The commission of Post Master at Savannah, was received by Mr. Cohbn, two or three days since. He will, wo presume, enter forthwith upon tho dlacbargo of the duties of the office. We need not hesitate to aay that we regard the ap pointment as a good one. Tho ciroumstaucos under which it was conforad make it tbe more honorable to him who has received it. The first intelligence that Mr. Cohen had, that hla narao had been before tho Cabinet in connection with the place, was contained In two telogrephio despatches received at the same time,—the one inquiring If he would accept it, tho other coupling with tho same inquiry, the an nouncement of his appointment. It is a post to which he has well entitled himself by his services to the par ty : Its duties he will doubtless faithfully perform. . Won, Is Inlfoe following words : .V JtmM, that this Convention propose tint the eastern terrain ui of the Georgia and Pensacola Railroad ■ball be on tbe Una of this State, east or the Allapaliaw river and.crt>«a the counties of Hamilton, Madison, Jeffer- . eon, Leon and Gadsden, as far south as their respective county sites. If such routs he practicabls. ’ The puhllo will do well’ to remember that all that conventions can do, and all that newspapers can do, towards fixing the lines of railroads and tho points of oonneetion between railroads is to suggest. The de termination of thene questions rests neither with con ventions nor.with newspapers, but with stockholders, Savannah desires to unite herself by railroad with Pensacola. This work, if done, must bo done under two distinct organizations, tho ono irnido under a charter granted by Georgia, tbe other under a charter granted by Florida. Our Florida friends bavo already a charter for the connection of Pensacola with tho Georgia line, in the direction of Savannah. Upon the assembling of our Legislature Savannah expects to obtain a charter for tbe connection or herself with the Florida line, in the direction of Pensacola. To ac complish their work these roads must unite on the line dividing the two States. At what .point on that line this Junction is to be made will be determined in the last resort by the strockholdore ot the two companies. That it will be so determined os to meet tho wishes of tho great body of the people of Middlo and West Florida, and at tho samo time, in the high est degree, promote the interests of this city, we con fidently believe.

Tho Hon. Henry R. Jackson presided, uud Wm. S. Basi.vuek, Esq., acted as Secretary. The Hon. Cius. S.

In Becoudlug the resolutions, IIenry M. Law, Esq., paid a feeling and faithful tribute to tho life of tho de ceased, after which tho resolutions were unanimously adopted, and tho meeting adjourned.

I hope, however, to be able shortly to write to yon again, when I shall have more time at oommsnd. Your remarks in reference to the possibility of be ing ablo soon to inform ua of the recognition of the Independence ol this Republic by the Government of the United States, are both gratifying and encourag ing ; still, air, I confess—haviiig been so often disap pointed in my hopes in regard to this matter—I have now but little expectation of seeing our wishes, in this respect, realized in any very short period. You already know my feelings on this subject; and, for reasons I have again and again stated, how deeply I regret tho Indifference of your Government towards Liberia,* I therefore need not trouble yon here with further, remarks !u regard to it, except perhaps to say, that, while it is true Liberia, at present, holds no important position in tho consideration of foreign nations, and that, as yet, her commerce la very lim ited, holding out bnt few inducements to merchants abroad; yet, sir, it is not less truo that she is steadl- lygrowing into Importance, and that her commerce is rapidly increasing, arid whioh, I doubt not, in a fear years will bo worth looking after by more than one, or even two, of the great manufacturing and commercial nations of the day. Believe me, sir, with a continuance of the blessings of heaven, a hundred, nay fifty, years hence, Liberia will occupy a portion, and claim a consideration, beyond what her most sanguine friends at present anticipate. Time, how ever, Is the great demonstrator, and In regard to your conviction of a sppedy recognition by theUuitcd Htutcs, wc shall see, porlmps, what a year will bring forth. -whlol ■fftWW >! •ball shortly b« Able HP^^tniarereinrw - Oaptthjjiyncb arrived hero a oonple or foreeweehi . ago, and mado a abort excursion—some fifteen,folios •- twilit mo up Hie 8f.

