Alford, of Sampson County, in Ibat State, who was killed on the night of the 0th iu.tant, while on his way borne from hunting one of his horses, about !) o'clock at nigiit. it appears, from the munr.er in which the hushes had been cutout, thnt the assassin had prepared a place ou tho road-side, from which he shot him in the back, sending a number of large buckshot through his right arm and into liis body.— He kept his scat in his saddle for some fifty or sixty yards, when he fell, and i-ls foot fastening in the stir rup, he was dargged some ten or fifteen yards. Tho horse ran home, his saddle covered with blood, and the murder was soon after discovered by his afflicted family. Mr. Alford was a worthy man, a useful citi zen and a consistent member ol‘ the Methodist Church. JJo olj.o is y*l obtained cither to the causo bf the murder, or to the person who committed the horrid deed. Opinion of <t Northern paper.—-The editor of the „s« York Albany 'Journal has almost gone mad be cause Congress has done the South justice in the set tlement of the Texas and Territorial questions: Lis ten how he raves under the head of another triumph of the South! , “Freedom’s Banner trails in tile dust at \\ nslnng- tion I Slavery has achieved anuthpr triumph I '1 wen- ty-five tliousnnd square miles of I-ree Soil has, in the last halt of the 19th century, by an net ot the Arne- rican Gongrcnp, been uuirendereq to Slavery!

Northern throats are hoarse with rejoicings at the victory oh- taint'd by Slavery over Freedom I Oh that som* avenging angel would blot out the disgraceful record that oui posterity might be, spared the mortification of blushing at the degeneracy of their Fathers 1" The Journal says : Twenty five thousand square miles ol free soil lias, by the net of an American Con gress, been surrendered to sluverv." If so. shull the people of Georgia disolve the Union for it i Did the following comments upon the above par agrsph, by the editor of the New York Express, es cape our eotemporary’e notice? While he is giving the opinions of the Northern papers on this subject, wc think it is hut due to his renders thnt he should give the views of the sane ns well as those of the in sane. The editor of the Albany Journal is a rabid, free soil fanatic, whose implacable hostility to nur in stitutions and utter contempt for the remonstrances and thrents of the South, will not permit him to be content with anything short of an immediate and un- condition-1 surrender of every right claim--d by our people; while ti-o editor of the Express heliums to the politic school of Northern anti-slavery men, who nr-- to be found in both the old polilical parties, and who are in luvor of procecdi-ig by slower and more prudentsteps towards the accomplishment of the grand object of the North, which is the prostration of our domestic inst-tuti ns. Are not then tile opin ions ot the latter entitled to quite us much weight ns these of the former J—and should not a press wh eh seeks to enlighten tho people of the South in regard to the views of our opponents, give the so- bcrreuHouing ot ih-- nno in preference to the insane ravings of the other? if nur cotemporury does not prefer “darkness rattier tbun light,” and if Its would himseli not-blindfold the people” let him publish tho Allowing Opinions of a Northern Taper. — “Freedom’s Haulier” not being trailed in the dust hy se curing for that a banner California with an extent of teritorry on the Fauitic that sttrcchcs tlio dis tance of Cape Cod frt m Charleston, S. C., tiny, by the exclusion of slavery from the whole borders of the Pacific Ocean, we must look ior the triumphs of sia very wo eupoae first in New Mexico and second ill Utah. New Mexico if we may judge from Iho expression of tliePeople of New Mexico, who inserted a Wilmot Proviso in their State Constitution is, ns safe ns Cali fornin was with a like Proviso in that Constitution. To extend slavery there as all Northern men contend and as Courts in the Sl"Ve States have often derided, it first becomes necessary to repeal the local Mexican anti-slavery law. As that however, is not repealed and is not likely to be,—“Freedom’s Iinnncr,” we np- preheud does not trail much in New Mexico. The Kditor of the Journal only indulges in figures of speech a;id flourishes with his rhetoric. “Freedom's Banner" then, must be in great peril among the Mormons of Utah. The Mormons must tie going to introduce slavery. But they will meet with n difficulty at tho onset, and that is, they have got to repeal the anti slavery Mexican law, which forbids the creation of slavery in our Mexican acquisitions, un til it is created by law. In the Utah Territorial act is an article t'nrbiddhug any legislation at all upon the sub ject of slavery. But then, if the Mormons were nei- or so much disposed to huve slaves, there would be no profit in holding them.