. Gen. Cass on the Wilmot Tkoviso.—The
Washington Correspondent of the Baltimore
jgiuu furnishes that paper with an abstract of
Gen. Cass’ speech in tho Semite, on Monday
last, on tho subject of the Wilmot Proviso.—
The II on. Soautor commenced by pronouncing
Unit mischief-pregnant measure to be unci
stitiitional. Congress, said he, never hud a
right to gstahlish territorial governments. Tit
right to legislate over persons and personal n
lotions in the territories, belonged to the poop!
thereof; and if Congress over did legislate
for the territories, it was with tho implied cut
fient of tlte people, signified by their ncipi
-esCMtice. There was no right, no power, con
ferred by the constitution, which enabled Con
gress to establish territorial governments at til’,
and if Congress exercised such a right, it was
on llie ground of extreme necessity, and as
soon as that was removed, the power itself was
exhausted. Gen. Cass is quite correct when
lief says that 'neither Grutius nor Puffendorf,
nor Vattol, norutiy oilier writer on international
laws is competent authority for this country,

{ they had presented their works to the world.
SATURDAY, JANUARY 20, 1850.
I
Wo must not forget lliut. the constitution of
tho United States is u distinct progress beyond
all their labor, and that no progress can admit
of tho paitas a standard. The origin of -Euro
pean jurisprudence, after tho barbarism of.thc
middle agus, must be sought in tho endeavors
of her mon of'letters to reconcile tho historical
condition of that continent with the categorical
, demands of human reason, and that the whole
labor of lior jurists was merely an analysis
tho statu qito, with an attempt to refer it to fix
ed abstract principles which cannot be traced
historically to the rise and full of heron;
pises. Neither must it bo forgotten that these
writers woro Uie subjects of Kings, and ns
such liable as tho libeiul writers of Europe now
nro to fine and imprisonment, if not to he cap
itally punished. Hence their notions of sov
ereiguty. half-sovereignty, eminent do uain,nnd
the like, by which the people always go with the
lands; as the trees which grow upon it. or the
animals that roam in the forest. Gen Cas
showed that those notions find no application
in the condition of the different States and ter
ritorics of the United States, nnd that the con
stitution of the United States, embodying tin
true progress ofhumnn freedom, must be reft
red to in preference to tlio learned common
tutors on European laws and jurispruden so.
Mr. Cnss is against the proviso, ns a usol
offensive meusuro to the South, and devoid • of
practical good, in any respect. Ho think
very never will go to California, New Mexico
or, Dese rot.fiot even by statute laws; and on this
account, valuing the Union more than all use
less abstractions, Mr. Cnss will not vote on any
territorial bill, embodying' the proviso; but re
sign his seat.
Gon. m Cass did not finish ids speech, hut as
far as it went, it is not only a philosophical
and stntosmnnliko, but also a legal argument
of the great question now agitating the Union.
_ It contains the whole history of the subject,
* and will become u text to he referred to in
future times.
Growing Commerce of the United
States.—From present indications, the busi
ness of the coming spring, in the groat North-
in markets, will bo on a senlo vastly exceed
ing in amount airy previous season. Large
packet ships arc arriving daily at. New York
from foreign ports with immense cargoes of
goods, by which tho receipts of customs are
swelled beyond uny previous figures. Some
of the extent of these operations may be
ginned from the fact, that during the first five
lays of last week the amount received at the
Custom House of that city was upwards of eleven
mired thousand dollars, and" it was expected
that the week would bring tho gross receipts
up to a million anil u half of dollars. In Bos
ton, too, tho greatest activity prevails among
the importing merchants. Largo cargoes of
lry goods had arrived there during tho week
thus insuring an early supply for tho spring
trade in that line, which the papers say has
been unusually good during the past year
great, trade is anticipated by the Boston mer
chants this spring.
A combination of circumstances affecting
the commercial w.orld have conspired to pro
duce this prosperous state of things, promi
nent among which mny be mentioned the d
dine in the value of money in England, which
was down at last advices to 1^ and 2 percent.,
and the steady ns well as prospective advance
in our great staple, cotton. With easy rates of
money in England, nnd u rising cotton market
lore, there is likely to he no boundary to com
merce, short of the capacity of our merchants
onduct it, nnd that of our people to con
sume. Our extended international intercourse
with tho Mexican States and the Islands of the
Gulf and of the Pacific, as well as the growing
importance of our possessions in California,
Now Mexico, and Oregon, may also he men
tioned as exerting nn influence on. our com
merce. This, together with the introduction
of a steam marine by which we now traverse
tho coasts of tlte two oceans, and which will,
ere long, put us in direct communication with
tho Chinese Empile and intermediate Islands,
have wrought a miraculous change within the
few years past, and limn opened a field for
American capital ami enterprise, such as is en
joyed by no other' nation. How ardently is it
to be hoped that ito untoward event may oc
cur to check oitr onw'nrd progress to the posi
tion which without, it must be ours—that of
tho wealthiest, freest, and most powerful na
tion in tho world.
