For the motion to take them in the order In whioli they lie oil tlm Speaker’s table, there were 11-1 votes, arid 94 voles against it. To got two- thirds for taking them up. in any order, is not prac ticable, at present- The civil and diplomatic bill may be disposed of on Saturday, and next Monday, being resolution day, a hare majority may take up the bills. It 1? one thing to tako them up, and another to pass them. , .... 1 um much inclined to think that the California and the Utah hills will be passed, ill the terms in which the Senate pusseil them, but the Texas bnnn- iln'ry bill and the bill establishing the territorial go- .. rimirtit of New Mexico, are in a laid Way, mid ar fast getting no belter. It must he homo in mind that the elections are goiug on, and that u large por tion of the members of the House, for tho Thirty Second Congress, are to bo chosen between this ami next December, and the present members will not, if-oandidntos for re-election, willingly burn their lin ger* In the menntimo. They feel enter in doing nothing than in taking a eouiso that will ho challenged by their constituents, whether Southern, or Western. Again, the great mass meeting at Macon, Georgia, is about to take pluee, for. the purpose of responding-to the report of the Nashville Convention, and denouncing by name, all who favored the compromise bill. Ail the.Southern Hotspurs are to tie there, prepared—to nso the Roman phrase—for “stirring the lire with the sword." This and other manifestations oi South ern sentiment are to have mi ettoct hero. Meanwhile, the Southern members begin to relent rite more at the ten millions, and are tptite dissatis fied with the boundary line proposed by Mr. 1’cnrce s bill. On tho whole, time is not with the friends of the bill. Every day’s delay diminishes the chan ces of its success, ltissuid that nn effort is to ho made to take up tho Texan boundary hill and keep it under the control of the House, without sending it to the committee of tho whole on the state ol the Union. ... But this ennnot bo without a Violation ot the rules ot the House, particularly the rule (131) that “ all proceedings touching appropriations ot money shall he first discussed in a Committee of tho Wli ole House." Tne bill to establish the territorial govern ment of New Mexico will be moved ns mi amendment to the Texan bill, when an opportunity shall oiler, and with the hope that each hill will help tho other ulinig. < There 1st i be nn effort, perhaps, to substitute fo r the ton millions u provision for tho payment of that portion of the Texan debt for which the receipts from customs were pledged, limiting tho amount to fivo millions. Another, but hopeless plan, will be to permit Texas to extend her jurisdiction over tlint part of New Mexico which she claims,—wo keep ing our money, and site her territory, as claimed by her. whether rightfully or wrongfully. The fugitive slave bill was taken up in the Senate to-duy, mid it was found to be -a difficult subject.— The Southern Senators are in fuvoi oi Mr. Mason’s substitute, which is n, stringent and cffieucious bill for tho owners. Several. Senators deem tho bill as impracticable. Mr. Berrien proposed that the South ern Senators should not discuss tile subject, and see whether the North would do justice, to the Smith or not. Tho Northern Senators contend simply that the law, in order to bo executed, must conlorm witli tiiu feelings and sentiments of the people of tho uon- pluvi holding States. Tho litqtis that Northern sympathies are just now strongly in favor of fugitive slaves. To free negroes they do not offer any shelter or hospitalitybut a runaway is so much caressed that freo negroes arc now going about assuming to lie fugitives, and . phi lanthropists are cautioned against tlio imposition.— Under these) circumstances it will be difficult to ox- onto a very stringent law. Free negroes are so odi ous iff the free .'■Matos that they will, ere long, lie driv en out of tliliin us an incubus upon society; but tho fugitive will he laden with favors and caresses, by way rif insult to thu slaveholders.

