With the old it would not have required nltraism or rashness iu the ire by the State of South Caroli ne! ted most pernicious jealousies. Nolhiug proves the unselfishnessuf her policy more conclusively than the entire absence of all obtrusive captious ambition on her part.— While that State’s lead and sacrifices in the cause of the South would justly entitle her to a very large share of influence in shaping the administration of its Government, yet the pol iticians of Carolina are as quiet as if their on ly desire was to see that the public weal was secured. It will be a happy thing <or us if, un der the new order of things, the conservatism, staidoesa and punctilious adherence to Cousti- tutitutional obligations which have always marked the conduct of the noble Palmetto State, should become the pervading character istic of the whole people of the Southern Union. Personal. The military ordinance lately adopted by the Louisiana Convention was reported by Mr. Taylor, of St. Charles, ton of the late President Taylor, and one of the most able and efficient member* of the Convention ; and its passage was advocated by him in a speech of marked ability. Col. Braxton Bragg, of a “little more grape" celebrity, and Capt. J. K. Duncan and J. M. Taylcr, have been selected by the Governor of Louisiana as his aid-dt-camp. Messrs. Watts and Yancey, delegates to the Alabama Convention, have exhibited a-species of liberality not often met with amongst the public servants of the people, by returning to the State, as a donatiou, the amount received for their services during the sitting of the Con vention. Colonel John C. Fremont is in Albany, New York, receiving much attention from his Re publican friends. Peace Conference Compromise. The New York Herald of the 16th instant, says: “The sub-committee appointed by the General Committee of the Washington Peace Conference have agreed upon tho Guthrie com promise— the Crittenden scheme, excepting iu the vital point about the future territory. Even this, however, is something. But what next? The General Committee may be divided upon it, or the Conference may split upon it and branch off into two or throe reports. Lst us suppose, however, that the Conference will adopt this Guthrie adjustment; it will avail uothii g unless adopted by the Republican par ty iu Congress. Will they adopt it? We think not; for has not their President elect just as sured them that “nothing is going wrong;" that “ nobody is suffering anything," and that “ time and patience” will settle all these polit ical agnations ? Let this Peace Conference close up its work and disperse. “Time and patience” are the compromise of the Republi can party, liaa not Mr. Seward said so very plainly? Has uoi Mr. Lincoln said so? We say, then, let the outside politiciaus of this Peace Conlereuce o.oae up tneir work anu go home. The President elect snd his Premier speak fur the Republican party." tuning In the United State House of Representatives, ou the I lib instant, the following resolution was offered by Mr. Sheriuan of Ohio, the Black Republican leader in that body : “Revived, That neither Congress nor the P* .»pie, nor the governments ol the non slave- holding States, have any Constitutional right to Legislate upon or interfere with slavery in any of the siaveholdmg States of the Union." The vote having been taken upon the reso lution, it wns adopted without a dissenhug twice —yeas 161; nays nuns. Very well, but it comae too late. Excursion to LmOrmnge. We are indebted to one of tho party who at tended the President elect from this city, for the following aecount of the trip to LsGrange On the departure of the Preaident elect, oi Saturday last, from this city, a large uumber of our most promineut citizens accompanied bin as far as LaUrauge. Through the efficient ar rangements, and generous courtesy of Georg< G. Hull, Esq., the worthy Superintendent of the Road, the special car occupied by the Pres ident was appropriated exclusively to his use, and that of the Committee of cilisens by whom he was escorted. The number was just suf ficient to make the journey pleasant and enter taining, and it turned out, in every particular, just as it was intended. It was a tribute due to the eminent services of JerraasoN Davis in the field and in the Couucll Chamber, as well as a testimonial to tho high position to which he has been called; and it is pleasiug to kuow that our own city of Atlanta was not behind in discharging her duty to the fullest extent. At every station ou the Atlanta A West-Point Road the people turned out in large numbers to take a look at their new President, and hear his views on the state of the country. Col. Davis was ever ready, notwithstanding the fatigue he had already undergone, to comply with the wishes of the people, and at each place made a short but soul-atirriDg address, as to our present condition and future prospects. At Newn&n, Coweta county, the demonstra tion was a large and imposing one, the plat form of the depot being crowded with ladies snd gentlemen. As the train arrived, two