Rf.ckptjon of Father Mathew. —The
Very Reverend Theobold Mathew arrived
in our city last night at 11^ o'clock, in the
steamer Gen. Clinch, from Charleston. He
was received nt tho whnrf by the “ Irish Union
Society,’’ mid a large concourse of citizens,
who awaited his arrival at the Charleston Steam
Packet Wharf. He was conveyed in carriage,
pccecdod by tho Irish Union Society and many
citizens, to the house of M. Prf.ndergast,
Esq., whose guest he will be during his sojourn
in Savannah. In a neut nnd appropriate ad
dress, he returned bis thanks for tho cordial
reception he had received, and after several
hearty cheers, tho assemblage retired.
Arraignment of Prof. Webster in the
Municipal Court.—The Boston Herald, of
Saturday afternoon, says:
,“Dr. John W. Webster was brought into the
t jijcipul Court ut one o’clock this afternoon,
j:4 us notified that tin indictment had been
lid uguinst him for the murder of Dr. Georg* 1
Turkman, and that ho would be held to answer
at the Supreme Judical Court.
“The indictment was not rend to him, tier
was any answer made by him to the notification
which was read. Ho appeared to be quite
calm; and, excepting a little spasmodic twitch
ing el' the lnucles of the throat, no emotion
could be seen upon his countenance, which
was quite pale. Webster was brought to the
court in charge of officers Harrington and
Smith in a oarrage. and was taken back to the
jail in the same. He was only present in court
for two or three minutes.
“We uro officially informed that in the indict
ment Jgumst Webster there are four counts,
viz : the 1st charges Webster with kilings Dr.
Turkman, with malice aforethought, with n
knife; tho 2d, witli a hammer; the 3d, with
his baud* and feet; nnd the 4th by meat s, man
ner and instruments, to the jurors unknown.
“The grand jury became satisfied on the first
duv of llie. examination, of the guilt of Prof.
Webster, and the testimony given afterwards
only tended to strengthen a previous convic-
liou. They were nlso satisfied that if tho wit
nesses for the government were not impeached,
then w in bo no hope of an acquittal.
Coroner’s Inquest —An inquest was held
yesterday bv Thomas Eden, Esq., upon the
body of Martin Reedy, who fell into tho river
about two weeks since, and was drowned. He
was about 21 years of ngc.
An inquest was also held yesterday on ihe
body of a negro boy, belonging to Mrs.
Koehler, who was drowned by falling into the
OP The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel
states that the contract for building another cot
ton mill in that city, has been closed. Tho
Mill is to 'contain the samo number of spindles
as the one which has been in such successful
operation during the past year, and will be
commenced immediately. This is one of the
most gratifying evidences of the great success
which has, and will continue to attend man

cr The Charleston Courier says that a
company has been formed in that city, and the

Instincts of the Horse..—Wo find the fol
lowing in an exchange paper:
It is stated, that if a horse bo shut up in a
pasture where there is no water, he will nt
certain times of the day, make it a practice to
stand in the place where water is nearest
the surface, and thus indicate the host place for
digging for it. Those who allege this to
be a fact say that horses have a faculty ol smel
ling water, like camels in tho African desert,
or the cattle of the South American pampas.
As to tho practicability of relying upon the
instincts of the animal for information in re
gard to the location of subterranean water
courses, we will not venture an opinion. But
of the fact that the horse lias tho faculty ol
nosing water a considerable distance, especial
ly when his senses are pricked to it by thirst,
wo have in our time had the most satisfactory
proofs, one of which, for the want of something
better to write about, we will instance.
In the year 1832. it was our fortune to he
one of n party of three, consisting of the then
acting Governor of Florida, ourself, and a negro
servant, who were charged with tho business
of jinying the annuity allowed by the U. S.
government to tho Seminole Indians. The
country lying between the settlements of Leon
County and the Indian Reservation was at thnt
time little bettor than an uninhabited wilder
ness- The road, running through interminable
forests of pine, with hero mid there a dark
hammoc, was very little travelled, nnd was
thickly carpeted with pine-straw, so that even
in the day time it was a difficult matter to lul
low it. It was a wild and lonely road on which,
save now and then tho hut of some solitary
hunter or cow-herd, no human habitation mot
tlie view fur hundreds of miles together. Our
equipage consisted of a two-horse barouche,
in which, besides tho govenor and ourself,
were sorno sixty thousand dollars in specie,
and a small one-horse jersey, with out baggage,
camp equipments, some twenty rifles to be pre
sented to tho chiefs, and a quantity of trinkets
for the womem nnd children, from their great
Fatherat Washington. This establishment was
Iriven by the negro who kept close in the rear
of our barouche.