Improvement in Marine Propulsion — A tew days ago we had the opportunity ot inspecting, at Messrs. Johnson, Cutmnel) A- Co’s Cyclops ritoel A orks, a remarkable Inproveinent effected in the machinery tor propelling steam-vessels. It is the invention ot Mr. Mackintosh, and is insnuiucraired at the Cyclops Steel Works. The propellers hitherto in use have been invariably made from east metal, and when at rest or in motion are a perleet screw, always at tile same pitch.—The improved flexible propeller (Mack intosh's) to which we refer, is made ot steel, well hammered mid tempered, and set at an tiiigle on the revolving sluift— When rit rest it is n perleet plane, but when in action it forms a screw, and, by the tlcxi- liility (li the sti el, assumes a liner or a coarserpiteh, (■curding to the strength of the adverse action ot the Wider through which it moves. The circuinstance imparts to tiie vessel and machinery an easy action, especially in rough and heavy seas, which bus never been attained by the rigid screws now in use. Propellers manufactured uncording to this patent are nut more than half the weight of those made of cast metal, though the forgings ure the largest yet attempted to be made from steel, it has been ascer tained by experiment, that in point of speed there is u gain (it ill) per cent. In heavy seas or rough weuili. r, this propeller can he easily hoisted on hoard by means of a simple block and tucle, thus saving (lie expense of tile machinery now used for raising the east metal ones; and, from being malleuble and tough,does away with the risk of breakage which nec essarily ensues in the moving of u cumbersome piece of cast metal, in cost there is a saving of fifty per cent. This is considered to be one of the greatest improvements yet made in maritime propulsion. Four of these propellers have already Octm mud 1 mid brought into use ; and, us a ptuoi of the high estimation in which they ure held, it may be stated'"that the Lot ds of the Admiralty have ordered her majesty’s steam-vessel Bee, tho swiftest screw- vessel alloat to he lifted out witli one of these pro pellers m preference to the rigid screw. We under stand tlmt Messrs Johnson, Cambell & Co., liuve made arrangements with Mr. Mackintosh, the pa tentee, tor exclusively manufacturing the propellers from three to eighteen feet In diumeter.—SheJ]itld {Saturday Ain ruing, August si-1, 1850.

Our coteinpomrios of yesterday morning hud tele graphic despatches giving very discordant accounts of the Mass Meeting held at Macon on 'Thursday. The Republican's account states the number in at tendance ut IU0O to 1000, while the Georgian gives the number ut 10,000. We hoped to hear something more definite by lust night’s until, hut tho only ac count tbut reached us was thut of the Georgia Citizen, which characterizes tho mooting as a disunion affuir and a failure. The editor’s account is well calculated for ii Northern circulation, wliifch it will no doubt liuve. It is not very likely, however, that it will do much harm, as the spirit of the article will bo appre ciated gveu by the enemies of tin! South. A gentleman who entile by tho ours lust night in forms us that the meeting numbered about 3000. All Interesting Bridal Hare. The conditions of the bridal race are these -. The maiden has it certain start given, which she avails licrself of to gain u suffi cient distance from the fcrowd to enable her toman- ago her steed with freedom, so as to assist in the pur suit the suitor whom she prefers. On a signal from the father, nil the luirsineu gallop after thu fair one, and whichever first succeeds in encircling her waist with his arm, no matter whether disagreeable or not to her choice, is entitled to claim her us tiis wife. Af ter tho usual delay incident upon such occasions, the maiden quits the circle of her relations, and putting lii-r steed into u hard gallop. durU into tile open plain. When satisfied with her position, she turns round to the Impatient youths, and stretches out her arms to wards them as if to woo their approach. This is themoment for giving tho signal to commence the chase, mid each of the impatient youths, dashes his pointed heels into ids courser's sides darts like the unheeded hawk in pursuit of his fugitive dove. The savannah was extensive, full twelve miles long ami three in width ; and as the horsemen sped across the plain, the favored lover became seen apparent by the efforts of the maiden to avoid all others w ho might approach her. , At length, after nearly two hours’ racing, the num ber of pursuers is reduced to four, who are nil to gether, and gradually gaining, on the imrsui d. With them is the favorite; but ulus I his horse suddenly fails in lilsi*peed; and as she anxiously turns her head, she perceives with dismay the hapless position ot' her lover. Each of the inure fortunate lenders, eager with anticipated triumph, bending his head on the horse’s mime, shouts, at the top ot his voice. “I come, my l’eri I I’m your lover.'" But she, mak ing a sudden turn, and lashing her horse almost to fu ry, darts across path, and makes for that part of the rhummtim (plain) where her lover is vainly endeav oring to gum! on his weary stead. The three others instantly check their career; hut in the hurry to turn | hack, two of the horses arc dashed furiously against | each other, so that both seeds Hiol riders roll over the plain. The maiden laughed, (for she well knew that slm could elude the single horseman,) and llew to tho point where licr lover was. Uut her only pursuer was rarely mounted, and not so easily shaken off'. Making » last and desperate effort, he dashed along side the untidm, and stretching out his arm, almost won the unwilling prize; hut she, bending her head to the horse's ueck, eluded his grasp and wheeled off. lire the discomfited horseman could again approach licr, her lover's arm was around hOr waist; and amidst the shouts of the spectators they return t«- words the fort.