I fold not visited our inland settiementa for a year or two, therefore, after parting with Captain Lynch, who bad to return tp his. ship tho same evening, I extended my trip to Mil/abury, and I assure yon, sir, I have never been more pleased, or felt greater satisfaction and encouragement, in regard to tho future prosperity or Liberia, than during tbM. visit. Tbe improvements In tho character, comfort and duriblllty of the build ings, the lucreased size of the farms, and improve ment in the mode or agriculture, the hum and bustle of a dozon firick yards, the thrifUness and general happy appearance of the people were all pleasing and gratifying Indications of-permuneut advancement. Captain Lynch’s present object, as you are aware, is only a preliminary investigation with the view of obtaining correot information in regard to the great est facilities and best routes for penetrating into the interior with tho least hazard. He will of oourse visit all tho rivers betwixt this place and Cape Palmas, to satisfy hinwelf os to the facilities afforded by river oouraes, Ac., Ac. But we already kuow the rivers in Liberia are only navigable for a short dlstauce—say twouty.five or thirty miles—therefore, 1 think, of ne cessity, his course must be by iuland routes.

It opons with a long and well written article on “The Social and Political state of Europe,’’ which is follow ed with “ The Age of Humbug,” “Six Weeks in the Moon,” Ac. “ A chapter on Political Economy” is written in on attractive vain of humor and BarchoAm which will secure it a reading aside from tho moral which it teaches. Tho Rcvinn prefers claims upon tho politician and scholar which we are glad to know are being liberally answered. zation, the report of Mcbsts. Berrien, Cdylkb and Anderson was adopted with great unanimity. After stating the purposo of stock holders present to build to the Alataraaba in the vi- cinity of Doctor .town, thence in tho direction of Pensacola to a point in Decatur county, on the north ern boundary of Florida, tho report added : That it is further our purposo, if the people of Middle Florida dcsiro to uuite with us, by meeting us on tho Northern lino of their State at a point East ward of the county of Decatur, in the county of Ham ilton, or at some more eligible point, with a subscrip tion of at least eight hundred thousand dollars, aud with a view of taking Middle Florida, on the way to Pensaoola—«o to divert our Hue, abovo described, as to meet their views. With this declared "purpose” of Savannali be fore them, tho people of Middlo Florida in Convention assembled, have offered to comply with the condi tions laid down by this city, and subscribing $800,000 to fix the point of connection ot Hamilton county.— Under the terras' which Savannah proposed, they might have insisted that tho Junction should be mid way on* the Hamilton line, or even further eostou that line; instead of which to cross into Florida " east Of the Aiapaba river” need require the road to pass the State boundary not more than about one third of the way from the westerato the eastern limit of the county designated. To cross tho Alapaha in Florida, will, wo are assured,make the road but one „or two miles longer than to pass through tho extreme north-western corner of Hamilton. A strong reason urged in the Tallahassee Conven tion, for designating the point for crossing cast of tho Allapaba, was, that that river might bo passed in Florida by a singlo bridge of easy construction, while to cross Us different prongs on the Georgia side would require a heavy expenditure of money. As to this consideration and others involved, tho publlo will bo better able to estimate them, when tho surveys are made. . We may observe generally, that iu rccommendiug that our road from this city on its way to the Gulf, en ter Flbrida in Hamilton, our Southern neighbors, while looking especially to their own welfare, bavo designated the very county which a regard to tho fu turo interests of Savannah would determine her to ■elect, if the whole line of our sister State were put at her disposal. Sho thus, for tbe present, secures a rood through the Middle and Western districts to the Gulf at Pensacola, and joins with her tbe ruling pow er of Florida, by tbe strong bonds of interest, in op position to any rival road to the same western termi nus through those districts. We shall thus command' immediately and for all ttmo, without a rival, the trade of Middlo and West Florida. Looking to the future, we have to remark that from Hamilton stretches out southward, the immense pen insula, which hereafter must distinguish Florida, by the character and variety of Its rich products, from all other portions of our Union. Immediately Bouth of Hamilton lies Colombia, and then follow the Ponln- aula counties—Alachua, Marlon, Hernando aud Hills borough—embracing perhaps, in many respects, the most delightful region upon which tbe sun ever shone. In the remotest of these, are tbe dl^niflcent waters of Tampa Bay, containing one of the finest ports in the western world. There, at no distant day, must ■prlng up a populous city. Once in Hamilton, wo command tbe whole of this region of prospective wealth and power. It Is thence open to us (we speak figuratively of course) whenever we may choose to enter upon and possess it. The presence or proximi ty of Indian savages has hitherto strongly repelled emigrants, anxious to go there, from a point to which climate and soil and products bo strongly invited them. Nevertheless Alachua, 3farion and Uornando are rapidly settling. Charleston has found it worth her while to send two Bte&mera np the St. Johns to compete with Savannah for their trade. Much of it ■he has wrested from us already; more she hopes to appropriate. Having appropriated, nothing but a Railroad from Savannah cans natch it from her grasp. In conclusion, we say again, that if the whole north ern line of Florida from the St. Marys to tho Perdido were at onr disposal, there is no point so inviting for * the entrance by Railroad from Savannah os that which the Floridians, with an eye to their own interests, have offered us. A word in relatlou to tho claims of Lowndes, Tho- mas, Decatur and Baker counties. It may be sail that they will bo improperly neglected by running tbe road through Middle Florida. We reply that they will be amply provided for by tho construction of tbe Brunswick road—passing as it will (as located) through ThomaavlUe, with a branch from that point to Albany. The planters of those coantics, having given their notes for the payment of their anhscrip- tlons to that enterprize, will not feel very grateful to Savannah for running a rood through their coon* tlea by the side of it, so as to make worthless their ■lock/ As for uniting the two, wo have the published atatement of President Foot that that will not be per mitted by the Brunswick company. Tho Georgia ■tockbolden in the latter work will, it is to be pre sumed, moch prefer that Savannah, if determined on buUdfog % toad;shall', after crossing tho other, pass on through Middle. Florida, so near to the Gulf as to oomppfo as . little u possible with that to wliioh they have :sobsoribdd. When''the people of Lowndes, Baker and Decatur reach the point of crossing, the way will be 9P*n to them to come to thli city If they no elect.