mil itary companies, in full uniform, filed down in front of the President's car, and on Col. Davis making his appearance on the platform, they fired a salute. The gentlemen shouted “ hur rahs " for “ Jeff Davis,” and the ladies waived their handkerchiefs. The President elect spoke with great feeling in his allusions to the ac ceptance of the elevated post to which he had been elected, but pledged himself to be waut ing in neither toil or seal in his discharge o! his public duties. lie announced that his pol icy was peace, but, at the same time, assured his friends that the North might make ii nec essary that our independence might once more have to be sealed with blood. He did not fear the ultimate result, as he knew that with the thousands of brave hearts he had seen every where on his journey, success in the assertion of our rights was certain to be achieved. His remarks were brief, as the whistle of the en- ae announced that the train must again move He bowed them adieu, and the air rang th the loud huzzas sud cheers of the vast multitude. At Grantville, the President and party took nner. “Mine hast" at whose house we dined had been notified that au unusual uumber of guests would be upon him, aud had made am ple preparations. The dinner was abundant and excellent, and did great credit to the host. Before starting onward. Col. Davis was again called on by the citizeus to address them, which be did briefly but iu bis felicitous way. As the train approached LaGrange it was round that almost everybody and his wife had come to the depot. Large numbers of ladies were present, and at this point the President made one of his finest speeches. He seemed to warm up to the highest pitch as he alluded to the prospect of war and our power of de- At LaGrange, a portion of the Committee from Montgomery, Alabama—consisting of Judge Meek and Mr. Charles T. Pollard—arri ved in the up train—the other having remaiu- ed at West Point. Committing the President to their charge, the Atlanta Committee and party bade Col. Davis farewell, and retired to the up train, which, in a few hours, brought back to our city. Nothing occurred du ring the whole excursion to mar the pleasure of the occasion. The President elect entered into conversation freely with all who engaged him, so that a stranger might have come into the car and not have been able to distinguish him from others of the party. There was no display, no courtly airs, or affected hauteur about him whatever. He is a modest, but dig nified gentleman—affable and pleasant to eve rybody—and we are quite sure that he made a profound impression on all who came in con tact with him. The Executive of the Southern Confede racy. The New Orleans Bulletin says :—The selec tion of Hon. Jefferson Davis for President, and Hon. Alexander H. Stephens for Vice Presi dent of vhe new Provisional Government of the Seceding States, has givon in this commu nity ery general satisfaction. They are both able men, and true and loyal to the South, and both will discharge the lunctions of their high offices faithfully and with a proper regard to the exigencies of the times. It must be borne in mind, that these appointments are simply provisional, and their terms are temporary, the duration of them being limited to the time and occasion when permanent officers will be cho sen by the people at large, aud a provisional government converted into a permanent and •table one. Dreadful Sufferings in Kansas. Jdr. W. W. Jerome, of Irving. Marshall Coun ty* eighty miles from Atchinson, says that the cattle and hogs of his neighborhood are actu ally starving, and that the inhabitants are nea>ly destitute of food, and must perish un less relief is speedily afford 'd. The despera tion of despair is seising upon them. Their teams are giving out, aud they are too weak to make their way through the snow. Some heve been four weeks in trying to get from the Re publican Forks to Atchison, and have turned back dispirited. The population of Marshall County is about 3,000 Mr Jerome has hurried hi Atchison with all possible dispatch, fearing that the people upon the Little Blue will suffer from hunger before he can get back with sup* piles- The condition of the roads in that re gion is now so bad that only about ten miles a day can be traveled. 0H*Orx* Absalom W. Woodruff, a lawyer, ef Paterson, New Jersey, in a speech a few nights ago, said “ he only wished to his God to have control of Hell for three days, in order thet he might rain fire aud brimstone on South Carolina." He would revere* the order of things, it seems, and rain upward*. .