—Captain llurslcm's Peep into Tour, kisktan. The Texas Uuundahy Bill.—Tho Washington “Union” of Sunday soys, so strong is tho feeling of opposition to this Bill, on the part of the Northern and Southern Extremists, even the “Moderates” are begin ning to give way. The Editor is assured thut this Bill if it be pressed first, will ho lost liy ill) votes. The Texas Boundary—nislngeiiuousness of the Republican. The Republican of yesterday contains a rejoinder to our article of Wednesday. The editor says we have failed to show how it is that the passage ot Mr. Pearce's Boundary Bill would be a surrender oi slave soil to free soil, and after alluding to tho evi- dence adduced by us trom a leading Whig journal in New York, dismisses it with the remark that “the ■cause of a Southern paper must be weak, which has to roly for support upon the sayings of anonymous letter writors und newsmongers, who are unfriendly to us and our institutions.” The editor kuows very well that tiie paragraph quoted by us expresses the views and sentiments of tUo Northern press generally, and that though It may not liuve emanated from the pen of Mr. Brooks, it was from his own correspond ent, written us it were under his own eye, mid that it would uut liuve been published hud it not met the approbation of those who ure governed by his views. We think such evidence, coming from tho parties themselves, precisely the kind ol evidence tiie people of the South.should have, und that it is entitled to quite ns muclt weight and is less apt to mislead, than the “ unsupported opinions” olthe editor ol the Republican. We adduced It to show thut ut tile North the surrender of Texas wus regarded as u surrender to free sutl, and that thu fact wus used by the press there, as an argument to induce tho North to consent to tiie ten million clause in thu bill. Our cotemporu. ry knows this is the opinion and tho argument of tho Northern friends of the measure, and though he sees tit to suppress the luot, and, doubtless with u view to lull toe upprehensions of his readers—to amuse them with stories of Demon Brides, rubbed Brides, and Guusts—ho knows very well that tho passage of the Texan Boundary Bill, over which he is prepared to exult would uut bo couteinplutcd for one moment by the anti-slavery majority in Congress, hut on tho ground that it is to close the lust utid only outlet oi our institutions to tho territories acquired from Mex ico. Our cotemporary proceeds; Admitting thut a portion of the territory given to New Mexico by mu Boundary bill, belongs to Texas, we hold that its truusler does nut convert it trom slave soil to tree soil. The Hews contends lhat it does. Eueh is the position of our cotemporary, fairly stated. “Yet, strange to say, he is forced to udtmt thut tho lex loci ot New Mexico, toe old local law ivlneh formerly prohibited-slavery, is not in force since its acquisition—that the bill organizing a territorial government for that territory, extends thu Constitution over it, eschews thu Wilmot Provi so, und leaves the country open ulike to the slave holder and his property, und thu free Boiler and his property. He is further forced to admit, that the local law in that part of Texas which is ceded to Hew Mexico, protests the institution of slavery, and that it would remain valid after the transfer, Grunting these tacts, we are uuuule, as tiie public will be, to comprehend tho change wtiich will be ef fected in tho character of the soil by tho cont emplat ed oessiou.” lu tho above extract, wo have italicised the lines which contuiua palpable misstatement of fact. Wo have never made uny such admission, and we chal lenge the editor to prove his assertion. In us much us wo pronounced his statement, that slavery would continue to exist in that portion of the surren dered territory over which the jurisdiction of Texas lnid extended, absurd, toid expreessed the belief tlmt he could not be serious in advancing tin idea so ridic ulous, wo uro at a loss to understand how helms the "brass and effrontery” to make tile assertion. Our cotemporary, with his peculiar views on the subject may sec nothing extraordinary in such u state of things, but we doubt if he will find any of his non intervention friends, either North or South, to allure with him in uu idea, to tho originality of which he has mi undisputed claim. In regard to the lex loci, wo are ireo to repeat that we do not hold it good law in New Mexico or Cali fornia ; and if wc felt assured that our opinion would besustained by tho Ihiitod States Courts, wo should fell much better satisfied in regard to the rights of the South in tho new territories, under tlm Boundary Bill. It matters not, however, what our opinions or the opinions of tho Southern people may ho in regard to this matter, it is well known that ueontrary opin ion is entertained by the editor’s Northern non-inter vention friends, and that upon the validity of tlmt law._they.roly as a substitute for tho Wilmot Proviso, in ouso they are unable to apply the latter to the now territories. Mr. Cass and Mr. Clay, both hold it good against Sluvery extension in the territories.