denominated matinees or day balls. These general

dosed, gas is lighted, the company assemble, cotil

A Bravx Gixl.—A robber broke into thebouse of
John Fox, F.. Norwalk. Ohio, on Thursday night, 28 th

family, evidently for the purpose of plunder. He
wounded the old man, and his daughters young lady,
but she courageously set upon the villain with a chair
and beat him so that he had to retreat. The brave
girl had one of her arms cut through.
Falling or the Horse Shoe Rock.—The Niagara
Falls Mi says a portion of the rock at the Horse Shoe
Fall, on the Canada side, fell with a tremendous crash
a week ago last Tuesday. The part which fell was
about tenrods long by fourrodswide. Itcnrried
withit a canal boat which had been lodged upon it
for some time. The Jrit says, it seem • 'providential
that it fell at this season of the year; for it is precise
ly the spot where so many continually passed to be
hold the waters ot the cataract rushing terrifically
over their heads, that is now filled with the huge-
muses of rock which have fallen." The appearance
of the falls is said to be not in the least impaired.
Tim Vermont Nullification Law.—The Brat-

tors. The bill Is said to have been "brought out on
the lut day of Hie session, when a large number of
the representatives had left for their homes,
The Republican t—The Lamb-like Be«H>-
IICAn 11
It seems 'hat our brief, and as we thought good
natured reply to the unprovoked attack of our Co-
teroporary, ot the Republican, has had the effect to put
him in a towering passion and to cause him to exliib
it a wolfish spirit towards us rather than that of the
gentle htmb, which he claims to be. It would seem
that not content with robbing us of our principles,
he is determined to convince the public that we have
not an exclusive right to the canine attributes and
character which he himselt attributed to us I But as
we have said, we must not, in future, permit ourself to
be surprised at any thing from the Republican.
The Editor opens hit rejoinder with an anecdote
from Sbidlitz, Frederick the Great’s General of
Cavalry, by which he endeavors to illustrate what be
ealls our hanequinism. For Skidlitz wit we think
it flat, and the Editor did well to point it with a clas
sic quotation. The anecdote is, however, applicable,
he thinks " to our (his) harlequin cotrmporary, of
the Morning Newt.''
We will return the compliment with a pantomimic
incident, we think peculiarly applicable to the case of
our Pant Joon cotemporary of the Republican. Atthe
Fancy Bull given by Oustavus III, of Sweden, on the
night of hi* assassination, the characters of the Italian
Pantomime were all represented, among the rest the
editor's worthy prototype, the Buffoon. Panta
loon, ever with an eye to the main chance, carried a
small box before him, suspended from a leathern
collar about his neck, and with an obsequiousness
admirable to behold, busied himself in ve ding
cakes to the C'Wd—cakes sweetened to the taste of
bit patrons—by which he was enabled to pocket the
dimes at a rapid rate, while, doubtless, the "almighty
dollar ” loomed up to his imagination the size of
a full moon in Indian Summer. At length, in the
course ot bis peregrinati ns, he encountered that mis
chierous fellow, bis bete noire, Harlequin, who dealt
him a blow with his wand, when, in the twinkling
of an eye, the cake-box was suddenly transformed
into a pillory, in which t.-ie herd and hands of the
unfortunate Pantaloon were firmly fixed, while upon
the board in front appeared the significant inscrip,
tion in large capitals—
W H A T A C A K EI ”
We do not say that “the laugh ter of the whole com
munity is excited” at the editor’s awkward predica
ment In the best spirit however, we commend to
his s'udy the moral of the incident.
But let us see what our ” lamb " has to say to our
last article. After copyiug our paragraph, in which
we reminded him of his position last summer, and
the effort which it cost us to convert him to the
South rn faith which he now professes, (and here
we desire to acknowledge his fairness in publishing
the paragraph entire)—he proceeds, in the most un
blushing manner to contradict, in fiat and not very
courteous terms, every assertion made by us.
"This is." exclaimed the editor, "the coolest piece of
impudence we have ever witnessed. It reminds one
of the complacent manner in which Rob Roy was
