whereas au eleotlon occurs on tho name day also for a mem

delegates from this. dUtrlct sbaU at tho same time and

as we see no reason why delegates entrusted with the re-
sponslblUty or determining one candidate for Governor, are
not equally capable and equally entitled to our confidence
In the selection of a candidate for Congress : and whereas
tho Convention held at MlUedgevllle is likely to bo more

without making sacrifices, or materially, disturbing

ftewfimnOland and the JTUhcrlesi
Considerable excitement has been reoently caused
in Newfoundland by intelligence transmitted by a
private letter from England, that negotiations were
going ou between the Frauch and English govern-
tu*ut4 for the cession of tbo island of Beileisle to
France. This island lies at the month of the straits
of that n*me, at the northern extremity of Newfound
land, and would be quite Important In the bands of
the French or Anuricaus as a fishing Station. Bo
much Interest and anxiqty were excited by this an
nouncement. that a petition, signed by neatly all the
leading merchants of St. Johns, has been presented
to the Legislature of Newfoundland, praying for re
monstrance with tbe Horae Government against the
measure. The following is the exordium: <
■ “ Yonr petitioners have heard, with alarm, that tbe
' French government have beeu in treaty with tho
British government recently for the transfer of Belle-
isle, in the Straits, to the former government,and are
likely to succeed in obtaining it. That island being
the point where the codfish strike on their way to the
shores of Labrador, and, therefore, one of the best
fishing stations on the north-east coast of this island,
your petitioners feel convinced that if it should unfor
tunately bo ceded to the French, a great portion of
Labrador will bo rendered useless to the British gov
ernment,” &c. Ao.
Wo havo no means of knowing whether snob a de
sign as is hero indicated has beeu seriously entertain
ed by cither of the two governments. Tno London
papers mention tho matter, but give no explanations.

city, from wblcii we learn that it took place at Adairs-
ville, on Saturday evening last. Mr. Cutler,the let
ter states, “ was found nearthe railroad depot, with a
small hole In nls head, and a rook weighing about 100
pounds lying on his hat. Whether killed by a roclc
or pistol was not known whon the cars passed by, os
an inquest was being held over the body. A man by
tbe name of Cox, and his son, and another by the
namo of Webster, (tbe son-in-law of Cox,) and hla
wife, have been arrested on suspicion, and the evi-,
denco so far elicited, is so strong, that there is little
doubt they are the guilty parties.”
Wa learn from a gentleman, who arrived by the
cars last evening, that the parties above alluded to
have been arrested and committed, the suspicion!
having been strengthened by the evidenoe developed
before tho Coroner’s Jury.
The remains of tbe deceased were brought to this
city last evening. The fnneral will take place this
morning, at nine o’clock, from the residence of Dr.
W. H. Cutler, corner of Bronghton and Bnll streets.
Murder*
The Barnwell, 8.0., Sentinel, ot the 25th, relates
the otrcnmstonces of the murder of a little son of Mr.
Jakes Kirkland, on the plantation of Colonel B. H.
Brown, near that place on the 2ist., by a young ne
gro girl of only 11 or 12 yean of age. The girl, who
was a bouse servant, had been chastised by her mis
tress and soon after, from a feeling of revenge, took
the little boy into the plumb-orchard near by the
house and beat him on the head with a stick, leaving
him for dead. Ho was soon after discovered In an in
sensible condition, and lived but a short time. Tho
girl was secured.
John Wonsly, convicted of the murder of Robinson,
was executed In Chesterfield, Va., on tho 26th.
The Mississippi papers record the death of Jndge

city, Messrs. Powl & Mfshler, has.sinco tho begin

railroad, to Philadelphia. So exceedingly grout has
been the growth of this city as well as New York,
that tbe number of horses required ftruse is im

warm weather, disease, casualty, age, and other
causes, diminish the number of our horsts continual-