— Mr. Stephens, und other Southern gentlemen;-whose opinions are entitled to consideration, have admitted the validity of the luw, mid it wus upon that ground, as the editor of the Republican well knows, that the Clayton compromise was rejected. He knows, too, Radicalism and Conservatism.—Mr. II. J. Ry moud. of the N. Y. Courier, delivered, the oration be fore the Alumni of tho University of Vermont, lust week, upon “The Duty oi tho Scholar in relation to his Country and Times." According to a report in tlio Boston Traveller, he regarded tho advancement of society as thu effect of two great principles, radi calism, and conservatism—the one urging it forward) the other checking and regulating its speed. The former, without the latter, would destroy, by amir, ehy ; the latter, without the former, by inactivity.— lienee, it is the duty ol the scholar to mingle with so. eiety, not for thu purpose of checking the spirit ut radicalism, hut for the purpose of directing its course and bringing it to right results, and thus secure the real and permiuteul advancement of society. Cotton Crowing iu British Colonies, It will he remembered that wo recently alluded to a scheme which lmd been set on foot in England witli a view to introduce tbe culture of Cotton in the Brit ish YV est Indies. We leant Tom u late number of H'ilmer and Smith's European Times, that n meeting was held in Manchester on tho 30tli alt., composed of many of tho leading merchants and manufacturers to take the subject into consideration. The meeting came to tho conclusion that cotton could be produced in the West nutl East Indies sufficient to supply the demand ot Great Britain, and resol ved to organize a joint stock company, for t»e purpose of giving the matter u fair test. Tho Times says: Although a portion of the company's capital is to levuted to the experiment in British India, it is done The editor of the Republican charges us with having changed our position in regard to the Com promise measure ol the .Senate Committee. In this our cotemporary is mistaken. Then follows an extract from our paper, of May 25tli. in which, after expressing the o inion that the Committee's Compromise hail been lrained with a view to satisfy the reasonable demands ot all sections, we add ’ And though it liiny not (ns it is impossible that any measure should) give satisfaction to the extremes ot either section ol tiie Union, it will, we think, meet the approbation of the cool, d ispassionate judgment ot the American people. In its . progress through the forms of legislation, it inny receive amendment, and amendment may beneeded, but take it all in all in view of the great difficulties which surround tlio question, it is doubtful whether any arrangement mure nccept- abletu tho whole country cun be devised" Now, it would have required very littlo more spnee to have continued tiie first extract to the find ot tiie paragraph, which the reader will see was essential to a right understanding of our meaning, and which would explain wlmt were our views in May last, when the other paragraph quoted was penned. We will insert the balance ol our paragraph, which reads right on from where tho Republican's extract stops, as fol lows : The aspect of tho measure, has changed. Believ in'' as we did at the time, that tiie political divisions of’the Soufli hud defeated the Nashville Convention, which wo lmd favored us a means of harmonizing utid concentrating public opinion among us, and which we hoped would adopt some lair, just and liberal basis ot settlement, we looked to the Senate Committee as the only hope of such an adjustment. Wo were in favor of some compromise, and when Mr. Clay’s measure wus put forth, we expressed the hope that it would "bo so amended and perfect ed” in the process of legislation as “to render it ac ceptable, und satisiactory to the South." In this hope we watched its progress. But when from day to day we saw amendment after amendment from the South rejected, und us in the course of its discus sion, tho character of tho plan became more fully developed, we were forced to the conviction .that from it the Soutli had nothing to expect, hut injustice and wrong. We will leave tiie reader to judge whether the Republican lms quoted us fairly or not. We did not deny that wc lmd favored the Senatorial Compromise ut a time when we believed it to he the only hope for the Soutli. We preferred it as wo understood it, to President Tuylor’s plan, und sp long as there was no prospect of anything better, we favored the candid consideration of thu scheme by the South, alwuys with the trust that it would be so amended as to make it acceptable und just to the South. YVe had ut that time our doubts whether, in view of the difficulties which surrounded the question, a better measure could be devised with any prsopect of its success. But the principal difficulties have siuee been removed. The l’reqjdent’s scheme has been abandoned, uud tile South have become more united, and instead of re pudiating, ns we feared they would, the Nashville Con vention, have determined to ratify its proceedings, even though that Convention was u failure. So much for