One day after crossing tho Suwaneo we
sutt'ered much from a scarcity of water, tuid
would have nearly perished but for the relief
afforded by n large water-melon which we had
procured the day previous,the luscious core of
which served to slake our thirst from time to
time,as did the rind that of our horses. A
night drew on and the wolves began to howl
and the owls to hoot around us, we began to
look out anxiously for a watering placo at
which to camp. No spring or rivulet was to
be seen, and as it grew dark tho horses, over-
travelled and suffering for water, could scarcely
bo forced to move*
There was no alternativo but to push for
ward in the hope of finding a branch or spring,
An hour of slow and tedious travel still found
us without water, hut we remarked that the
horses became more animated, snuffed the air
and prieked up their ears, and that the wheels
of our vehicle moved more rapidly over the
soft carpet of straw. We attribut* d this
first to the refreshing coolness of the night air
From a brisk walk they anou broke into a trot
whicli increased in speed us we advanced, un
til it became necessary to restrain them with
the rein; -..’bile Old Button, a sngucious old
cat-hammed roan, wlio drew tho jersey in the
rear, manifested his impatience by butting his
nose against the barouche, chafing his bit, and
whickering incessantly. It was a dull star
light night, and as far as the eye eould pene
trate the wilderness of pines, nothing unusual
was to he observed. A doubt arose in our minds
that wo were oft’ the road, but as thero were
no possible means of ascertaining the fact, ve
allowed tho horses, as usual, to to take their
course, while we occupiod ourselves with
peculations respecting the probabilities of
that and other mntteis pertinent to our situa
tion. Suddenly, as if a whole constellation
had dropped ou the earth before us, myriads of
brilliunt stars were strewed before our horses
feet. With an exclamation of terror, our com-
panionion throw his whole weight upon the
reins, and by our joint efforts we were enabled
to check tho horses barely in time to save them
from plunging down ihe almost perpendicular
bank of an immense lime-sink, the banks of
which were some fifty foet above the deep,
black water.
Springing to tho heads of the horses it was
with difficulty that we were able to restrain
them, and if it luid not been for an intervening
pine, our faithful Peter and his horse Button,
with jersey, bag and baggage, would have gone
down to the depths whereof the judgment of
man formeth no conception.
After securing our impatient horses, and
searching about some time, with the aid of u
lightwood torch we discovered a gully that
had been washed down into the sink, by which
we were enabled to gain access to tho water,
which .was not more heiu til y enjoyed by our
jaded horses than ourselves.
Buijding a fire, we camped for the night
near the sink. On the following morning we
spent nn hour in finding the road, which, to
our great surprise, was distant more than than
half u mile from the sink. The horses no doubt,
had, scented the water from a much greater
distance, and, unobserved by us, had left the
road to obtain it.
The Admission of California. ihe
President communicated to Cougress. on Mon-
dav the documents and papers called for by the
House, in reference to the organization of the
State Government in California. A corres
pondent of the Baltimore Sun says :
Gen. Taylor’s reply to the House resolution
of injury, has been received and read, anil has
embittered the South toon uncommon degree.
T
1
he General admits thnt lie has advised the peo-
e of California and new Mexico to form State
stitutions, and that he promised them to be
their friend, (to stand by them in tho case ol
need.) He also admits"that Mr. Butler King
■as sent out bylho administr ation to act us an
trait provocateur, leading people to believe
hat Mr. King has been paid out of the secret
service money. On the whole, the reading of
the papers has produced an internal row in the
House, and you may put it down ns certain that
there is a break between the Bwing-Clayton
Cabinet anil tho Southern whigs, which will not
be healed in the course of thissession.
Another correspondent of tho samo pa
per furnishes the following abstract of the
President’s Message accompanying the docu
ments.
The great California mare’s nest is at length
found, and exhibted to public view. I do not
see what is, to be made out of it against tho
rcsi dent.