I have but little doubt—Indeed, it appears to mo, a question settled—that tho General Government, as also tbe State Governments, must and will, and that shortly too, in some way, come to tho aid of the So ciety, either by a grant of money, in some shape or other, or by affording snch facilities for tho transport ation of emigrants os will enable the Society to carry on its operations without serious embarrassment— But tho claims of Liberia, I fear, will remain long un heeded. Still I shall continue to hope. I thank you, sir, very slacorely for tho ten hogs heads of tobacco, you were good enough to order for us by tho bark Shirley. They will reliovo us much In our presont embarrassments. The loss of tbo | goods you kindly sent by tho Ralph Cross, to aid tho Government in tbe discharge of its liabilities, incur red on account of the expedition against Grundo and Bowyer, and for the payment of territory, is seriously 1 felt. I had hoped the insurance would have been recovered, aud you enabled, by that means, to have re-pluccd them. This, however, you inform roe, is doubtful, in consequence of tho vessel" having reach ed Monrovia Bafely, tho port to which the goods for tho Republic were consigned, aud theu having gone to Bnssa and Cape Palmas, and there wrecked,” that " tho vessel made her voyage In safety and ought to lmve landed her cargo 1 ” This, my dear sir, appears to be sonnd reasoning. But, os I am assured, the captain of the Ralph Cross, on his arrival here. In formed tho consignees that hla orders peremptorily required him to proceed to Bassa und Capo Palmas before lauding any of the goods ho had on board for this place. Now, if it be true that such were hla in structions, it is exceedingly unfortunate that the goods were not insured accqrdingly. However, you know best about this matter. But I nin Borry to learn your funds are too limited Just now to allow you to supply entirely this loss. I doubt not, however, you will do what you can to aid us in our difficulties— perhaps you will mako an extra effort in our behalf. I assure you, sir; I regret very much this constant complaining ol pecuniary embarrassment, as alao tho necessity of soliciting aid from tbo 8ocioty. But it 1b tho result of circumstances beyond our control against which wo could not provide—and not the waut of strict economy on tho part of tho Government iu tho disbursement of public monies. The difficulties and expenses into which the Gov- This measure of the United States Government is vastly important to tho interests of Liberia, in what ever light, considered; and to Africa, especially in respect to civilization and Christianity, of the greatest importance. I assure you, sir, we are all deeply in terested fo tlie success of Captain Lynch, and every facility that can he afforded by tbo Government aud people here will bo readily extended to him. I trust Congress will adopt the suggestions, fully contained in the report ofthe Secretary of the Navy, in regard to tills exploration, and that President Pierce and his Cabinet will favor the enterprise. I am very anxious to know the feelings of the present administration— or that will be In a lew days, In regard to Liberia— and wlrnt favor wo may expect tho ensuing four years. And haven’t wo good right to hope and expect as much from the United States as from any other Gov ernment? I am pleased at tho effort you propose to make In regard to tho Liberia Herald. I am indeed ashamed of Its present appearance, and shall fed greatly obliged if you will send us, by the earliest opportuni ty, a set of new typo, some ink and paper—if pledgo myself to do all I can to make it more respec table in appearance, and of greater interest to its readers. Mr. Dennis will, doubtless, write yon fully in regard to tho immigrants lately arrived. Wo are much pleas ed with the general appearance of the two companies for this county; they are mostly farmers and me chanics, and seem to understand what is necessary in a new country, and but ono or two exceptions, are delighted with their new homes. Mr. Dennis lraa managed to house them comfortably, aud they are all I believe, doing remarkably well; most of them, per haps all—except two very old men, two women, and three children—have passed successfully through the first attack of fever, and wltli reasonable care, have nothing now to fear. The fact Is, sir, the terror of African fever seemB almost to have passed away. To be sure somo suffer yet very considerably, but tbo cases are comparatively few, and in most of these, the casts may be traced ratber to imprudence tban the effects of climate. Tho local causes of disease are yearly beiug removed, and I look forward to the time, and that not very distant—if we can only procure tho means ol opening tho country—when African fever will uo longer be an obstacle iu the way of emigra tion. Mr. Dennis bus consulted with me about in creasing the sizo of tho receptacle, for emigrants, nt the Virginia Settlement, by adding another story to the building. 1 think well ofhls suggestion, and have advised him to proceed with tho work without delay.

