Milan.
It, Cathedral-Palace of the Viceroy—The Austrian
Army—Italian Church Customs—Milan Indies.
Milan is well worthy of the title of -Grand," and
Uapoleon honored her claim to the appellation when
he selected her as the capitolof the Italian peninsula.
Her present population is 133,000, in the zenith ot her
glory it exceeded 300,000. In the course of her history
she has sustained 42 sieges, and been 24 times taken
by assault. She ia now in subjection to the power of
Austria. „ ,
The Cathedral of Milan is one of the seven wonders
k;f tlie world. It has a paved square before it.
The immense palace of the Viceroy stnnds upon
the left and faces the square. Before the gates oi the
palace nre posted two brazen field pieces, mounted
upon carriages, with accompanying powder tumbrils
at their side, in constant readiness for Service. At
noon every day regiments of the line are reviewed
before the palace. The uniform of the Austrian ar
my is novel and beautiful, the coats being white and
the pantaloons blue. The caps of soldiers nre moun
ted with colton pompons, colored yellow and black,
while the caps of the otUcers display plumes of black
or green. The.coats are faced with either violet, red,
■green, azure, black or yellow cassimere. No epaulette
are worn. Stara upon the collars are put to denote
the rfink.uf the minor officers, and gold collars with
stars of.aiWcr to represent officers of euperior rank.
The owordk Used ore all very long and nre of n curv
ed or sabre form. They repose in scabbards of steel
highly polished,—the sword belts and suspension
straps are of gold. The sashes nre either of gold or
of rich yellow ailk. The buttons worn are always
plain. The music of the band sounds with thrilling
etiect upon tile nerves. All the instruments are ot
brass and of grpot volume. The drums sound hke the
humming melody of a thousand beehives. The bass
drums are ss large that they arc conveyed upon a
two wheeled contrivance specially adapted for the
purpose. Almost all the officers and soldiere have
been under fire and won medals and drosses, which
they" wear upon the breast, suspended by ribbons oi
a blood red color. The appearance cf the Imperial
column at noon, in front of the Cnthedml, is truly
brilliant. The effect of the sun upon an army, clad
\n cdsts White as the driven snow, is remarkuble be
yond expression, and when music swells along the
ranks, the grandeur of the scene i9 complete. It is
tben thst the profession of the soldier looks inviting
and fascinating.
But every picture has its da: !; ride, and so has war.
After seeing one of these reviews, in the course of a
walk, 1 found myself at the extreme end of the city,
and upon mounting the green rampart to gain a
commanding view, the fim object that I beheld was
the spacious arena ofthe military hospital, filled with
•invalid soldiers, some sick from wounds and some
irora diseases. Some were in the sun, some in the
shad?, and iipmo under trees ; all were moving about
likpfljlotted spectres. The triumphal bnnuer, mu
sic, the snowy coat, and the waving plume were
gone ! and nothing but a living grave-yard remained
behind.
Almost all the churches and many of the palaces
of Milan have angels upon there tqps. Some sprve as
trumpet blowers, some as preachers, some ns cross
bearers, 6ome as shield bearers, Bnd not a few as guar
dians. As they are much exposed, being out in ail
Weather and constantly on duty, they arc very provi
dently furnished with lightning rods for their protec
tion. Sometimes when there Is a row of angels to
gether, a good stout iron wire passes along from the
wing of one angel to another so as to pass ofi'the elec
tric fluid ia case the lightning should happen to strike
any of the company.
The other day I noticed the-procession of the Host
issue from the main door of the Milan Cahedral, on
its way to administer its consolations to the dying.
The bellman marched first, carrying in his hand a
■large brass bell, like such as are used on board steam
boats to summon passengers to pay their fare. He
‘waa.dlothed in scarlet. As he rang the bell every
Aneebowed, and every head was uncovered, while
•carriages and boaBts of burden paused in their course.
iStexf 'fellowed the canopy over tb* Host, which was
alao of scarlet, the robes of the priest were likewise
scarlet, and the candle bearing boys were also clad in
icarieti even the ceremonial boxes were of the same
cSlor. In Home,sciirictnnd purple arethefahion. The
Sacred College of Cardinals (seventy In number), and
The Pope himself, dress in scarlet—aud wear scarlet
hats, and even scarlet shoes.