our positiou then und now, and so much for tho candor of the editor of tlio Republican. But wlmt bettor could we expect from nn editor who steadily persist iu suppressing or misrepresent-’ iug the true state of public opinion North uud South, on a question involving such vital interests to both sections of tho Union; and who labors rather to di vide und distract tlio counsels of our people titan to inform, unite and harmonize public sentiment ut tlio Soutli—who prefers to retail tiie scurrilous abuse heaped upon the people of a sister Stiite by the Northern anti-slavery press, rather than give his renders correct information of tho movements uud aims of our mutuul enemies. Tile editor thinks perhaps we will deny having re published articles from other papers opposed to tlio Nashville convention, and the “Southern lire outers.” By no means. We do not follow the practice of tho Republican of suppressing whatever does not har monize with our peculiar views. Our rule is neither to suppress, or knowingly to misrepresent the truth. We aim to give our renders correct information on both sides, in order that they may he fully informed iu regard to the movements of men and parties in relation to tins great question. Valuable truths are often obtained from the arguments of our enemies, and it is our aim to give our readers the facts, he they wlmt they may and from whatever source. We are more liberal than our cotemporary, and will not presume that he will deny that he sent abroad tho impression that the late meeting in this city was a small party affair, and tlmt the resolutions in favor of tho Nashville Convention were passed by a packed vote. We tiro sure ho will not deny that lie stated iu his paper, in effect, that the Clarke Countv ineotin Shocking Outbaok in Tyler CociT' AS. Attempt by a negro to commit a tape-.pt' captured and hung.

Y’. Recorder gives ibe following from an uddress of Dr, Shackleford be fore tho Eeclesiolugical Society in that city— An organist is eimaged, who pltys popular orchestral music, and the greater the novelty of his effects, the more genius he is supposed to possess. If he be h here- t ic, or infidel, or a libertine, or asot, it is not necessa rily a disqualification for his leading the praise of the house of God. Four singers are then engaged with Sole reference to their musical attainments, and If they liuve a reputation in the fashionable world, so much the better; it adds to their salaries and to the eclat of i ho congregation. Selections and adaptations from Beethoven Mendelssohn, Schubert, or Donizetti, tire served on Sunday by Sunday to the dekirht of the au dience, mm»y of whom come expressly to hear the nausiu. It is very comfortable tor the voluptuous worldling, who frequents the opera dol ing the week, to hear his own favorite music, from his favorite singers, on.Suriday also; and the voice of the preacher, with hi* denunuutions of worldUuess, will seldom lie loiul enough to dispel the echoes ofthe more wel come strains from the gallery, at the opposite end of the church. All tills while the old music is suffered lo lie by forgotten. Yet if it were revived and used as it ought to be, it would ben great instrument in the growth ofttoi'clmmii, and iu increasing the heartiness ol her worship, and the piety and zeal of her mem-. be clear that upon the YY’est the hopes ot the projectors mainly depend. Tho sample of Jamaica cotton, picked wile in that island, which was exhibited to the gentlemen present commanded general admiration, as possessing alt the requisites of quality, length, and strength, and it was shown with much force that the quality of tho raw uiuterialcould he greatly improved under proper regulations. The new body is to he called the " British Colonial Co ton Company,” with a capital limited in the first instance to the nominal sum of £51),(AW; for it was shown that that sum, al though apparently small, was quite sufficient iu the outset to produce results which would secure the ultimate extension ol tho undertaking. One half of the eapitul is to be devoted to Jamaica, where the representatives of the compuny are to be sent; but the inquiry is not to he limited exclusively to that island. In the words of one of the speakers, “ they would examine curefully which ot our colonies was best adapted for the growth of cotton—which had the best harbors, the best roads, and, most of all, the cheapest lubor.” The adventurers iu this speculation will, in tiie course of their investigations uud experimenting learn many, things of which they, are comparatively ignorant now, not the least important of which will he that the labor to be employed in u successful com petition with the cotton growing States of this Union, must not only be “the cheapest labor,” but it unict be reliable labor, which the apprentice and cooley sys tems of the YVest Indies does not afford. New Y’ork by 1’oe. Some little excitement is created iu literary circles, in New York, by the an nouncement of a forthcoming posthumous work from the pen of Edgar A. l’oc, entitled “ The Lite rati," and professing to "show up” sundry of the “ hook men” thereabout. It is suggested that there- will be more truth than Poetry in it. Southerners with their slave property from the ter ritories, and that-to it is to he attributed the fact that the emigration has thus lar been chiefly from the free States. But fur this law, which whs held up us