Matrimony and Friendship.—Sara Slick, in his
“ Wise-Saws,” says that tho natur of matrimony is one
thing, and the natur of friendship ia another. A tall
man likes a short wife ; a great talker likes a silent
woman, for both cau’t talk at once. A gay man likes a
domestic gall, for he can leave her at once to nnrse chil
dren and make pap, while he is enjoyin of himself at
parties. A man that ain’t any music in him likes it
In his spouse, and so on. It chimes beautiful, for
they ain’t in each other’s way. Now, friendship is
the other way : you must like the'same thing in each
other and bo friends. A similarity of tastes, studies,
pursuits hnd recreations (what thoy call congenial
souls;) a toper for a toper, a smoker for a smoker, a
horse-racer for a horse-racer, a prize-fighter for a
prize-fighter, and so on. Matrimony likes contrasts 1
friendship seeks its own counterparts.
Tho word •• Tariff” is taken from a fortress which
is situated on tho Straits of Gibraltar, a promonitory
which, from its position, is adapted for commanding
the entrance of the Mediterranean Sea, and watohing
the exit and entrance of all ships. It was tho custom
of tho Moors to watch from this point ail merchant
ships going into or coming out of the Midland Sea,
and issuing from this stronghold, to levy a certain
fixed scale of duty on all merchandize passing in and
out of tbe Straits, and this was called, from tho place
where it was levied, “ tarifa,” or “ tariff,” and in this
way wo have acquired the word.

Rome.
Mr. Bryant, editor o( the N. Y. Evening Post,
writes as follows in rogurd to the present state ol
things in tho Eternal City:
11 In the midst of the evils of this false Bystem of
political organization, there are Borne tokens of
S rosperitr to be seen at Rome. I have no doubt that
le popohtlon of the city has considerably Increased
within tie last twonty years. The proof of this is to
bo foundin the riso of rents and tho difficulty which
now exia.3 in finding commodious apartments. I am
told thatpnts have nearly doubled, and that the spa
cious bii ob of rooms, which a few years since stood
vacant ii the palaces and other large houses, have
now the ■ inmates. This is owing, no doubt, ia part
to tho g< icral growth of the population of Italy dur
ing the ite long interval of rest from war, and in
part to I io.new facilities for travelling, which bring
many m re strangers to Romo than formerly as visi
tors or i sidents. Tho tide also, which in tho eccle-
slastlcalwarld is setting back towards the usages
and opi Ions of the middle ages, no doubt floats
many h her, and adds something to this new growth
of Rom. Those who foretold that the Eternal City,
in the unhealthy air of her Campogna, would at no
distant ay become unpeopled, must be content to
look to 4 very remote and indefinite futurity for the
fulffloien: of their prediction,.
“ Meantime, the city is soWowhat beautified with
every succeeding year. Statues and columns are
erected i the old irregular pavement of tho streets,
troddenwith so much pain by those who had corns
on theirfeet, has been taken up, and its place sup
plied by a smoother one, composed of small rectan
gular bheks of stoue, like those used in paving tho
Btreots cf Paris ; a noblo causeway, with patapets,

• Pincio ios been embellished with rows of buBts, in
marble, of the illustrious men of Italy—her sages,

tho garden, forming its walks, and planting them with
trees, among which I perceive the evergreen magno

other treos of the palm kind, which do not find the
olimate here too rude for their growth.”