"Thecarriages of the Cardinals and of the Pope are
«talh?^i «s the omnibuses of America; they are lined
■jBliide and painted outside scarlet. The trappings of
tho horses, the liveries of the coachmen and rootmen
the uniform Of die Papal guard, and the garniture of
the papal throne and tootstool, are of the same flaw
ing color- A Cardinal has three footmen—one to
help him out of the carriage, another to support his
scarlet robe, and another to carry his scarlet parasol.
When the churches are decorated they are almost
invariably hung with scarlet and purple.
The Italian people are fonfl of employing on almost
all occasions hgures for emblems. For example, the
litter th it conveys the sick to. the hospital has the im
age of a bird upon tjia top, with a palm branch in its
mouth, and the porter at the hospital door on a Sab
bath day 6tnnde with a latge metal plate with a human
skull upon it painted black, to signify - collections re
ceived for the dead." At a funeral of a child the bo
dy ia conveyed to the church in a box covered with a
rosy pall, with a wreath upon it,and is borne thither by
four boys dressed as angels, each of the boys’wearing
• -.pair of wings made of boards fastened to his bnck
and painted very angelically. The crowns, of tbeir
heads are liberally powdered with ryeflour to repre
sep the ashes of mourning.
A 1 Matshia, in the celebration of the astumptlon of
the Madonpa, a huge car is introduced, forty feet high,
supported by iron machinery, and very fancifully
decorated- This car is drawn through the streets for
three days. The base represents a tomb occupied by
a,choir Chanting over the body of the Madonna. The
twelve SPOBtlea are-in attendance, personated by
youths of good families.
Above them is » -circle that revolves horizontally,
with children attached p? it representing nngels an-
dar.aiargc Sun and .Most) that turn vertically, with
Six Ihfants aa cherubim suspended at tho ends of the
principal rays. The infants and children suffer ex
ceedingly in sustaining the parts assigned them and
when taken down, are, not unfrequently, half dead
from fright and fatigue.
As to the girl who personates the Madonna, I was
informed that it was always deemed prudent to place
her under .the custody of the police for some dayi
afterward, to aave her from the infatuation of tin
lower orders, who would, unless thus restrained, tear
the hair off of her head for relics.
The lungs, it is well known, 6Uetaiu only a subordi
nate part in the economy of life. In one of the Rom
ish parade's, a boy, who had been gilded over and
exhibited to represent the Golden Age, died in conse
quence of the obstruction occasioned to- the vessels of
circulation.
The ladies of Milgn dress themselves with much
propriety. The chief aim appeurs to be to emulate
each other in simplicity. The gay colors so common
totioutheru Italy are seldtfm worn by them. They are
accustomed to brush their hair completely from the
forehead nnd temples. This practice causes them to
appear as neat as Quakeresses. Capes of lace am worn,
fitted neatly to die bust, with a narrow nablc collar, hid
by a plain pink or azure colored ribbon. s During tho
revolution it was the tri-color.
The hats are of the cottage form, rather small and
cut in a very modest stylo: Tho favorite flowers a-
mong the ladies are the camella and dahlia. Their
hats have generally upon die -left side a large full
blown cameliaor dahlia, without any other accessory.
The bouquets for ladies are principally formedof these
flowers, and the garlands and floral offerings cast
upon tlie stage to popular cctresscs, are* of the same
composition.
Speaking about hair, it may not be a miss to say
that the ladies of Sorrento, tlie birth place of Tasso,
braid their tresses und then arrange them in the form
of a wreath, such as artists are wont to place upon the
brow of their favorite bard.
In Italy, toward the going down of the sun. the to
dies are accustomed to repair to the balconies of
tlieir habitations and to occupy diem until the eve
ning shndeshave nppenred. At that pensive hour the
balconies ns frames, enclose pictures more beauti
ful thnn any in the noblest galleries of the Italian
capitols. ’
New Episcopal Church. We understand that the
Episcopal congregation, of this city have raised
by subscription the sum of Ten Tliousnnd Dollars,
for die erecdon of a New House of Worship. It
is intended to occupy the site of the present Church.
