Line of Packet Steamers from Chatta

Ohio.—Message of Governor Ford.—Gov.
Ford's message appears in the Columbus
Statesman of tho 18th. On the vexed ques
tion of slavery, lie thus descants:
“That Congress has tho power to prohibit
slavery from being introduced into tho territo
ries of tho U. Stutcs, where it does not now
exist, there can bo no rational doubt. I would
therefore recommend tho passage of resolutions
pressing upon our delegation in Congress the
propriety und necessity ol passing an ordiance
forever excluding slavery from every foot of
territory owned by the United Stutcs, before
any portion thereof shall be organized and ad
mitted as u State.
‘•I would also invito ycur attention to the
subject of tho slave trade in tho District of Co
lumbia. That there should be even toleruled
at, or near the capital of this boasted free re
public, a system of traffic in human flesh and
blood—a system so revolting tliut it cannot he
permittted within tho bordeis of the slave
States themselves—is a blot und a stigma upon
our notional escutcheon, and ought fortwith to
bo wiped out, I would therefore recommend
tho passage of resolutions requesting our dele
gation to use their exertions and influence to
have tho slave-trade in tho District of Colum
bia immediately ubolishod.”
Pirates.—It is supposed that tho clipper
ship Coquotto, of Boston, 1ms foundered

From tho nppcurance of the Gazette, (and

ler made a long report upon the condition of
the Darien Bank. The total liabilities of the

125,521,69. The assets of the Bank now re
tained by the Central Bank, amounting to
,182,81, is recommened to be applied to the
payment of judgment creditors of said Bank,
and tho remaining assets and claims of all kinds
are recommend forthwith to be pressed to set
tlement, and tho Mississippi lands belonging
said Bank to bo sold as speedily ns possible.
The following Bills passed the Senate on
yesterday:

prima facie evidence, without tho produc-
u of the execution under which the sale
was made, &c.

Banking Company. ,
To amend the Act of Dec. 29, 1838, to de
fine and affix the punishment of a crime or
misdemeanor committed by a Slave by the

Cotton by the several Rail Road Companies of
this State.
Tho Bill of the House reorganising the Sen
atorial Districts.
A Bill to organze a Fire Company in the city
of Atlanta.
A Bill to provide for tho collection nnd safe
keeping of the revenues of tho Western and
Atlantic Rail Road, and to finish those who may
attempt to defraud the same.

There is a terrible commotion among the'
Custom House employees, who are now required
work from 9 a. in. to 6 p. m.,‘ daily, instead
10 to 3,’ and in addition to this tho Collector
hus determined to withhold 20 per cent, on all

he lazy politicians who obtained situations in
the customs as a reward for services are dread
fully savage, but I dont think they will resign
“ leastwise ”—not just yet. Of course the
amount retained will be paid to them if the
law is abolished. The increased hours of work
rendered necessnry, it is said, by increase of
business, but the truth is, there are a great
many attached to the department who never
go there except on the first of the month for
tlioir salary, und some, I understand, oven
send for that. Now this is very unfair and un
just towards those who do work, and I should
like to see Congress call for a return from all
the Collectors of persons employed,the amounts
paid, and the number of days worked during
specified period. It is qnito time this system
as abolished.

Fanny Kemble rends “The Winter’s Talc”
this evening, at the Tabernacle, for the benefit
of the Hungarian refugees. As the price of
admission is only 50 cents, I have no doubt the
immense building will be crowded. Fanny

money from any slave Slate. She has read in
two, I believe, for charitable purposes.
Appropos of slavery—there is an “Anti-
Slavery Mass Convention” now being held at
Syracuse, in this Stute, in which Abolitionists
of all kinds, and from every part of the coun

was one of the resolutions passed:
Resolved, That the prediction uttered from
that little “upper room” in Boston, in 1831, by
William Lloyd Garrison, that the “foot of
the young ‘Liberator’ should make the nntion
tremble to its centre," has been already dread
fully fulfilled.
For my own part, I rather doubt the truth of
this, and 1 do not believe that the doings of such
rabid Abolitionists, will meet with the concur-