Symptoms und Treatment of Coup «lo Solell
A medical correspondent of the Now York Times,
writing on tho subject of coup dt soleil, a disease
which has caused so many Budden deaths since the
hot weather set in, thus describes the symptoms and
the proper remedies to be applied :
“ The symptoms of its approach differ somewhat.
In Borne cases its attacks is very sadden, with slight
indications, if anv, of its approach ; though, as a
general thing, vertigo or dizziness, ringing in the
ears dimness of sight, pain and heaviness in tne head,
are tho precursors of coup de soleil and of apoplexy.
Persons experiencing these symptoms, or their ap
proach, should immediately quit work, and ride home;
and by making, as soon as they can, free use of cold
applications to tho head, will, in all probability re
cover.
“Place tbo patient in a cool and airy situation,
with his head and shoulders elevated, and while some
one ia removing his cravat, unbuttoning his Bhirt col
lar, and rejnoring oc loosening whatever else that
mav be tight about his person, duh auddonir coin
water on his head. This may be done with a pitcher,
or any suitable veaaol, held at some little distance
above tbe head, pouring ont upon it a large and
steady stream. Mustard plasters may be used over
the upper part of tho feet and on the wrists. But,
continue tne water, and tho patient mast be saved.
“The laboring man, from tho nature of his em
ployment, is more subject to attacks of this kind
ban any other class of persons, as also short-nocked
* is.
no measures to whicli tho tnalevoleuco of our assailants
may hereafter prompt them, can retard our nrogrese fur
ther. In this spirit, citizens of Georgia, the Directors me/t
you here to day.
Shortly after the organization of this Company, at a
meeting held In Brunswick, ou the 17th pf Juno. lko2, the
Directors, acting under the authority of a resolution then
adopted, entered Into onntracU with Messrs. Collins and
Alexander, for tho construction of the entire liuo or road
from Brunswick to Thomasville, with a branch to Albany,
for the sum of ($13,000) thirteen thousand dollars per milo,
inclusive of some equipments. As soon as practicable al
ter those arrangements, tho Directors contracted through a
London firm, with W. Digby Seymour, a member of the
British Parliament,for fifteen thousand live hundred tons
of Railroad Iron. By the terms of this contract, one thous
and tons were to be delivered on board ship at Liverpool,
during the month of October, 1862 ; and ono thousand In
each succeeding month thereafter, until tho wliolo quantity
should have been delivered ; and payment for this Iron
wae to be made in the bonds of tho Company, Issued under
authority nf resoluUons'adopted by the Stockholders at tlia
meeting above referred to.
The contract was sublet by Mr. Seymour to other partios.
We have adverted to the insidious means called into requi
sition in order to break up the plans o f tho Company, and
to defeat all Its negotiations on the other side of tbe Atlan
tic. The first monthly shipment of iron, stipulated in tho
contract, was not dellverotl. A great and sudden rise of the
price of iron had taken place shortly aftor the contract was
made, and this fact added to tho difficulty which Mr. Soy*
rnour alleged to exist in procuring from his Rub-contractors
a punotual delivery of the rails, wae pleaded by him in ex
cuse for tbo violation of hlB contract.
To repair tho Injury thus inflicted upon us, at the very
threshold of our undertaking, and to cnublo the Company
to carry out iu good faith its agreomeut witli the contrac
tors, the Directora without loss of timo purchased a quan
tity of Iron rails In Boston, which arrived In Brunswick and
are now In progress of being laid down. And It may here
bo stated, that a Ixtcomotlro nnd Bomo cars have also been
purchased, and that tho vcssol which conveys them is now
on her voyage to this port.
The contract witli Mr. Seymour still lingered on, unfulflll-.
ed in any of its parte. And on tho Urst of March the Board
of Directors determined to delegate their President. Mr.
Foot, to proceed to England for tho purpose of ascertaining
the causr of tho delay, and of making provision for the de
livery of the iron. *
On hla arrival in England, Mr, Foot, at the very outset-
was met by embarrassments and difficulties which would
have Btaggered a mind less self dependent, nnd a spirit less
resolute than his own. He found that Mr. Soymour had de
liberately broken the contract made under the most aolomn
sanctions of human obligations ; that he had, with tho sel
fishness of a cold calculation, sacrificed tho interests which
had boon entrusted to his keeping, snd that ho had compro
mised the eub-contracts ho had entered into with other par
ties. In tho language of Mr. Foot, i! ho had sold us out and
pockoted the price.”
It Is not necessary to follow Mr. Foot through tho Tarlous
phrases of bis negotiation.
Tho Directors are happv to be able to announce that ho
has succeeded in concluding a contract with a highly re
spectable and houorablo house, for tho supply of fifteen
thousand tons of rails. The first shipment, amounting *~
four hundred and fifty tons is to be mado in tho ensul „
month, July, and tho shlpmente are to coutlnue monthly,
and about equal proportions, until the whole quantity
shall have boon dollverod. The completion of tho road from
Brunswick to tho Satilla Rlvor, during tho present year, is