—Their climate, ill the main, corresponds with that ol' New England, ami Northern New York, and nobody there would be hired to support even a family of slaves, old men, women, and children, for the work the able bodied among them would do. In addition to all sueh con siderations as these, however, the religious creed of the Mormons is ns adverse to slavery as that of the Clunkers. No Mormon cun hold a slave, and yet be a Mormon. Besides there is no disposition to have New Species of Cotton. Col. Greene, whose highly cultivated plantation is on the Iil&nd opposite this city,, has leit. on nuf Round Table, ’where they can be seen tiy the public, three branches taken from Cotron stalks now grow ing on his ground. Tho Seed from whieli the Cot ton was grown wero sent, about two years since, to the lute Capt. SwiNNEV, of this city, by whom they were given to Col. Greene, with a view to ascertain, by planting them, tho qualities of tho species; but Col. G. did not learn the name of the Cotton, net- lrom whence the seed came. This is tho second growth from the seed,,-the firs'--planting having given him only a few stalks, from which he saved the seed which he planted this year. The stulks now stand ing, measure about five feet in height. The limbs are from 12 to 14 inches in length, and are covered with bolls, some of which have opened, yielding a short staple Cotton of remarkable fin- m-ss. The greatest peculiarity of the plant is the large number of bolls which it bears—as nluny as 130 having been counted on a single stalk, and 10 bolls on a limb only that number of inches in length. The bull opens treely. and tho Cotton adheres well to tile boll, which ren ders it less liable to be beaten out by the weather than ordin l-y Cotton, The limbs, from which the stem of the bull shoots, not at the joints or forks, us in other Cotton, being short, the plant can be more closely cultivated tliuu any other, Col. Gbeene thinks ihat four plants could.be accommodated on the space ordiuurily occupied by two. The pluut bus theappearunce of Doing very hardy,and certainly is— jud-ting fioin the flourishing condition of those on Col. Gbekne’s plantation—well adapted to our soil But few of tho bolls on the limbs in our possession are matured, and us we did not learn the time of planting, we are unable to speak of the time required to bring the species to maturity. Col. Gbeene. whose judgment in sueh matters is better informed Man our own, thinks very favorably of me species, both in regard to its quality and productiveness.— Perhaps some of our planting triemis have received some of the same seed, and will be able to give tho public further information in regard to it. The Rumored Cuua Expedition.—From all parts of tile country we hnve rumors that another Cuba expedition i-. on loot, and our own citizens for some days past have been excited by the various re ports. The fact that there is considerable activity at the various navy yards is adduced ns a proof that government lias some knowledge of n new move ment on the part of Gen. Lopez and his followars. A correspondent of the Ijew York Herald has the following, which trenches on the marvellous: “We learn that nt least half a dozen ships are or dered to get reudy to sail to Cuba, and that six thou- ssnd men are enrolled for the new invasion ; buty what is more important, wo understand thnt Mr- Webster is luvoiably inclined to enter into liegotia. lions tor the purchase of Cuba, by a quadruple trout, witli .Spain, Great Britain and France.” Some wag of a typo in our city, on Friday night last, took advantage of the excitement, and deter mined to have a joke at the expense of the public. Ho had a gulley of pi set up, to which he affixed a startling heading, announcing “Another Landing o' Troops at Matanzas!" “Great Excitement at Havanal” ‘Tremendous Battle!” &c. &c. A few prefatory lines informed the render that in consequence of the nb- si-nce ot the translator th“ Captain General's procla mation and the details of the affair were published as received I Tile knowing ones merely rend the head, pocketed the slips, and then disappeared. The news, however, spread like wild-fire, and a great rush was made to the oflice of the Morning News, by those who supposed that, as a mnttcr of course, we were fully posted in the news. We saw an old gentleman, with specks, at 10 u'clock nt night, looking over the slip, and apparently much interested with its con. tents 1 We have not ascevtained whether he suc ceeded in translating it to his satisfaction.