The House is to be ot the Gothic order, eighty six teet
in length and fifty in width, with a tower, buttresses,
&c. The walls are to be thirty feet, and the tower
eighty-four feet, in height. The choir and side gal
leries are to besuspended from the roof. Tlie ground
floor will contain ninety-four pews, and will afford
space enough to seat nearly eight hundred persons,
or one thousand in the entire building. 3 he Church
is to be heated by a furnace in the basement, and the
entire interior will be finished in tlie most approved
style of taste. We have glanced at a rough plan ot the
building, and feci confident that it will be highly credi-
tubie to the city and to the enterprising members ot the
congregation, who have contioutod so liberally to
wards its construction.—Macon Messenger.
£5f A Boston letter writer, who dates 29th ult.
Cotton is now talking a kind of Bnbel-lnngunge.
She speaks not with a hundred tongues, but ahundred
ways Willi one tongue. She lias not, like Argus, a
hundred eyes; but sees a hundred wnys with one eye.
She works not like Briareus, with a hundred arms,
but at a hundred things with one Rrm. The Anniver
saries show thus far that the elements are pretty well
bnlnnced here. One vast congregation listens to Dr-
Stone on Peace: another listens with deep interest to
Dr Roeers on American Education-, Dr. Adumsclaims
his share of attention. tlie Hon. Mr. Palfrey gives to a
vast concourse of Unitarians interesting reminiscen
ces of the loved and gone. The long beurded Bu hey,
W Phillips, and W. L. Gn.ri-on, with less molesta
tion than in New York, bark with commendable skill
at the colossal shadow of Webster. When Jove is
present they are humble nnd silent; but when he is
gone they boastingly tell what they will do when they
see him again. Other things nre going on; but I
hnve been here but one day, and of course have not
seen all yet.
Resignation of Commodore Stockton.—A corres
pondent of the Tribune says that Commodore Stock-
ton has resigned his commission in the Navy.

votes were polled, and the following gentlemen elect
ed Officers of the Company;

New Omnibus Line.—Another indication of the
advance of our city is the establishment of a new
line of omnibuses by Messrs. Gass, Bell St Co.
Our citizens are indebted to this new line for a re
duction of fare from 50 to 25 cents. The omnibuses
are of the first class, and are mnnaged by obliging
and ekilful drivers. They deserve a liberal share of
the public patronage.
I. O. O. F.—The Grand Lodge of the State of
Georgia, which has been in session for some days in
our city, closed its business yesterday afternoon, and
adjourned sine die. The most important business
before it was the question of the removul of the
Grand Lodge from this city, and after a full discus
sion. the Lodge determined that hereafter its annual
communications should he held in the city of Macon.
The la6t session of the legislature of this State gave
permission to the Grand Lodge to hold its annual
communicationc.at such place as they should deem
proper, and now that they have determined upon the
city of Macon as the most central point, it will only
require the permission of the Grand Lodge of the
United States, which will acquiese.
The following gentlemen were elected officers of
the Grand Lodge for the ensuing year, and were in
stalled into their respective offices yesterday after’
noon.
E, H. Roobbs, of Augusta, M. W. Grand Master
Merritt, of Griffin, R. W. Dep. Grand Master,
M. T. Hunter, of Louisville, R.W. Grand Master.
Geo. Patten, of Macon, R. W. Grand Secretary,
Jas. M. Bivins, of Macon, R. W. Gran 1 Treasurer.
Rev. Caleb W. Key, of Madison, R. W. Grand Chap
lain.
E. C. Graniss, of Macon, W. Grand Marshall.
J. A. Knioht, of Macon. W. Grand Conductor.
Wm. Dibble, of Macou, W. Grand Guardian.
The following gentlemen were elected Right Wor
thy Grand Representatives to the Grand Lodge of
the United States which will hold its annual com
munication in the city of Cincinnati the ensuing fall.
Past Grand M. Woodruff 1 , of Columbus.
Past GrandS. Cohen, of Savannah.
The Nashville Convention.
The Southern Convention assembled at Nashville
on Monday at 3 o'clock P. M„ nnd was onlledto order
by Ex-Governor BnowN, of Tenn., alter which pray
er was offered by Rev. J. B. Ferguson,
The following States nre represented in the Con-
vei tion—to wit: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgin,
Mississippi, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and
Virginia,
The Convention resolved to vote by States, each
delegation counting one. Tho following officers of
tlie convention were then elected.