Youno Men on Imperial Thrones.—Some of the
most important empires on tho globe aro now ruled
by young men. Tho Emperor or China, Hien Fang,
is now in the twonty-Becond year of his age, and the
third of his reign. Jt will bo recollected tnnt bo is of
the Tartar or Tn-taing dynasty. Prince Chu-kisin,of
tho Ming dynasty, who asnires to tho throne of China
is about nineteen years old. The Sultan, or Shah of
Persia, Nasser-ad-Din, is about twenty years of ago.'
Abdul-Mcdjid-khan, tbo Sultan of Turkey, was born
in April, 1823—of coarse he is now little over thirty
years of ago. Tho Emperor Francis Joseph, of Aus
tria, ia nearly twonty-thrce. having been born in Au
gust, 1830. He ascended tbe imperial tlirone in De
cember, 1848. These empires embrace more than one-
third of tho population of the world—2V. F. Herald,
Tho OAw Organ haa the following account of tbe
origin of tho namo • Ann Arbor,’la a letter from
that flourishing Michigan city:
•• Thirty years ago, two travellers, with their wives
and children, stopped on the'spot where Ann Arbor
now standB, and concluded to remain there for the
night, Tho weather.was hot and sultry: angry clouds-
swept along the sky and threatened rain, sadden, se
vere. Not a house was visible, and in this emergen
cy, the two men were compelled to do something to
protect their families from tho peltings of the pitiless
storm. Accordingly they erected a frail structure
with the limbs of trees; over the top of Which they
spread a few nieces of white canvass, thus making a
handsome little arbor; and as their good wives were
both called 2lnn,tbeirhasbandsapnropriateIynamed
their little retreat Ann Arbor. Thirty years have
ainco rolled by, and the city of Ann Arbor now
marks tbe spot where the wearied travellers sought
safety and repose.”
of the work upon tho road, by the clear and explicit com
munication ou that subject, received from tho contractors,
Messrs Collins and Alexander. It is marked A aud Intend
ed to form a part of this report. Tlie directors invito your
earnest attention to this communication. If additional
guarantees were needed of tho energy and good faith with
which the work will bo carried on, tiiej may be found in
the position and character of the gentlemen who have it In
charge, and who have raised on tho grandest highways of
the State, monuments to th«ir science, efficiency, and skill,
not destined to perish with themselves.
There remains yet one duty for tho Board of Directors to
discharge—that duty addresses Itsull more especially to mu
citizens of Georgia.
It will be remeinborcd that at tho last meeting of stock
holders, certain gentlemen representing the different coun
ties on the proposed line of road, pledged themselves that
important aid, in the form of a largo subscription, should
be secured.
In all their subsenuont movements, the Directors have re
posed Implicit confidence in tho high honor or xUu«. i*hn
made this pledge, and In their ability to rodooni it. Indeed,
if reliance, is to be placed upon Information in the hands of
tho Directors, derived from sourcoa whoso credibility,.they
cannot question, a subscription materially cxccadlng any
amount at that timo pledged, will bo realized.
It would bo superfluous at this time to outer into any de
tailed exhibits of tho valuo or productiveness of our enter
prise or of tbe immense Interior resources which this road
in connection with other kindred improvements, is to lead
to a profitable market. Tho former Reports of the Board
of Directors haVe partially surveyed theso (
recent publications from authoritative sources have sup
plied any deQcioncy which they might have left. Tlie South*
era and middle portions ol Georgia havo too long been shut
out from the commercial facilities which alone were need
ed to give them pre-eminent influonco and prosperity. Tlie
absence of these facilities has clipped the golden wings of
your commerce, aud pent up within tho narrowest limits,
the resources aud energies of our peoplo. It belongs to you
to redeem yourselves from this unnatural bondago. to put
your hands to the wheel here, now, to-day, to avail your-
selvos or tho natural advantages which lie temptingly
spread before you to secure the harvest which waits only
for the reapers. Your brethren of the North, associated
with you in this great work, have never, for one moment,
faltered In their forward movement. They have alrendy
paid ten per ceut. on the twelve thousand nnd fifty shores
for which they havo subscribed, and they will promptly
meet any farther assessments which may be required to
sustain tho credit of the Company. Relying upon your
faith and your co-oporation therewith, they hnve pursued
their object, with that unfailing energy which regardi
nothing aa dono, so long *b anything remains to bo accom
plished. You may not—you can not—you will not disap
point them. They look with anxious concern to the result
of thin dav’s gathering. Thoy hnvo never doubted that not-
withitanding all opposition and in the faco of all combina
tion*, the victory would at Inst be ours. And thoy have
borne without a murmur the repeated disappointments and
delays which have nttonded our effoits. because thoy felt
that the highest and most durable triumphs are those
which have been achieved by the greatest struggles and sac
rificed by the heaviest sacrifices.

We, tho undarsignod, passengers on board tho steamship

ly aftor leaving tbe port of Now York,and proceeding down

Capt. Berry, bound to Charleston, and, while there was
plenty of sea room, from some cause to us unknown, said
ab!i> mn into the larboard wheel-house of the Florida, do
ing considerable damage. This our officers endeavored to
avoid by keeping away as much as possible, but thoir efforts
were of no avail. For a few minutes we wore lod to bellovo
that we should bo compelled to return to New Yord for re
pairs. but our captain,^Wth that perception and coolness
characteristic of a truo seaman, at once decided to proceed
on our voyage, which hai been accomplished In the unusu
al short time of 60 hour*, having left the Marion soon after
passing tho bar, much to the gratification of all on board.
Wo will further add, that, as regards the discipline and
management of tho ship, the kind attention and general
treatment recelrcd from all on board, has beon such
render goneral satisfaction. We therefore tako an especial
pleasure In recommending the steamship Florida, and her
very gentlemanly officers, to tho attention of our friends
and the public generally.