We had the pleasure of a call on SuturdHy, from Mr. Parham, Editor and Proprietor of he Chatta- noogu Gazette. Mr. P„ is tho pint meet- of tho press in Lower East Tennessee, having located himself in Chattanooga some fourteen years ago, when the piacewas scarcely to bo called a town, and when it was not known out of sight of the smoke of tlie few cabins that occupied its site. The Gazette, growing with the place, bn* become a large and prosperous paper, aud now affords an excellent medium for the auvcrtiseinents of our morclmuts who desire to in vite the trade of that rapidly improving section of our sister State. A business intercousse between ' Chattanooga ,.nd Savannah has been growing up since the comply tion of our State Rond to that point, and it ouly needs a little fostering hy our business meu to render it a source of great commercial ad vantage to beth places. The natural tendency of the trade of the adjoining districts of Tennessee is to Savannah, and there is no surer way to secure it than for our merchants to inform the people, tbrouzh tlie medium of the press, thnt they are prepared, as we know they are, tu supply their wants on ns reasonable terms as they can have them supplied else where. A liberal eytein of advertising, under such circum stances, may always be charged to profit— never to loss. THE Spirit of Compromise in Congress.— The great Compromise is hut a few weeks old, and we have the following as itsfiruita. The proposition to abolish Slavery in the District of Columbia having been madeinthe Senate a few dayssinco,received first four, and atterwards nine votes 1 The snme prop osition in the House, on Thuesday received F1F i Y- (two votes, and sevytty tacit votes or dodges. The majority of the Northern men voting, voted for the measure. Setting down the Northern dodgers at fifty, wo have this hopeful assurance—that there ate in the present Congress at least one hundred members from the free States, who will either rote for or will not vote agninst tbo proposed mea«urc. These are indications which should not be overlooked by our compromise friends in their rejoicings over the glo rious settlements, by which peace bus been obtain ed and “the country caved.” rightitis hard to deny, or the equality of enjoyment. But the South being unlucky in tho settlement of the«e acquisitions, an si-ti-tlnvery people having nre-occupii il California, New Mexico nnd Utah, de manded a partition of these Territories, and a dedica tion of nil of them South of 36 30 to Southern i mi- irration, that is, to slavery. Has the South got that demand! Is the ultimatum of the Nashville Conven tion the actof Congrsss? Oh no!—hut how then is “Freedom’s Banner trailed in tho dust,” und how then has "slavery obtained a victory." “Freedom's Banner" thus being triumphant in all alilo'-nin, anil in New Mexico and Utah, Texas musf have got some 25.000 square miles “to curse with slavery,' thnt did uot belongto her. and the Ten Millions Texas Bonds must have educed the Northern members into this base surrender of Freedom to Slavery 1 Well, let us examine this harsh accusa tion If New Mexico pot more than belonged to her. under old Mexico, nothin" was lost to - Freedom.'’ New Mexico. East of tho Rio Grande, as hounded by Pearce’s Boundary Bill, tlie act that passed, i i foil one degree of lougitnde longer than was the real New Mexico; and all that part of the New Mexico, North of 36 30, and East ot the 104t degree ot Ion- gitude, if. is never pretended belonged to New Mexi co when under old Mexico. Congress secured to New Mexico thousands of square miles beyond that New Mexico, of which Santa Fc was the capital. The fact that Mr Clay’s Omnibus Bill secured to "Free dom,” 25,000 square miles more than Mr. Pearce’s Boundary Bill does, is unquestioned—but let them, who killed the Omnibus settle -hat ivi h their con stituents. Congress, in Pearce's Boundary Bill, not only extinguished the too often recognized claim. which Texas had to nil Territory East of tile R'o Grande, but extinguished the unquestioned Texas li’le to all North of 36 30 aud to the Territory between N w Mexico on the East and the 1 t'OfAt d-erce of longitude. It is nthr falsehood to say Congress surrendered to Texas 25.000 square mils of Free Territory. The North lost over 25 000-quare miles of T.-xn- Territo ry. by tho overthrow of Mr. Clay's Omnibus—und that is solemn truth. Now if nur worthy cotempornry can controvert these “opinions of a Northern paper,” or if he can show us that there is anything in this view of tlie case thnt approaches to anything like a fair adjust ment of the matters involved in the slavery ques- tion, nnd whieli should'cause the Southern people to congratulate themselves upon the consummation of the coiiinrumise scheme, then we will agree to cense all opposition to measures which wc have not the com prehension to understand, nnd never murmur more. We have never de-ired to obtain any advantage over the North, We have felt that wo had a right to de. maud justice in the settlement of this question, but have always been willing to compromise much of even right and justice fqr the sake ef peace. The Seminol Delegation and the Florida Indians.—The Fort Smith Herald, of the lst inst.. informs us that the.detachment of Seminoh-s, from Florida, under the charge of Maj. Garnett, U. S. A, arrived in that town ou their way to their home in the West. Among the detachment are the members of tlie delegation thnt went from that country a few months ago, to Florida, to try to induce their Sem inole brethren in that region to remove West. They inform the Edit >r of the Herald that they have uot been very successful, and that the Florida Indians would not freely meet and hold council with them. At ono of their interviews a Seminole Negro Chief attempted to persuade Bowlegs to emigrate, which highly incensed him, and Bowlegs replied that he would hold no talk and transact no business with any delegation who wero compelled to hnve a Negro Chiel as titeir spnheenrn. The Seminole delegation are ol tlie opinion that the Florida Indians cannot be re moved hy force—that their hannn icks are iuuccessa- ble, uml that they could continue a war on the whites for twenty years.

Cengicsaioiml Proceedings. Til the Senate on Tuesday, the bill to provide for tlie payment to Mexico of the third instalment, under the treaty of Hidalgo, was taken up, and after debate, was passed. The Senate then took up the bill malting tempora ry provision for the working and discovery of gold mines in Caliiornia, nnd preserving order in tlie gold mine districts. The hill was variously amended, nnd was not dis posed of when the hour had arrived for the recess.