|Hr We have been kindly permitted tooopy the following letter to a citiaen of this city, from a friend in Maine: Frankfort Mills, Feb. 8, 1861. Frirmd Saavy : Thinking you might like to hear from your own native town in relation to the position which most all of your old asso ciates, snd the people of this town, stand in the present crisis of our country, I have the pleasure to inform you that three-fourths of the people are true to their Southern brothers, voted the Democratic ticket, and would take up arms in the defence of their rights, if nec essary. This, in my opinion, is the positionof the whole Democratic party of this State, and they are not small in numbers, even in these degenerate times. We look upon this Uniou as dissolved, and all we might do or say would, of course, make no difference, but still, I have a desire to inform you aud our friends in Geor gia that when the time comes, which our Black Republican friends are endeavoring to bring about—that is, to coerce the Southern States— they will have first to commence their civil war iu the Free States, and subdue the traitors—as they seem pleased to call us—before they can commence their subjugation of the South. We have, as you are aware, 63,000 good Democrats iu this State who will not bear arms against tho South, nor allow others, so far as they can pre vent it. The Free States are all divided in sentiment, a majority of whom are opposed to making war upon the South. You have as serted your rights in the State of Georgia, and I hope you will maintain them. I was in hopes our country would still go on and prosper un divided ; but I had rather see it divided, and bear my share of the burthens, than that one section should trample under foot the other, and make men vassals. I hope, when wise ■els prevail, and this Abolition sentimeut gets rooted out of our people, that there may construction of our Government, upon firm basis than ever; but I have very little hopes ever to see this reunion. All I can say is, if it should never be reunited, may you become a prosperous and happy people, and a powerful nation, which I have not the least doubt you will. I should be pleased to hear from you, ou re ceipt of this, and write to me what the feelings of the people of Georgia are, and whether you think they would be in favor of a re-construc tion of the Government, provided there should be guarantees offered sufficient to give the South her rights. I write this merely to ascer tain this fact, as there is quite a difference of opinion in relation to this matter. My brother is at sea, and his health is good. We are expect ing him home this month. I think one of us will come out to your State this Summer; and I am rather of the opinion that I may come out and settle, if this National trouble gets all set tled down, for I think the South will be the best part of the country; and I am of the opinion that there will be a great emigration there. Give my best respects to Mr. Lemuel Grant We are having one of the old-fashioned Win ters here—about 4$ feet of snow on a level. I .should be pleased to see jou here this Summer, if I do not come to Georgia. We are all anx ious to hear from you in relation to matters in the State of Georgia, and I hope you will write to me early, if you can, without any inconven ience. Yours truly, WEBSTER TREAT. Hannibal Hamlin. This individual waN^some years ago. elected an honorary member of the New England His toric Geological Society, and, agreeable to its requirements, made the following statement of his genealogy: Hampton, Me., Aug. 23, 1855. Dear Sir : Agreeable to the requirements of the New England HistoricGenealogical Society, of which I have been elected an honorary member, I submit the following statement : My name is Hannibal Hamlin—born in Par is. county of Oxtord, Stale of Maine, August 27th, 18011. Cyrus Hamlin was my father. He died in Paris. January,or February, 1828,aged about 58. He was a surgeon and physician.— He was Clerk of the Courts of Oxford county for several years, and subsequently High Sher iff of the same county. I think he had more than twenty brothers and sisters. Four of the brothers were named Asia, Africa, Eu rope and America. Africa was a member of the Cincinnati 8ociety. My mother died about forty years since, aged about seventy. Her name was Anna Liver more, daughter of Deacon Elijah Livermore, of the town of Livermore, in Oxford county. They were married about the year 1798. (If desira ble, 1 can obtain the exact dates of their birth, marriage and decease.) I prepared myselt for a collegiate education. The death of my father required my services at home, and I devoted myself to labor on the homestead until I was near twenty-one years old. I then went into a printing office, having purchased an interest therein, where I remain ed something more than a year, working as a compositor. 1 then commenced the study of the law—was admitted to the Bar January, 1833—commenced Dractice at Hampden, April, d in the practice up to 1848. I was a member of the House of Represen tatives, in Maine, for the years 1836, '37, '38, ’39 and ’40. Was Speaker of the House in 1837, '39 and *40. Was also a member in 1847. Was a candidate for Congress in 1840, and was defeated by about 260 majority in a poll of about 16,000 votes. Was elected in 1842, and re-elected in 1844. Was elected to the Senate n 1848 to supply the vacancy for four years, occasioned by the death of John Fairfield.— Was reelected in 1860 for the term of six years. John Dkan, Esq., H. HAMLIN.

