ?
The Enquirer says that Mr. Pennington was
elected by the “Republicans and Douglas Demo
crats.” Will it be good enough to tell the people,
how Illinois and Indiana voted and prove its as
sertion ? Will it tell its readers that the three
members from Pennsylvania of the North Ameri
can or Peoples party withdrew their votes from
Mr. Smith, when it was ascertained that their
votes would elect him? Will it tell its readers
that Mr. Briggs of New York, an American, who
had always voted with his brethren of the South,
changed his vote from Smith to Pennington,
thereby electing him ?
SIP. Douglas an A Slavery.
The views of Hon. Stephen A. Douglas, of Il
linois, in relation to slavery in the Territories, is
expressed in the following extract from a recent
speech in the Senate. If will be seen that Mr.
Douglas has no scruples against slavery, and, al
though, far from being a favorite with us, is, to
day a sounder man than the great leader of the
Southern opposition party in the last Presiden
tial contest, to-wit: Millard Fillmore. The lat
ter, in accordance with his known record, thanks
Providence that the issue in Kansas is settled “in
favor of freedom/’ Mr. Douglas says, “he
would like to see the abolitionist who wonld go
and live in a Southern country, that would not
get over his scruples very soon and have a plant
ation as quickly as he could get the money to buy
it” We clip the following extract from Mr.
Douglas’ speech:
I say this: if the people of Kansas want a slave
State, it is their business and not mine; if they
want a free State, they have a right to have it;
and hence, Ido not care, so far as regards my
action, whether they make it a free State or not;
it is none of my business. But the Senator says
he does care, he has a preference between freedom
and slavery. How long would he care if he was
a sugar planter in Louisiana residing on his es
tate, instead of living in Maine? Sir, I hold the
doctrine that a wise statesman will adapt his laws
to the wants, conditions, and interests of the peo
ple to be governed by them. Slavery may be very
essential iu one climate and totally useless in an
other. It I were a citizen of Louisiana I would
vote lor retaining and maintaining slavery, be
cause I believe the good of that people requires

Cherokee Sending Delegates.
The Calhoun Platform publishes a call fora
meeting of the democratic party of Gordon coun
ty to send delegates to the March Convention.—
We understand that the sth Congressional Dis
trict will be well represented. Primary meetings
are being called in the several counties compos
ing in Cherokee wheels into line to promote tLe
harmony and union that should ever character’
ize the Democratic party.
Appropriating Samples. —The Supreme
Court of Appeals, in Virginia, has affirmed the
judgment of the Circuit Court of Richmond,
which decided that inspectors of flour,spirits, cot
ton and other articles of freight, have no right
to retain samples as perquisites of office. The
decision was called out by a suit against a flour
inspector who, it appears, had, in the course of a
few years, accumulated from drafts of flour ta
ken from barrels a quantity valued at several
thousand dollars, including interest.
A Southern Convention. —A resolution has
been introduced into the Virginia Legislature,
and ordered to he printed, recommending that a
Convention of Southern States be held at Atlan
ta, Ga.
fpeSS* A bill has been introduced into the Ohio
Legislature to punish all citizens convicted of
raising military expeditions for tho purpose of
exeating servile insurrections in other States.
Indiana. —The Democratic State Convention
which assembled in Indianapolis, the I2th inst.,
appointed delegates to the Charleston Conven
tion, instructing them by a vote of 265 to 129 to
vote for Stephen A. Douglas as a candidate for
the Presidency.
number of runaway negroes now in
Canada, is estimated at 24,000. They are uni
versally considered a nuisance there—are an idle,
thieving set, and no respectable whites can live
within miles of them. The attention of the Cana
dian Parliament has been called to the matter.
Congressional,
Washington, Feb. 1.
In the Senate to-day, Mr. Fitch, of Indiana,
gained the floor and made a speech on Mr.
Brown’s bill for the protection of slavery in the
Territories. After which the Senate went into
Executive session, and subsequently adjourned.
In the House there were various explanations
by Southern Democrats, relative to their not
wring for Mr. McClernand forJßpeaker. Mr.