wont to pick the pockets of the nnweary traveller."
Thus it is, with bis thoughis forever in his pockets—
we may say Pantaloon poexets—our Pantaloon is un
able to remember his own positions or to compre
hend aright the positions of those who chance to dif
fer witli him. He sees in his Cotemporaries only
so many Rob Royt, and his prevailing thought is to
grasp his pockets and exclaim,' ‘thief I robber I fire-
eater 1 wolf 1” We coinmend to him the fable of the
boy who cried wolf v. hen there was no wolf.
"But to tue facts," bleats the “lamb" of the Repub
lican. Very well, let us turn to the facts and the re
cord. The editor replies to our badinage in the fol
lowing grave and not very courteous paragraph.
It is a gross misstatement to charge us with having
taken “gruund-aga nst the Convention”—or oppos
ed “any declaration oi southern rights principles by
the people of Georgia.” It is a gi oss misstatement
so say we “opposed the passage of any resolutions
by our meetings in this city or the adoption of any
platform of general principles by our ddlegates.”
It is a gross misstatement to allege that we labored to
convince our readers “that the South had no cause
of apprehension or dissatisfaction." Each and all
of these charges tire gross, and we fear, wilful mis
statements. and we challenge the News to produce the
proof to sustain its reckless allegations.
mittlng California as to preserve tbeline of 3630 fend
give the territory south of that line a territorial gov
ernment, with protection to southern property.
A series of measures tending to these or timilar re-
tulti, would give satisfaction to the entire South, and
silence forever the cry of resistance and disunion
among our poople. Such a series of measures would
be but justice to the South, and we believe could be
practically carried out by the united and resolute ac
tion of the South.
Is this laying down a platform ? But if the Editor
desired to place us in our true position before his
readers, why did he not publish the iollowing para
graph from the same article from wnich he mnde
his extract. Has he forgotten that some of his read
ers may remember that he was once trapped into its
publication. The paragraph wid show what our
views in regard to the Convention were then, and
our readers will be able to judge whether there is
more inconsistency in our accepting the resolutions—
the ultimatum of th<£late Convention, than there is
in the Editors’ claiming to be the especial champion
of those resolutions, after having declared, in the
most emphatic manner, that he wot, and ever would
be, "opposed to all ultimata.” In our article of Oc
tober 2d, the following paragraph immediately pre
ceded those above quoted:
“We desire to see in that Convention the people of
Georgia of all parties and of all shades of opinion
fully and faithfully represented, by the most intelli,
gent, patriotic and prudent men that can be selected-
Such a Convent! on would be able to conciliate the
conflicting views of our people, and to unite hII par
ties in support of some effective, prudent, and Con
stitutional means ior the redress of their wrongs
and the vindication of their rights. To th» delibera
tion of such a Convention of the people of Georgia-
we are willing to submit the questions involved, and,
to abide by their decision, be it what it may ."
So much for the fairness of the editor of the Re
publican. We can pursue him no further at this
time, and we dislike to take cur leave of him in an
unkind spirit. We pity his Infirmities, and are dis
posed to look favorably upo . his faults. If he will
cultivate the amenities of editorial intercourse
which he sometimes so earoestly recommends to
others, and instead of amusing himself with "impal
ing ' imaginary "butterflies," adopt towards such
insects the more humane philosophy of Uncle
Toby, he will not only consult his own hap
piness, but will establish a better claim to the gentle
cb^racte: he has assumed. There is room enough
in Georgia for the Savannah Republican and the
Morning Newt, and if our cotemporary will but re
fleet that we have an equal right with him to the
common field of newspaper enterprise, and will
banish from his mind the money-mania with which i,
seems to be haunted, he will, in time, come to look
upou us with a more indulgent eye, and then, per.
haps, the lamb may lie down with the wolf with im
punity.