W. L. Sharkey, of Mississippi, President: Gover
nor McDonnld, of Georgia, Vice President; Wm. F.
Cooper and E. G. Eastman, of Tennessee, Secreta
ries.
Tho President stated the object of the Convention.
It was not to dissolve, but to perpetuate the Union.
They met to consult on what measures it was deem
ed propei to adopt to avoid disunion.
After some discussion witli regard to the cre.dcn
tials of the Delegatee, it was ordered that a Commit
tee of one from each State, should be appointed to
receive and regulate all the names of the Delegates
present.
On motion ofR. B. Rhett, the Convention adjourn
ed to meet on Tuesday.
The Convention met pursuant to adjournment.
After prayer, Mr. Rhett, of South Carolina, mov
ed that tne parliamentary law of Jefferson's Manual
be adopted as the rule of the Convention, which was
finally agreed to after much and warm discussion.—
Several hours were consumed in taking the vote by
States, ns it required time to ascertain the sense of
the delegates from each State.
Alter the adoption of rules for ita government, the
Convention adjourned till Wednesday.
Thus we have a brief sketcli of the first two days’
proceedings of this important convention. It will he
seen that only nine out of the fifteen Southern States
are represented.
This fact is deeply to be regretted by every true
friend of the South, nnd of the Union, ns it musthnve
the effect greatly to diminish the influence of the con
vention, if it does not entirely defeat the ends sought
to be attained by tlie friends of the movement. A full
representation would have constituted the convention
the exponent of Southern views and sentiments, and
would hove given it full nnd binding authority to act
for the Southern States collectively in the emergency
which now threatens the dissolution of the Union.
The resolves of the convention would then have been
sanctioned ns the will of the Southern people, nnd its
exactions or concessions would have been ratified by
their unanimous assent. The chances of rash or im
proper action would have been diminished, and the
highest authority given to its decrees. As it is, we
fear little good will grow out of its deliberations.
Its recommendations will be freely canvassed—by
some they will be approved, by others they will be
condemned, either because they are too’exacting, or
because they yield too much. No ground that the
convention may take will bo considered common
ground, and tho result wilt be to leave us just where
we are now, without union, without harmony, and
without confidence—to which will be auperndded tlie
mortfiention of a signnl failure to act in unison for
the common good. We think the day is not far dis
tant when those who have been prominent in oppos
ing the Southern Convention will regret their course.
We see it stated in a telegraphic despatch in the
Charleston Courier, that the Compromise of Mr. Clay
will not be approved by the Convention. Should it
not, the expectations of many will be disappointed,
and if that body should fail to recommend some bet
ter possible plan of adjustment, its authority will, as
we have intimated, be repudiated by a large portion
of the Southern people, who are anxious for a settle
ment of the Slavery question upon terms which will
meet the views of moderate men of all sections.
sible, more firmly thnn ever covincr.d that the Union
was identical with the safety, prosperity, and glory of
the country.

astic cheers nnd mutual congratulations, presented ns

Hail. We understand u severe storm of hail fell,
fifteen or twenty miles above Columbus on the 31st
nit. The damage to tlie crops is represented as seri
ous. After several days of intense hot weather, on
Wednesday evening, uheuvy rain fell, which contin
ued in heavy showers for 30 hours.
Prisoners in Cuba—Mr. Foulhouze left New Or
leans on Thursday, on the Falcon, for Havana, taking
with him a petition signed by many of the most re
spectable resident Spanish citizens of New Orleans,
soliciting the pridon and release of tlie Americans
captured in the late expedition to Cuba. Tho Pica
yune heard that another petition was in circulation
among the citizens generally for the same object, to
go forward by the first opportunity.
Cotton Crot. The Huntsville Democrat of the
23d ult., soys, there is a general apprehension among
planters in this section of country, as to the present
cotton crop. There have been such frequent and
heavy rains, that the crops in the low lands have been
flooded and destroyed in some instances, aud those
on high land have been greatly injured. Cold nights
and winds have greatly increased the injury. Some
planters express the opinion that they have not half
u stand, and we have heard of u me who expect to
make a full crop.
Disaster at Sea—The brig Carlton, Capt. Per
cv, from Boston, arrived at this port yesterday, Capt.
Percy informs us that on Sunday last, the 2d inot.