The sales of Cotton ac the latter port, for two days prior to her sailing, reached 12,000 bales, of which speculators took 3,000 bales. There was a decline of $d. on the week. The sales on Wednesday and Thursday after, were 12,000 bales, with a better inquiry, but other conditions unchanged. The breadstuff* and provision markets were dull. The American crisis was the leading topic of the English journals, and in business circles. Seward’s speech had been published at length and its merits canvassed. The London Times applauds his argument, that South Carolina is guilty of rebellion, and says that they are principles which should have emanated from the President. Trade in France was dull. The fighting at Gaeta bad been suspended. The Italian election had resulted in a large majority for the Government. TbeParis Bourse .was animated and buoyant. .Mighty .Mean Looking. A correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer, writing under date of the 11th instant, thus graphically describes Old Abe : “His Excellency, the President of what there is left of the United Slates, arrived duly on time, by his special train from Springfield, at five o’clock, P. M. He rode down Washington street in an open carriage, accompanied by Governor Morton who looked every inch a king beside him, and Governor Morton, in my judg ment, though I'm a poor judge of human Black Republican nature, is a mighty mean looking man. There was not a cheer went up from the citizens thronging the side walks while His Ex cellency progressed from the West to the East, going towards his supper at the Bates House.” Funny. The Montgomery correspondent of the Charleston “Courier," in a recent letter, says: “Quite an amusing incident occurred at the Theatre last evening. Mrs. Mitchell was per forming the Wept-oT-the- Wisbtou Wish, in one of the scenes of which it is necessary to intro duces young child. This was accordingly done, and said infantile production regaled the au dience with a series of operatic screams, in con sequence of which the curtain was dropped and the audience left in doubt as to whetner it was the child or the actors who failed in their parts. To settle their minds upon this point, and to apologise for the interruption, one of the Indians, clothed with all the toggery of the savage, but who was evidently a very modest novice of the stage, came in front of the green drop, and innocently delivered himself of the following speech : “ Ladies and Gentlemen : We must ask your indulgence for a few moments, as the child in the last Act disturbed the play, aud we have to delay the •< other child." from tha N. T. Cool and Shipping List A Thought on Cotton Spinning. Some of the ablest writers iu the Boutberu journals, we observe, are earnestly urging up on the Cotton growers ibe wisdom end expo diency of becoming spinners, end not simply produoers, of ltie raw material. Georgia. North Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland, we are told, are capable of becoming the Cotton ■pinners of the world, and the day may come when a bale of “lint” Colton offered for ex port to a foreign or coastwise port will be as great a curiosity as is now a bale of Cotton in the seed. And elaborate calculations are an* tertd into, to demoostra e that, if the Atm-ri can cotton crop were shipped in the shape of yarn or thread, it would make a saving to our ualional wealth, in the items of waste aud transportation alone, of twenty five per cent, on the total crop, or say $60,000,000—a suru sufficient to construct a Pacific Rai road, and cut a ship caaal across Florida ; also, that the Atlantic Southern Stales would receive an ad dition to their wealth, through the demand for coal and iron, and water power, aad con sequent activity in the inland railway interest. We find these views elaborated aud enforc ed with point, in a communication to the Washington Constitution, by a Southern gen tleman who is said to be especially qualifiod to write upon them. As the subject is oue which has an ultimate interest for a wide cir cle of readers, it may bo worth while to brief- 'y embody the more important of his sugges tions fn this article. Few people are aware of the immense loss of Southern wealth, incident to the transpor tation of the cotton crop to Europe iu the preseut “ raw” or “ lint” form. It is sent forward as a colon el product to England, where it is spun into yarn (or thread,) and then re exported from the continent of Europe to India, China and South America in immense quantises and with a corresponding enhance ment in value. It is this lint which makes valuable the coal and irou of Great Britain.