Jenny Lind's Last Washington Concert —
The second and last ocmeert of Jenny Lind in that
city, on Wednesday night, was, if possible, more
magnificent than the first. The hall was more dense
ly filled and the array of beauty and splendor fully
equal. The Rspubdie notices the following interest
ing incidents i
Mr. Clay was again received with the loud acclaim
of welcome. So also was the President. Mr. Web-
•ter, General Foote; Mr. Crittenden, and a number
of other distinguished gentlemen arrived at a late
hour, and. were greeted with a manifestation of the
most intense enthusiasm. -We did not see General
Gass, but upon the announcement of his name the
applause was truly deafening. Indeed, the opportu
nity presented of greeting the great and honored
men of our nation formed no inconsiderable feature
in the entertainment of the evening.
Thesong of "Hail Columbia" was, wa thought, for
the first time, sung as it should be. The audience ap
peared unable to control themselves, under its influ
ence. As soon as it wan terminated. Mr. Webster
rose, and in a truly dignified and impressive manner
bowed bis acknowledgements tor tha gratification it
had afforded him. The lovely 'vocalist returned hfe
courtesy amid immense applause, and she bore from
the stage, as mementoes of her triumph, a number
of exquisite boquets that had been presented to her.
The Union and Intelligencer say also that the sec
ond concert was more crowded and brilliant than the
first, and (says the Union) “the whole multitude
seemed to fee* the spell of an enchantress.” Jt adds
as to Jenny:
We pari with her with the deepest regret. We
know qot which we are more to admire—her moral
qualifications or her musical talents. Her warmth
of heartand simplicity of character have won many
* sincere friend among the thousand admirers who
have been captivated by her musicalgen.ua.
I Correspondence of the N. Y. Evening Pott.]
Richmond, Dec. 15.—The introduction of manu
factures at the south is more general than usually
tupp sed. Not only is theoUraate favorable for cus
tomary manufacturers at all seasons; the soil adapt
ed to the production of supplies; the water power
cheap, permanent,and abundant; the raw material
accessible without freight* or facturage; thn demand
in the same proportion with the materials and'manu
facture, but in addition to all these advantages, there
are some arising from the character an 1 pursuits.
the southern people, which enables them to engar
in manufacture* with more than.ordinary success.
The women ofthi* south have never abandoned
the domestic manufactures of the country. Coarse
woollen, cotton, and linen goods are universally pro
duced. The southern women, aud girls are there
fore already iamilliar with the process of manu
facture, ana readily apply their knowledge and skill
to the more rapid and advantageous production of
the same fabric by machinery. In this they have
possibly the advantage of the females of many
states qfthe north, who, having becu always accus
tomed 'to obtaining, by machinery, every fabric
which lain common use, do not possess the skill nor
have they hod opportunities for observation of the
women of the south.
This may be regarded as theory. But it has been
established by the successful employment ofsouth-
ern wernen and girls in the factories of Go rate —
There is the additional to female industry, that there
4* little employment for them, and conse.qu.-mly lit-
tin opportunity to make an independent support —