rero, 51 days from Buenos Ayres bound to New
York. The brig was totally dismasted, having en
countered a heavy gale of wind from the N. E. on
the day previous at 3 o’clock, P. M. She was per
fectly tight, and the hull not injured. Capt. A.inten
ded to take her to her port of destination.
Capt. Percy, of the Carlton, took from tho Prus
siau brig, Mr. Benjamin Markos, wife and two
children, and brought them to this city.
French Spoliations.—Mr. Buck of the commit
tee of the House of Rc presetitative on Foreign Af
airs, has drawn up a report which will be laid-
before that body thi9 week, in favor of paying
French spoliations. The bill accompanying the re
port proposes to pay $5,000,000. It is said araajority
of the House will vote for it if they have the lime '.
Improvement in Telegraphing.—Messrs.
Westbrook and Henry J Rogers, of Baltimore, have
obtained a patent for an improvement in electro
chemical telegraphs, which, itis said, promises to su
persede the ol 1 systems of telegraphing now in use
as it dispenses with the use of paper, nnd will not
cost one cent per day for the recording fluids.

Senatorial Visit to Annapolis
A correspondent of the Baltimore Sun gives an in
teresting account of tho reception given by the citi
zens of Annapolis to the Senatorial party composed
of Mr. Clay, Mr. Foote, our Mr. Dawson, Mr. Dick
inson, of N. Y., and Mr. Pratt, of Md., who recently
i sited that ancient metropolis, during the temporary
recess of Congress. Tlie distinguished visitors were
escorted by the Mayor and citizens to the cnpitol,
where the formal reception took place. We cannot
refrain from giving a portion of Mr. Clay's remarks
on the occasion, breathing as they do a lofty patriot
ism nnd enthusiastic love of country so truly gratify
ing in these duys of sectional stride and discord.
After the distinguished party had reached the Coun
cil Hall, Mayor Claude addressed Mr. Clay in un
appropriate speech.
Mr. Clay, for himself and in behalf of his brother
Senators, thanked the citizens of Annapolis for then-
kind reception.
1 have said, sir, said Mr. Clay, that we are not here
for the purpose of making speeches—but in the midat
of this scene,—here, where the venerated Washing
ton breathed upon the Union of which yau have spo
ken, the pure spirit which at all times characterized
his devotion to his country—that spirit was not breath
ed in vain—it exists and is felt in every part of our be
loved country, and under its influence the Union, un
broken and without dishonor, shall be perpetuated to
the remotest posterity, (tremendous cheering and ap
plause). And, sir, it "affords me pleasure to sqy, that
n the good work of adjustment, conciliation and com
promise, I have been aided and sustained by patriotic
men of all parties—those who call themselves wliigs
aud those who call themselves democrats, with equal
purity, devotion, and patriotism, have nobly come to
the rescue, und placing a just estimate upon the Uni
on, achieved and framed bv revolutionary valor and
wisdom, have alike determined upon its perpetual
preservation.
"Without making a speech, sir, I deem tlie occa
sion and the place not inappropriate to the uttering of
a sentiment cherished by me, and deserving of being
entertained by all men. It is this,aud I assert it with
great confidence, that that party, whether whig nr
democrat, which at the present time gives the greatest
support to the peaceful adjustment of the difficult
nnd delicate que.-tions at present distracting the na
tional councils, and seriously threatening to disturb the
harmony the Union, will he entitled to and most as
suredly will receive the lasting confidence and grati
tude ot the country, (great and long continued ap
plause.)
"We shall remain with you, sir, but a very short
timo. During our brief stay I have no doubt we shall
greatly enjoy ouraelves. but the pleasure of this visit
will not terminate with it it will he fraught with pleas
ant recollections, aifd when we have returned to the
Senate again, to pursue the duty we owe to the coun
try, I have no doubt, sir, I shall feel cheered, invig
orated and warmed, pot only by the recollection ot
your personal kindness, but by the inspiration which
the n wakened spirit catches from such a scene as this.”