Death of Major General Riley. A telegraphic dispatch in onr columns this morning announces tne death oT that gallant officer, Mqjor General Bennct Riley. He was a native of Maryland, and served with distinction in the war of 1812. From the post of Ensign, to which he was appointed on the 10th January, 1813, he rose by regular gradation to the rank ho held at his death. His servicestn Mexico wore of a distinguished character. At Contreras he led tbo assailingjparty on both;days,and finally carried the works with the bayonet in a style which has rare ly been surpassed. During the whole of those event ful days, his Brigade endured hardships, and perform ed actions worthy of a piaco besides the wildest re cords ofchivoly. General Peraifor F. Smith thuB speokes of it: “ The opportunity afforded to Col. Riley by his po- « tinn was seized by that gallant veteran with all the skill and energy for which ho is distinguished. The charge of his noble Brigade down tho slopo in foil view of friend and foe, unchecked oven fora moment, until ho has planted all his colors upon their farthest works was a spcctaclo that animated tho army to tho boldest deeds,” Similar, says one of hla biographers, was tho con duct of Col. Riley iu the bnltlo along tbe aqueducts leading to tho capital. He stormed Borne of the ene my’s positions, and on the night of tbe 13th of De cember, 1847, had arrived before the principal gate.— He entered Mexico next morning In company with the Commander-in-chief, and remained for some time at tbe bead of hla troops in the capital. He was after wards appointed by President Polk Military Governor of California, aud called tbe famous Convention that adopted in November, 1849,the constitution which waa submitted to Congress ; and by tbe act of that body consequent thereon, In September 1850, California was admitted into full memuenhJp as one of the Uni ted States.—Chas. Courier. A new mode of ventilation waa yesterday tried on tbe Naugatuck railroad with decided suooesa. Tbo E lan is that of Messrs. Atwood A Waterbary-tbe itter is an offiaer of the road. Ite general outline ia this: Tbe passenger oars of a train are all thrown in to one long saloon by meana of & flexible cloth or rubber platform,and the windows being kept closei and the train opened at tbe .rear, a strong current of air Ureoalved Jut over the engine through a pipe or — tbo-train, and some,six to twelve bag aa wide ae t inobes/ inoDes, deep, which pauea In at the top of Jha-front , oar and: so along through su the mire, and out at the ■Mares us that , tbe exemption -* the eenaatioa of ooolness and nBaSwfiadH the slave trade, and to pnuish cruel outrages commit ted on its citizoua by certain native chiefs, conid not lie avoided. And besides this, it is little imagined j the enormous expense the Government is constantly nt in the employment of commissioners to settle dis putes and tcvmlnato wars, continually arising be tween tho surrounding nativo'tribes,andtho frequent necessity of military force to keep these in oheck, and afford protection to other tribes, und tho persons and property of our citizens. Still I had ho]>ed and fully expected, by tho close of the present year, to be ablo to dischargo every claim agalnBt the Govern ment. But in this, I fear, I shall bo disappointed by an unexpected out-break among tho Chiefs, of Little Capo Mount, which forces upon the Government the necessity of sending a body of men there, with as lit tle delay ns possible, to prevent the further cflhsion of blood—indeed, the desolation ofthe country. For time past, disputes and feuds of a most obstinate character havo existed between certain Vcy and Golah Chiefs, occupying portions of that territo ry ; and, as you are probably aware, the Government has again and agaiu exerted its influence to reconcile the parties and restore peace and harmony; and to effect an object so desirabio, In February. 1851, at the instance of tho Government, a Council of tbo Chiefs was held at Little Cape Mount, which I attended, when and where they individually and for their ro- spoctivo clans, pledged themselves to s^pond hostili ties forever, and that nil existing causes of dispute should then and there bo abandoned, and should others arise in future, they should bo referred to tbe Government for settlement. Boorabo, however, ono ofthe Vey Chiefs, in a few months afterwards, be came restless and renewed his depredations. Tho Government again interposed, and ordered an assem blage of tho Chiefs, at Monrovia, where Boombo's conduct, aud tho matters in dispute, might be thor oughly investigated and adjusted. Having spent some days in hearing their several complaints, the Council terminated, aa was supposed, satisfactory to all concerned, and the Government had good reasons to believe that tho arrangument was effectual and lasting. Each party oledged