— The great industry of England is the cotton- spinning industry, and iu this branch of man ufacturing the United States are yet destined to supplant all rivals. The idea of shipping the American cotton crop in the form of “yarn, or thread,” the writer tells us, is now receiving the earnest attention of practical men in England, Geima ny and America. The difference between the American cotton crop in the "lint,” and in the "thread,” is the difference between a crop of "low ordinary” and "strictly good middling,” or 2} to 3£ cents per pound This fact alone, it is urged, should arrest the atten tion of all who are engaged, directly or indi rectly, in the irade, and secure for the "spiu ning project” tho consideration to which its importance eminently entitles it. The correspondent of the Constitution, in the same connection, alludeB to the fact that the Surat, or Indian coitons are valueless, ex cept when used with ihe American staple. By yielding the monopoly of spinning up our crop to Englaod, he argues, we have enabled her gradually to introduce the Surat cotton into the continental markets, until now we find that over seven hundred thousand bales of Su- rats are placed annually in Europe—every bale of "India Surat” cotton whieh England succeeds in forcing into consumption through the aid of our good staple cottons, and by having the exclusive monopoly of " spinning” for Ihe world, displace a bale of our lower, or " inferior” grades. The consequence is now manifest at Liverpool. The lower grades of American cottons are not asked for, the Eng lish spinners having worked in the Indian cottou. aud neatly six hundred thousand bales are in Europe without buyers, and deprecia ting daily in value. The question is then ask ed, If these 600,000 bales bad been spun into thread in America, would they not have been preferred by the German, Swiss or ’French weaver to the “ Sural” thread, they Are forc ed to take from England ? In any event, we are inclined to agree with the writer that the ideas here thrown out deserve to be carefully studied to the end, that we may become the spinner of our own cotton crop, letting the world buy the “ thread” from us. w uTcimmur.

By the steamship New York, further partic ulars have been received of the great case of Patterson vs. Bonaparte, which was opened at Paris, before the First Chambers of the Civil Tribunal of the Seine, on Friday, the 25th of last month, as our readers are aware from what has already appeared in the Herald.— From the very natural curiosity which tbo case excites, ibe court room was aa full as it could possibly be. The proceedings were op ened by M. Legrand, avoue for Mrs. Elixabeth Patterson, presenting the following conclu sions : — That it may please the Tribunal to declare the marriage contracted on the 24th of Decem ber, 1803, between the late Prince Jerome and Elizabeth Patterson valid. And also to lake judicial cognizance (donner acte) that M. Bona parte, while demanding that the marriage of the 24l h of December, 1803, may be declared valid, has never had any intention to contest, and does not now contest, the civil aud politi cal effects of the union contracted in 1807 by his father with tho Princess Catherine of Wurtemburg.” M. Berryer followed on the same side in an uninterrupted speech of four hours and a half, when the Court rose for n recess. On resuming, M. Allon opened the case for Prinoe Napoleon, and was bold enough to say that the eloquent advocate opposed to him "had very little hopes of winuing his case." He rests his osse entirely upon the law of France at the time, of the ‘provisions of which, he saye. Mis* Patterson was well aware, when she said, "If I can be his wife but for au hour 1 will run the risk;” and that knowing the legal objections to the marriage, she had not contracted it in good faith. On the con clusion of his speech the Court adjourned for e week. The Peris papers are absolutely silent on the subject—even the foot of the trial ia not mentioned in their news colons. Gkoroik’s New Bill or Rights.—The Bill of rights presented to the Georgia Conference contains several noticeable iuiprovemente on those embodied in the United States Constitu lion. Prominent among these is the substitu tion of tue word "citisen” for "pereon,” as, for example, " No citizen shall be deprived of life, liberty or property except by due proceae of law.” The same term ie iu variably made use of when any right or privilege is spoken of; but ibe discarded word " person” is intro duced whenever offenses against the laws cone to be treated of.—New Orleans Bulletin.