The President’s Levee, etc.
Washington, Dec. 18.—Last night Mrs. Fillmore
held her first public levee. It was a brilliant affair,
and pissed off charmingly. I remember no occasiop.
superior toitin eclat, and none that ever commanded
the attention of the frfshionable and curious world in
greater numbers. The side-rooms, reception rooms,
Hnd East rooms, wpre literally jammed, and the hall*
and vestibules without were in no better condition
Mrs. Fillmore was supported by her daughter, and
received her visitors in an easy, becoming, and lady
line manner, perfectly in accordance with the unos-
te.ntaciousness of her general character. Miss Fill
more, though inexperienced, enacted her part most
admira ly, and won universal encomium, tor her
collectedneas, but at the same time accomplished de
meanor, during the trying ceremony. As tor the
President, he was merely a looker on, like the rest
of us. and took no part, except to appear agreeable
—and that required no great effort, where all were
disposed to be gay and happy.
Gen. Scott shone everywhere. His gigantic figure
was seen moving in all.directions.andnotunfrequent-
ly upon the retreat, followed in the route by a whole
bevy of ladies. The army and navy were well repre
sented. but I cannot pause to enumerate the various
distinguet wholived their hour of triumph, and were
forgotten again this morning. Mr. Bulwer, the cun
ning's! of diplomats, wu9 there, and also the French
Minister, with his indy, lookihg (and evidently wereja3
much pleased, as though threading the mazes of the
Tuillerics, under legitimate July restoration, i need
hardly add that the Cabinet Secretaries were present,
smiling, bowing and flatering all in their train, yet
secretly singling out not a few devoted heads, whosiL
prospects for promotion or appointment this morning*
have probably not been bettered by the shake of the
hand cordial and impromptu compliment of la9t even
ing.
ut these reunions are very pleasant, very necessa
ry, and very absurd. They answer to dispel the
cobwebs of the mind, throw off a redundancy of en
nui. and promote the functions of gossip, just as blue
mass answers in imparting tone to the human syi-
tem, after a protracted terpidity of the liver. With
out them scandal and gossip would starve, or open
their batteries upon nearer social circles, and expose
foibles which we prefer to remuin as they are—con
cealed.
We have nothing stirring of a political or diplomat
ic character worth the mention.

How like alamb! But evil associations will have nave probably not been bettered by
their infiuence, and since he has been consorting with J*snd cordial and impromptu compli
wolves, he is to be excused for what would otherwise
be unpardonable in'an editor claiming the attributes Of
a juvenile sheep. It we had made the charges referr
ed to in all seriousness wo would have been prepared
to sustain them with abundance of testimony. As
it is, we have no complete file of the Republican, and
must rely o-> only such numbers as we con at the mo
ment lay our hands upon. Er.t let us see how far
they will bear us out in what we have asserted.
Denial First.—'"It is a gross misstatement to charge
us with having taken ground against the Conven
tion."
In an article on the 3 tate Convention, published in
the Republican of Sept. 18th., the editor says:—
We find the secessionists of this State. THE
FRIENDS of the proposed convention, are tuking the
ground that the -mode and measure of redress" should
be left solely with that body, and that they should
“rally upon true, firm and reliable men." This is all
very well, gentlemen, but it will not do, See.. See
“The secessionists, the friends of the Convention.'
Only the secessionists were the friends of the Con
vention, according to the plain interpretation of the
above paragraph. The Ed'tor of the Republican was
not a secessionist. Ergo—he was not a “friend” to
the Convention. May we not infer that he woe "oppo
sed to it."
-
Denial Second.—"Or any dec laration of Southern
Rights principles by the people of Georgia.”
WE ARE OPPOSED TO ALL ULTIMATA AND
EVER SHALL BE IT IS TYRANNY, IT IS MAD
NESS OF THE WILDEST CHARACTER, TO SAY
THIS OR THAT PLAN SHALL HE ADOPTED.
OR VVE WILL BREAK UP THE UNION AND
DELUGE THE L AND WITH FRATERNAL BLOOD.
VVE SHALL NOT COMMIT OURSELVES, AND
WE TRUST THE PEOPLE WILL NOTCOMMIT
THEMSELVES, TO ANY SUCH FOLLY—Itepub
lican, July 26.
An "expression of Southern Rights principles by
the people ofGeorgla.” in convention, could in our
opinion amountto nothing short of un '•ultimatum.
We could if we chose, and had the space to spare,
show thut the Republican did noi favor the promul
Ration of a platform of principles atthe meeting in
thia city on the 23d of October, and that he ha*
denounced us and others as “ agitators," “ fire-eat
ers” and what not, for publishing extracts from the
New-York Express, and other Northern Union pa
pers, going to show that there was justcauseot ap
prehension that the rights of the South would bo
farther assailed, in his article of Friday last be took
us to task fo thia very offence.
But it is unnecessary for us to parade evidence on
a subject ns well understood by the public as by
ourself tye wish to say a word in reference to
another matter, and close. In the spirit of fairness
which has always characterised the Editor.of the
Republican in his attempts to injure the Morning
News, ho parades what he calls our plstfoim, as de
fined in our paper of October 2d. The Editor knows
perfectly well that those propositions were never
submitted by us as embodyitig our views of what
ought to be the action of the convention. We had
been charged by him with favoring extreme end revo
lutiooary measures, lu reply to his repeated ques
tioning we said:
But the editor asks what remedy we would have
the convention adopt t We would not presume to
propose a remedy. Wo prefer to leave that to abler
beads. But to assure the editor that we do not fa
vor violent, unconstitutional measures, we will sug
gest what we think the South might v, ry properly
demand, and by union and firmness obtain, and
with which we would be satisfied:
1st. Congress should be required at its nextscs
shin to repeal the local law of Mexico, by which tho
South is excluded from the U. 8. territories.
2d. Congress should repeal, or so alter the law ad'