Briggs, of New York, changed his vote to Pen
nington. There was necessary to a choice 117.
Mr. Pennington received 118 ;Mr. McClernand 85;
Mr. Gilmer 16; Mr. Smith, and the remainder,
voted scattering.
Messrs. Bocock, of Virginia, and Sherman of
Ohio, conducted Mr. Pennington to the chair.—
Mr. Pennington returned thanks for the honor
conferrod, but made no points worthy of notice.
The House then adjourned until Friday.
Alabama Legislature.
Report of the Committee on the Harper's Ferry
Outrage.
The Committee on Federal Relations, to which
was referred Joint Resolution from the Senate on
the subject of the recent outrages at Harper’s
Ferry, Virginia, have had the subject under con
sideration, and have instructed me to report.—
That in the opinion of this committee, the out
break referred to is but the beginning looked-for
results from teachings of thechurches, press, pub
lic speaking and legislation of certain Northern
States aecelera ed, if by the here
tofore yielding, compromising disposition of the
South. But whether or not as to what has brought
about such a state of things, there could be but
one opinion as to our du;y to meet them in a
proper manner.
This affair was not an insurrection of slaves, as
pretended by the enemies of slavery, but only a
further manifestation of the state of feeling en
gendered among Northern people, where their
leaders have been preaching a crusade against
our institutions which, iu their estimation, justi
fies and sanctifies murder, arson, robbery and re
bellion—a state of feeling which wholly unfits
them for political brotherhood. It is in fact and
in truth, a war made upon the State of Virginia,
not only by those actively engaged therein, but
also by those who, knowing the plot, concealed
the same from the governments of Virginia and
the United States ; and although wholly unsuc
cessful in attempt, is nevertheless conclusive as
to purpose.
The people of the slaveholding States obtained
titles to property in slaves long befoie the Revo
lution and the independence of the several States.
The Constitution (the only union we recognise as
binding,) was formed and intended to protect the
social institutions of all the States. We there
fore do not hold slaves by virtue of any title de
rived from the Constitution; nor would out titles
have been less perfect, had the so called Died
Scott decision never have been made; and inas
much as we obtained the right of self-government
by arms, we should always be ready, if need be
to maintain our rights by arms.
Your Committee recommend no resolution of
complaint, but the passage of such appropriation
bills as will enable the Executive to arm and
equip our citizens for any emergency which may
be brought upon us.
DAVID HUBBARD,
Chairman.
Southern Medical Students.
The secession of Southern Medical Students
from the Northern Medical Colleges, has been
the subject of most unscrupulous ridicule in some
of the Northern Press. Even some .Southern
editors have attempted the questionable labor of
assuring the country, that it was the Quixotic
freak of brainless enthusiasts, whose parents and
guardians would in no wise sanction their course.
They were to be sent right back, in fact. And
we 6upptise, to save these Southern fault finders
a reputation for prophecy, certain Southern jour
nals did announce that large numbers of these
students did actually return and matriculate. In
refutation of this assertion, we quote the follow
ing from a letter addressed to the Richmond En
quirer, dated Richmond, Jan. 17, 1860.
I am authorized to assert that this is not true.
From a thorough investigation of the subject in
stituted with the specific object in view, it has
been definitely ascertained that not one has done
so. There is but one who has returned, and in
justice to him it should be stated that he has
disavowed any intention of remaining longer in
Philadelphia than is requisite to settle definitely
and satisfactorily, business matters of a personal
and private nature. Ail those who left, who
have bad an opportunity of conferring, by letter
or otherwise,with parents, preceptors and friends
(and this number is very large) have received not
only an emphatic, but an enthusiastic endorsa
tion of the course which they pursued. The num
ber reported to have left, has also oeen erroneous
ly stated, and demands correction. This number
certainly reaches, if it docs not exceed, three
hundred. Others are daily following.