u bur to tho South by the Nortnern majority, it is more than probable that thousands of Southern slaves would now he working tho mines of Califor nia, nnd that the South would be a joint participant, ns she of right should be, with the North in the wealth ot the New Eldorado. The lex loci, in tho absence of tmy action of Congress will continue to deter Southern emigration to New Mexico, us it has deterred it from California, and the result will he ‘that by the time the territorial government is fairly organized if-not before wo will have tlio free State of New Mexico demanding admission into tho Union. In the language of a New York paper before us. “If the friends of Freedom exert themselves to col onize New Mexico with whites, they can be pretty sure of soon having a Free State, nearly as large us Texas, right along side of the hitter." YVith such sell evident tacts, staring us in the face, is it not utter folly, is it not gross injustice to the South to try to disguise the truth—-to try to persuade the people of .Georgia by refinements of sophistry, into a belief that their rights and interests are not sac- 'Tificed by the Compromise Boundary Bill ? The assertion that the “Savannah Morning Hews, Charleston Mercury anil Southern Press are the only papers South of the Potomac” who oppose the Texns boundary Bill, ’s scarcely worth noticing. It is of a piece with the suppressions and misstatements of the Republican, by which its renders are led into error in regard to the true character of the question now agitating the country, nnd the parties to the issue. The editor pays but little attention to his exchanges, or lie kuows that the whole Compromise scheme of the Senate Committee, is opposed by a number of the most respectable journals in tlio Southern country, ns well us by ut least two-thirds of the Southern delega tion in Congress. He alleges that the opposition in Congress is to tho adoption of the Texas Boundary, prior to the adjustment of the territorial question. Y 7 ery well, our opposition extends no further. Let Congress adjust the territorial question by the simplo proceis of adopting the Missouri Line to tho Pacific, with protection to the South, South of that line, aucl our opposition and the opposition of the en tire South will cease at once, so far as these measures are concerned'; and if it will adopt such a fugitive slave bill as will etfectually protect Southern proper ty, as northern property is now protected, there will at once be uu cud to our dissensions und difler- euecs, uud the Union will be preserved and perpetu ated. YVe have alluded to the disingenuous course of tha Republican. Our cotemporary is disingenuous in quoting and garbling our articles iu such a manner us to misrepresent our- meaning. We believe that such artifices areeonsidered not only unfair, but ns evi dence of the weakness ofthe cause which requires a resort to them. YVith a view to make it appear that wc had falsified oursell in replying to hi9 charge of having changed ground on the Senatorial Compromise, our magnan imous cotemporary quotes the following portion of u paragraph trom our article of YVednesday ; One word in regard to our owncourseimd we have Troops in Motion.—The St Louis Republican, of Sunday the lltli, learns that the 7th Regiment of U. S. Infantry, Col. Plympton commanding, just re turned trom Florida, and scarcely encamped nt.Ief feivon Barracks, after severe service, lias received orders from the Secretary of YVur to prepare for dis tant service, and move immediately to Fort Leaven worth. Orders or instructions have also been receiv. ed, to push forward, with nil possible dispatch, the equipment and mounting of the recruits lor the Dra goon Regiments, of whom about three hundred are now at Jefferson Barracks. Upon the above state of. facts tiie Republican comments thus: "YVe know not tho purposes of these movements, but they look very much as if President Fillmore is preparing to support his position on tlio questions between Textfa and New Mexico. The promptness of the movement would indicate a determination to be prepared for any contingency, hut if New Mexico is to lie the theatre, we opine that it is too late for any effective movement on the part ofthe army until next season, unless the fall should be one of ltnuBuai mildness. The firs{ or middle of this month, (August) is very late lor a large body of troops to attempt to cross the Plains from I’Yil't Leavenworth to Santa Fe. * 'f' The Savannah mob has been in motion, it seems, in defence of “the peculiar institution' ’ against tho aspersions of a too plain spoken citizen of S. The lenders stirred up the ‘many headed' by posting handbills all over the city, notifying the lieges that an abolitionist was to be tarred and leathered, the gen tleman having made offensive remarks in the com pany of several ladies nnd gentlemen. He was firsl ordered to leave the city, but having made n written statement, disavowing the offence, tile.excitement after a time subsided.—N. T Express. He who yields himself to Vice, must inevit ably suffer, if the human law dons not convict and punish him,'he moral law, which will have'obe dience, will follow him to his doom. Every crime is committed for a purpose, with smile idea of future personal pleasure; and just as surely as God governs the universe, so surely does a crime, al though concealed, destroy the happiness of tiie’ fu ture.