himself by solemn com pact, never again to disturb tbo peace of tho country —they agreed never again to make war against each other, and to accept tho mediation and arbitration of tho Government for the termination of their mutual differences. It was also agreed that should cither party violate his engagement the Government should act offensively against tho offending party till it was reduced to obedience. Until about tho middle of last year, during my absence, strong hopes were enter tained that tbo rancorous feelings which had so long subsisted between these Chiefs were effectually re moved ; but Boombo, at tho time referred to, threat ened to revive the war. As soon as this intelligence reached the authorities, measures were again adopted by tbe Government to avert, if possible, so sad a calamity. All the Chiefs wore promptly invited to repair to Monrovia, that tbo cause of those threats might be Investigated. Dwtor-loo-bab, the threatened Chief, lost no timo In obeying the call of the Govern ment, and while here ono of bis towns was attacked, captured, sacked, and burned, and many of tbe in habitants murdered. Still tho Government, anxious to avoid tho necessity o( using military force, deter mined to mako another oonoltiatory effort, and dis patched commissioners to Boombo to admonish him ofthe evil he was bringing upon himself and people, and, If poralblo, divert him from tho couraohewas pursuing. But thoso friendly admonitions were re ceived contemptuously, tho commissioners insulted, and tbo authority ofthe Government rejected and de fied. In this attitude Boombo has remainod—making occasional attacks on Dwur-loo-bah and Tom Gnqj, till within a few days past, when—emboldened it may be by tho forbearanco of the Government to employ mil itary force against him—he extended his depredations into the Dey Country, almost in sight of some of oar settlements, barning towns and Tillages, and mur dering scores ofthe inoffensive inhabitants,as well as robbing several factories established there, owned by merchants of this place. Thus you see, sir, but one alternative appears to-bo loft us—for this state of things must not longor exist, if so, tho influence and authority of tbe Government is at an end, and the most dissstrons results may be expected. BtUl it is our purpose to avoid, if possible, a conflict, I pro pose, in a few days, visiting Little Cape MonnU-tak- ing with me a sufficient number of men to enforce respect and obedienoe to the laws of tbe-Government in cose of need—and have requested all the ohiefe in that country to meet me there to ” talk foe palaver,” and if, by any means, a peacable adjustment can be had, ahd suitable ■ reparation made, with' proper se curity, on the part of Boombo, to' keep' the peace, well—if not, fo« offending party mnst bo expolled the oonntry. Aaforainro had been able to learn thecanseeof Vootr.gra, they MOT tn ho tho remit of t. 5 forth of #««' ’* i and bo bos also a kiln of bricks on the spot—besides, tho amouut would bo saved to tbo 8ocicty, in a few years, by lessening the expensos at present lucurred for house rent. • And another consideration of some Importance is, to havo tho emigrants together while being acclimated, that the physician could have them more immediately under his control and attention.— I liopo my advice will meet your approbation. I am happy to be able to inform you that onr af faire generally are ia as good condition and as pros perous as could reasonably bo expected. Wo have had no further difficulties with tho Ashmen,or with Bowyer, nor do we anticipate any. The late chas tisement with which they were visited has fully con vinced them of tho power of tho Govornmont to main tain its authority, ntid 1 think wo shall havo no more troublo in that quarter. It has been thought advisa ble to continue Bowyer and tho Tradctown territory under the law of the Government till now—tho inter dict, however, will bo removed shortly. All apprehensions with respect to fear for tho safe ty ot tho settlement at the Covo, Buchanan, havo sub sided, aud the settlers are busily employed la the erection of houses aud plauting farms. Tho cbiofs of Grand Capo Mouut are most anxious to bavo an American Settlement formed there, and aro exceed ingly importunate to liaye it effected immediately.— They urge it as tho only sure means of relieving the country from anarchy and confusion, and of affording protection to the inhabitants against the depredations of certain maraudlug chiefs who keep the country in constant alarm. Theso and other Important consid erations make it desirable that their wishes bo met; we should therefore commence operations there as soon os possible, by sending up ramo forty or fifty men from this place. Can you send us a good com pany of emigrants to locate there? What about tbo Ohio prayers for a settlement at Cape Mount ?