A Heavy Fine. —George Walker was fined in
the Police Court of Louisville S6OO for assaulting
a woman some months since. He was remanded
to jail to await his trial before the Criminal Court |
for swindling. If he happens to escat>e the peni- i
tcntiary, the fine above will have to be paid, or i
be can work it out at 7o cents per day at the ;
workhouse. i
LATER FROM EUROPE.
THE
CITY OF MANCHESTER.
New Yoke, Feb. 2.
The steamship City of Manchester from Glas
gow has arrived.
General News.
By telegraph to Queenstown, Ireland, on the
13th, it was rumored that the European Congress
would meet on the 15th ult. It was also rumor
ed that Cardinal Antonelli had resigned, and that
a Commercial Treaty had been concluded between
England and France.
Kents were quoted at sixty-eight to seventy
five.
Bank rates stationary.
AMERICA.
Halifax, Feb. 2.
The steamship America has arrived with later
dates from Liverpool. Sales of cotton for the
week were 800,000 bales. All qualities slightly
declined. Holders were pressing upon the mar
ket at a decline of V& to 3-16. Market closed
steady.
Consols were quoted at 9534-
Later from California.
Arrival of the Overland Mail—The Senatorial
Contest.
St. Louis Jan. 27.—The Overland California
mail has arrived at Malloy Station, the present
terminus of the California Telegraph line, bring
ing dates from San Francisco to the 7t inst., two
days later than was received by the steamer Baltic
at New York.
Public attention was chiefly occupied by the
contest in tho Calif- rnia Legislature, for the
election of a United States Senator in place of
Mr. Broderick.
The contest commenced on the sth inst. and
created much excitement in tho Legislature.
Several ballots were taken on the sth without
effecting an election, although Governor Weller
was the favorite candidate with the best prospect
of an election, there being five candidates before
the Legislature.
The last ballot on the sth resulted as follows :
Wetter 37, Denyer 33, Baldwin 11, Washington
9, McDougal 8.
Much excitement is also being attracted towards
the Pacific Railroad Convention which meets at
Sacramento on the 6th of Feb.
Ihe late storm was very severe along A he Pa
cific Coast, and considerable damage was done to
the shipping.
Business continues inactive, the markets be
ing generally overstocked. Spirituous liquors
were generally firm. Star Candies were quoted
at 20c.
The Charleston Convention. —The West
has appointed delegates to this Convention, Illi
nois held her convention for this purpose on the
4th instant; Ohio on the sth; Kentucky on the
9th; Indiana on the 11th; Minnesota on the 12th,
and Tennessee on the 18th. Os these States, al!
but Tennessee and Kentucky have instructed
their delegates to vote for Douglas. These dele
gates united are 150, about one-fourth of the
whole number.
IJeidseick in America. — r l he New York cor
respondent of the Ph ladelphia Press, reports the
arrival of a noted sportsman of France, in this
country, to visit our great West, in pursuit of
game. The writer says:
The genth man to whom I allude is Mr. Chas.
Heidsieck, whose name on cartridges of a liquid
character is familia. to the generous and thirsty
souls of this land. lie brings with him several
specimens of beautiful and improved arms, and,
as soon as the proper season beckons him on,will
depart on his sanguinary raid against the beasts
of the field and the fowls of the air, that hold
habitation amid the rocky fastnesses and great
prairies of the West.
Senator Douglas’s Resolution. —The fol
lowing is the resolution of Senator Douglus, in
relation to invasions, introduced in the Senate on
the 16th inst. :
Resolved, That the Committee on the Judicia
ry be instructed to report a bill for the protec
tion of each State aud Territory of the Union
against invasion by the authorities or inhabitants
of any other States or Territories ; and for the
suppression and punishment of conspiracies or
combinations in any State or Territory, with the
intent to invade, assail or molest the government,
inhabitants, property or institutions, of any other
Stato or Territory of the Union.
High Price for Corn. —The San Antonio
Texan of the 9th says :
“Corn is now selling here at $2 per bushel, and
as we understand, the supply is extremely limit
ed, the price is likely to advance still higher.—
Out fanners would do well to send in a quantity.
