MU THE MORNING NEWS. BY JOHN M. COOPER. WILLIAM T. THOMPSON, EDITOR. TERMS; Duly Paper, $4,00!!!:: Tri-weekly $2 00 All 7ino Advertisements appear in both papers. 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.

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. © S3 1 A 310 Friday Morning, June 7, 1850. DeKalb Kidemen. At an election, held at the Court House on yetter day, for Officers of the DeKalb Riflemen, fifty-eight votes were polled, and the following gentlemen elect ed Officers of the Company; Charles Ganahl, Captain. Thomas S. Daniell, 1st Lieut. John Bildo, 2d Lieut. Augustus Nenz, Ensign. 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.

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. Tho close of the meeting in the midst of enthusi astic cheers nnd mutual congratulations, presented ns strong a scene of pure American emotion prevailing over all sectional and political or pnrty feeling ns _ ever was witnessed, nnd was well calculated to awak- Barden.

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.

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.

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 the gases, then the ore is expected to be reduced at once under a strong blast in shallow hearths, any needful flux being used at this last process. Namrsof the Italian and Sicilian Cities. The cities of Italy and cJicily. saysacorrespondent of the N. Y.