He says, in his message, that ho was left
ithnuttheaid of legislative power; ho did not
undertake to exert any authority in the territo
ry acquired from Mexico. Ho conferred no
authority on any officers whom he found in
command, and offered them no extra com
pensation. He merely used such means as
le found established by his predecessor.—
Ho sent the Hon. Thomas Butler King as
bearer of dispatches to California, and gave in
structions to him and other officers, copies of-
which he presents. He wished them to aid in
the adoption of a State constitution, but gavo
no plan for one, and did But contemplate the es
tablishment of any form of government without
the assent of Congress. He did not authorize
the adoption of any particular provision in the
constitution. Tho plan of government was left
to their own deliberate choice*
Under the constitution of tho United States,
erv State hail the right to establish and alter
its form of government, provided it did not
nfringe on the constitution ; and if California
was admitted as a State, she would regulate hor
domestic pedicy to suit herself.
The principle- that we could impose a govern
ment arbitrarily oil California, becauss she was
conquered, was not American. She had a
right to adopt domestic institutions to suit her
self.
Wherever a territory was admitted as a Slate,
the question had often arisen as to the tolera
tion of involuntary servitude, and created great
excitement. Whether Congress has tho power
to prohibit slavery v.-as likely to create undue
excitement in this case. Therefore ho thought
it better that tho people should settle the qus-
tion for themselves. The people had adopted
a Constitution, in conformity with his views,
but not by his direction. The officers appoint
ed before he came into office, had taken the
preliminary steps towards a call of a conven-
tion.
He repeated his recommendation that. Cali-
fornia bo admitted as a Stale. The rest of
California was uninhabited except the vicinity
of Salt Lake.
There Was no tribunnl to settle the houndar-
rcis of Now Mexico. It was left to Congress
to provid for that. But ho submitted that it
was inexpedient to fix the boundary now, or to
create any agitation by establishing a territorial
government
Armed Defence.—Petitions have been pre
sented to the Legislature, from citizens of the
Eastern Shore of Maryland, asking fur cannon
und muskets, to bo placed at the disposal of
the good citizens of Maryland, for the pioter-
tion of the oysters in the waters of tha,' State
against destruction by tho people of other
States. Within the past year there have been
one or two skirmishes between the Virginians
and Maryland,oe on that shore,and depredators
from Philadelphia, who arc in the habit of

New York, Jan. 10, 1850.
Mr. Editor : Presuming that yourself and
your readers feel a lively interest in the pro
gress of tho new steamers now building by
Wm* H. We hr. Esq., of this city, to supply
the place of tho Cherokee and Tennessee in
the New York and Savannah Steam Naviga
tion Company’s Line, I send you o£ few notes
on the subject.
The first ship is in nn advanced state, her
frame being nearly completed, and will bo
ready for launching, say in June or July. She
will be one of tho finest ships ever built in
tho yards of tiiis city, having all the modern
improvements, and being of the best materials
mid workmanship.
I will endeavor to give you sorno idea of
her cabin and deck arrangements 5
On deck it is intended to accommodate the'
officers, engineers, mid firemen ;■ also, to hnvo
upon it till such places as are below in they
Cherokee, as lumber-rooms, store-rooms, &e.
Tho midship house will be aft, joining that at
the stem, making a room something like that
of tho captain’s in the Cherokee, about 30
feet long.
The after cabins will be similar to those of
the Cherokee nnd Tennessee. Tho forward
cabin nnd passage ways are to be finished with
hard wood, same as tho after cabin, and the
state rooms arc to be arranged so as to make'
the most of the room. In one state room on each
side, there will bo four births similar to those
of the Crescent City; other state rooms will
contain two births each, and a sofa wide
enough for a third when necessary to be used.
The remaining state rooms will have two births
each.
Tho forecastle on deck will accomodate tho
crew and firemen, tlte room used by the crew,
on tjiie Cherokee being for steerage passengers
or freight. The forward hatch will be one of
the sky-lights admitting light to the forward
abin, the one aft will he similar to that of tho
Cherokee, and to be enclosed like her’s, but
with no break, as in tho Tennessee. There will
lie rooms along the wheel-house,similar to those
on tho Tennessee.- She will have a steering
wheel aft, so arranged as to be Used in case of
It is said that the hard wood finish
the forward cabin and passage ways
will co3t $1,500 more than the cost of pine
painted;wliite, but there will be a saving of
more than the interest of the money every six
months in the absence of the necessity of
painting, besides tho greater firmness and
durability of tho work.

charges against him. The accused was held
to answer until other parties whom tho police
are in search of can be secured.
ITT A Washington letter writer says, that
he South will oppose the admission of Cali
fornia on the graund that the limits proposed
extend south of 36 30, and therefore infringe
on tho principle of the Missouri compromise;
and further, on the ground that tho country
south of that line being uninhibited, wus not rep
resented in tho convention, and that the people
of North California have no right to say that the
South shall be excluded from that portion of
tlie territory, while they adopt- laws for their
own domestic policy.
President Taylor has by proclamation,
revoked the exequatur of Senor Carlos de Es-