Butter and eggs will also command good prices.
Pemberton Mill Catastrophe.—The Coro
ner's inquest into this fearful calamity was con
tinued on the 17th. A dispatch from Lawrence
says:
John Crawford was sworn. His testimony
showed the fire was caused by the breaking of a
lantern with which he was hunting for his daugh
ter, who was in the ruins. He also testified to
the fact that there had been a crack in one of the
walls ever Since the building was erected; this
crack ran up the whole end of the building; also
to the settling of the first story of the building,
and to the various expedients reported to for
strengthening it, generally on Sundays. He con
sidered the building unsafe, especially when the
mill was in motion.
Berjamin Harding, a carpenter employed by
the company, testified to the fact of the rafters
used in the buildiDg having been originally cut
too short, so that many rested only three inches
in the wall. He considered the building alto
gether too weak for the weight of the machinery
put in it. Had examined thjp ruins, but saw no
sign of settling of the foundation.
Ohio on Invasions. —Mr. Harrison, of the
Ohio Senate, has introduced the annexed bill,
which, it is said, will probably be passed at an
early day:
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the
State of Ohio, That if any person shall, within
the territory or jurisdiction of the State of Ohio
begin or set on foot, or provide or prepare, the
means for any military expedition or enterprise
against the territory or people of any of these
United States, or shall provide, prepare or fur
nish arms or other munitions of war for the pur
pose of inciting, aiding or abetting an insurrec
tion in any of the said United States, every per
son sooffendiDg shall “be deemed guilty of a mis- [
demeanor, and, on conviction thereof, shall be
punished by imprisonment in the penitentiary of
this State not less than one nor more than ten |
years.
Instead of the foregoing, how much better
would it have been to have said that “such offen
der shall be turned over to the authorities of the
nearest slave State.” This would have saved the
people of Ohio some trouble, and the culprit a
good deal.
The Limit of Promotion. —The Duke of
Wellington, giving oraers of day during his cam
paign, for a battalion to attempt a rath r danger
ous enterprise—the storming of one of the ene
mies ba teries of St. Sebasiian—complimented
the officer by saying that his was the first regi
ment in the world. “Yes,” replied the officer,
leading on his men, “and before your lordship's
orders are finally executed, it will probably be
the Jim in the other world,”—Zion’t Herald,
The City of Jeddo.— An American officer on
the steamship Powhatan, writing to the Boston
Courier, from Jeddo, Japan, under date of the
Bth October, 1859, gives an interesting account of
that remarkable city, which, according to his
statement, exceeds in size and population any
city now in existence or that has existed. It
stretches some twenty miles along the beach of
the bay or gulf of Jeddo, and extends inwa-d
some twelve atd a half miles. The population
is estimated by Mr. Harris, our Minister there, at
three millions. The correspondent thinks that
it is under-esiimated, ana that in fact it is nearly
twice as populous.— Wilmington Journal.
An Invulnerable Fhip.— Late English pa
pers, state that a remarkable vessel of war is now
being designed by Mr. Page, to be submitted to
the British Government, of such a nature as to
defy the utmost powers of existing ordnance, and
which will be capable of throwing with accuracy
seven hundred explosive shells per hour into any
dockyard three miles distance.
Letters by the Overland Mail.—Post
master Hogan staves that the number of letters
sent from the St. Louis postoffice by the overland
mail, for the quarter ending 31st of December, is
I 6f ,917. This is exclusive of over two hundred
pounds of foreign closed mails, and several di
rect bags from Chicago and Cincinnati. The
number received in the same time, exclusive of
j about 1600 packages direct for other offices (and
estimated to contain 16.000 letters) is 111,561.
“The women of Lawrence, heroines in every
sphere, during the fearful scenes of the hour, won
laurels in the fire department also. When, after
hours of extreme exertion, the firemen, worn
I down and quite exhausted, called for help, a bevy
| of ladies who were standing on the sidewalk in
Canal street, flew over to the onlines and “man
i ning” the brakes, worked the machines, amid the
; cheers of the firemen.