Correspondence of the Daily Morning News.
HAVANA, Dec. 17 1850.
The stock of Sugar is reduced to a very insignificant
trifle, most of which is of soft interior description.
Very high rates have to be paid for whatever is pur
chased; but so little is doing, that quotations would
be quite nominal.
There has been a good deal of rain within the past
ten days, which has retarded grinding, and the op
erations for the manufacture ot new Sugar are not so
far advanced at present, as they were at the same pe
riod last year. Planters entertain high expectations
in reterenco to the approaching campaign; prices are
likely to break high, as there are a number of Span
ish vessels waiting for the first Sugars of the new crop.
We hear of contracts of 1200 boxes florets for Spain
deliverable by 1st Match, at rates equivalent to 7$
and 11$ rials, which may be considered equalto 84
rials lor the Yellows,the nominal price for the Whites
being above their relative value. There were like
wise contracted 4000 boxes at 6 rials, 7 and 10 rials
ter Cucuruchos, Yellows and Whites,deliverable du-
ring the ensuing crop, and immediate cm-h advance,
being paid to the Planters to a considerable propor
tion oi the amount. These transactions indicate in
some degree, the feeling thnt exists at present, based
on the general aspect of the trade.
Owing to the state f the weather, which has im
peded grinding, and mudn the roads in the inte
rior very bad, the arrivals of new Molasses have
been extremely scanty so far. Some dealers con
tracted to deliver all they could furnish by the
end ot January at 24 rials, and by the mid-’Ie of
Junuaty at 3 rials. Engagements were mnde for
single early cargoes at 3 and 34 rials. We do not
near ot any cargo of new Molasses having actually
been dispatched as yet, either from hence or the
neighboring ports. Vessels have been chartered
both here and in Matanzas to carry new Molasses to
England, which assists 4h ke ping up the price, and it
is likely th Ht a large quantity will go on to the same
quarter during the season. At the moment it is dif
ficult to purchase any Molasses for immediate deliv
ery, and 34 rials are being paid in this harbor for
seine small parcels.
Purchases of Coffee have been made, chiefly for
r ranee, at $9 a 10for middling to good. The sup
plies are quite restricted, and the whole crop will
tarnish but an inconsiderable quantity.
As unports of Rice keut out for some time, the
dealers paid 114 rials for 300 casks lu store, and 114
rials for 188 casks brought by the steamer Isabel.—
Alter this, a cargo ot Brasil came in, equal to 500
cu»ks, and five cargoes ot Carolina amounting to
1300 casks, which occasioned a gradual decline, tho
sales having been at 114, 11, 101, aud 104 rials for
1000 casks Carolina.
About half the cargo of the Brazil was placed at
104 rials, for very fair quality, before these heavy
arrivals, and 500 bags Valencia at84 rials. The deal,,,
era have consequently a large quantiv in their stores
at present, and there are in first hands a cargo of
Carolina for which 104'rials is the higuest ofl'er7aud
hall the Brazil.

£2-5| to load with Molassessfer Liverpool. Other
wise we hear of no transactions, except at 62 for Mo
lasses to tho United States. ■ .ft