Wo arc gratified, therefore, to have it In our power to place before our readers a series of private telegraph ic despatches, received from Trieste, on tho urrival there of the overland mail, by a London mercantile house of the highest respectability, and largely en gaged in the China and India trado. They were transmitted to n lionso hero of equal respectability, engaged cxtenslvoly in tho same trade, by whose courtesy wc are permitted to use them. The first of these despatches is as follows, and pros addressed to the London house by their special cor respondent at Trieste :— " From Slianghao I have received no letters. From Canton I have advices to the 9th of April. There was no change in the quotations for tea or unbleach ed silk. Exchange, five nnd five, Company’s rupees, 238.

Nothing positive was knowu respecting tho fate of Nankin. There were no com mercial advices from Shanghae, business being at a stand.

Our New York friends express the very confident belief that the report of tho intervention of tho three powers named will prove to bo without foundation, and has arisen from the simple fact that u force had been placed at Shanghae to guard tho lives and property of foreign residents.

Arthur Spring, the murderer, was executed this morning iu tbo jail yard at a quarter past cloven o’clock. Ho died apparently without a struggle, A few moments before the oxeoutlon took place, tho Itov. Dr. Street, who was in attendance, put the following question to the prisoner: “ Is youug Arthur, your son, guilty of tho murder of Mrs. Hbaw aud Mrs. Lynch?’’ To this the culprit made the following answer: 44 He is no more guilty of their murder than I am.” The lost words of Spring were: 44 1 went to bed that night—I mean the night ofthe murder—at 7 o’clock, and did not rise until breakfast time the next morn ing. I knew nothing of the murder until the officers arrested me.” Spring denied most positively and earnestly bis having committed the murder for which be had been convicted. He also protested his innocence of the murder of Kink, with which he had been charged. Of these he alleged just before passing from timo to eternity, that ho waa wholly guiltless. He passed tbe night with apparent composure, and this morning eat a hearty breakfast, remarking whilst eating It, that it was foe last breakfast ho would ever have. Whilst on .the gallows ha stood np firm, not the ■lightest tremor was visible. Quite a large number of persons witnessed tho execotion, which has erea- tea a great sensation throughout the city. Before ascending.tbe scaffold, Spring asked for some liquor, whioh tbe Sheriff refused to give him. Thousands of persona witnessed the execution—- An immense beterogoneoue mob, or oonooune of persona, ail colore and eexee, surrounded the priaon. The nock of the culprit waa broken instantly npon A treaty has been concluded between tho United States and the Free and Hanseatic Republics of Ham burg, Uromcu and Lubcc. for the mutual extension uf the jurisdiction of the Consuls and Vice Consuls of the contracting parties.