I shnll not attempt to describe the effect of the dis
tinguished statesman’s brief speech upon the audi
ence. 1 question if there has ever been within that
celebrated chamber a more enthusiastic burst of heart
felt rapture. The genuine love which every true A-
merican bears the Union—that is, the love he bears
his country—sparkled in every face. Quiet being in
some measure restored, a movement indicative ot ad
journment was made, but the audience would not per
mit it. A similar scene could not be witnessed every
dav. nnd in unmistakable tones they insisted on hear
ing Mr. Foote. At length that gentleman came for
ward, and in his forcible and peculiar manner eloquent
ly expressed his concurrence in tlie sentiments utter
ed by Mr. Clay. His remarks were brief, but exceed
ingly impressive and well calculated to make the pa
triotic tire in every heart bum brighter.
Mr. Dickinson, of New York, was next called for,
nnd briefly, but beautifully expressed his sense of the
honor done him—his deep devotion to the Union, nnd
ardent desire by every means in his power to promote
the measures of adjustment suggested and advocated
by Mr. Clay. His remarks elicited great applause,
and I think truly deserved it.
We were,, next favored by Mr. Dawson, of Georgia,
who e irnestly desired to be excused, but whom the
audience would not excuse, and, for one, I am very
glad lie was not let off. Mr. D. is a pleasant speaker,
and on this occasion was most happy uttering senti
ments whitii did honor to his head and his heart, and
which justly received the highest approbation, . The
interesting scene was closed by eloquent und. patriotic
language from Ex-Gov. Praft, who, iu-thn most cm
plintic manner, expressed Ms determination to -bus
tain, ns fully as he pcrasibly could, the measures of Mr,
Cluv. ■ The honorable-Senator used the-occasion-to
say, that .although-he hml never questioned tbf inesti-
Port Wine for Europe. Tlie British brig El-
len, tote from Oporto, cleared on Tuesday last from
New York, with a cargo of port wine for London;
after ly ing for a week at the Atlantic Dock, opposite
tho bonded warehouse. It was only deemed neces
sary in this instance to remove the hatches.
New Process of Smelting Iron Ore.—Sir F.
Knowics, in tho London Mining Journal, proposes
An entirely new process for smelting tlie ore and
saving fuel, the loss by the common modes being
made by him at 81 per cent. His plan is to crush the
ore and put it iu gas proof reverberatory ovens. The
fuel is to be decomposed in a separate chamber and
the vapour of carbon passed into the heated mass of
ore; so that the oxygen of the ore, uniting with the
carbon, will leave the pure metal only behind when
the ore is an oxide of iron. When it is a carbonate
of iron he would mix the richer ores nnd allow their
oxygen to combine with tlie carbon of the leaner
ore, thus saving fuel. After the necessary chemical
effect is secured by the exchange and combination of

Late from Nineveh.—The Literary Gazette says

the 18th of March, iu which he mentions the Arab
reports of remarkable antiquities in the desert of Khn-
bour, which have never been visited by European
footsteps, and towards the exploration of which he wu s
just setting out with an escort of Arab Sheiks and
their followers, in all to the number of seventy or
eighty. During his absence on this new track, the
excavations at Nimroud are to be continued by the
parties employed upon that work, which has recently
furnished interesting acquisitions to Mr. Layard’s
collection. One important inscription is mentioned,
and more winged-lions and bulls. Mr. Layard had
received Major Rawlinson's first Exposition ; nnd
though he agreed with him in many respects, he was
not quite satisfied with his chronology, nnd rather
adhered to the statements put forth in his own
work.

Compound Fluid Kx-iract of Conyza and
Styjliugin.
T HIS preparation is a Concentrated Extract, con-.
turning all tlie Active Medical Properties of the
Conyza, (commonly known as Black Root,) and the
dtyllingiii, 6r Queen’s Delight.
These plants have been long used among our South
ern Negroes, and recently by the Medical Profession,
with the happiest results, in cases of Chronic Rheu-
mutism, Ulcers of long standing! und Seconiinry
Syphilis. It is much superior to any preparation of
Sarsaparilla as un alterative, being more active ond
prompt . in-*i4s-operation on tlie system. 'I hese tacts
hove induced the subscribers to present to the atten
tion* of Physicians a fluid extract prepared strictly ac
cording to Chemical and ParmaceuUcal science, de
void of all tlie feculent and inert parts of the roots,
not doubting that it will supersede tho unscientific and
crude preparations hitherto used. *
-Price—$1 per bottle, or six bottles tot f5.
