It Is about time that tho ambitious should learn that no matter how emluent their merit tr abilities, they hare no prescriptive or other title to the honors or offices in the gift of the people, and that the (icople will bestow them on wlmui they please.

It is by the side of tht administration as long as it pursues its present policy. It is in direct and uucoinpromis- iug opposition to those who are its enemies—be they whom they may. This too, unquestionably, will bo found to be the position of tho Southern Democracy. Says tho Richmond Enquirer, edited by a warm frieud of Dickinson and a bitter political enemy of Dix: •• No matter what may be the isaue of the New York feud, it cannot be amiss to announce the inflexible deter mination of the southern Democracy to adhere to the ad ministration of President Pierce, until he forfeits their con fliience by some dereliction of duty or surrender of princi ple. He'vrill have our aupport, not with reluctance and in difference. but with that ardor and devotion which have ever characterised the party fealty of the Southern Demo cracy.

In the Martha Washington Conspiracy Case, on trial in Cincinnati on the 20th, the counsel for the de fence made a motion to quash the indictment, on the ground that the United States had no jurisdiction over the inland waters, and if it had, tiie law giving it was unconstitutional. Judge McLean decided that the United State* had jurisdiction, and that law was clearly constitutional, so tho motion was overruled. The Hon. Ichabod Bartlett, speaker of the House of Delegates of New Hampshire, died suddenly at Portsmouth on the 26th. Mr. Bartlett was a highly esteemed gentleman. He has been in Congress three terms, having been succeeded in that body by Frank lin Pierce, our President. 1IU death has caused ducp regret by all.

The total value of the foreign exports of Baltimore for the week ending on Thursday, says the Ameri can, was $257,120. The export of breadstuff's for the week comprises 0,778 bbls of flour, 333 barrels of corn meal, and 651 bushels of com. Of tobacco 3,300 hogsheads, 333 cases, and 200 bags were exported. Col.

Editors t The return of the favorite Isabel to liar accustomed track, again connects us by a chain of semi monthly links with tha United States and Cuba, and ren ders a residence at this Isolated spot not quite so irksome and tedious aa it has been since her withdrawal In August. It Is bad enough to be reduoed to a mail once In fifteen days, but when the period of so important an event is pro longed Indefinitely by tbe uncertain movements of sailing packets, forbearance eeases to be a virtue, and we cannot but protest against tbe Department for neglecting even our thinly peopled portion of the State. We hope to see one or more steamers touching re;ulariy at our city another season, besides tbe Isabel. A eompauy in New York are already building a veasel to run to Havana and Katanzas, touching at Key West. We shall not remain satisfied nowever. until we have a connection with Savannah. Your famous steamships plying to the North, and your extensive system of Railroads, seem to demand a continuation of traveling facilities towards Cuba and South Florida.— Another year will ffoubtleas give us something more than rumors of lines to be established. The marine arrivals at this port are increasing In num- her and importance, and the wrecking “ ball '* has opened Disasters have been rare in the Gulf, since no hurricanes have occurred In our latitude this (all, and we are thankful that our beautiful UUodhae not suffered from their terri ble effects. Qnitoa ntanber our cittssu returasd lathe babel, Messrs. Editors—Tho Georgia IVatchmnn, of tho 19th Instant, contain* a letter from E. IL Young. Eaq., relative to the reported arrangement* for the union of the Savannah and Brunswick Railroads, which de mands of mo a statement of tho facts therewith con nected so far as I am concerned. I do not seek a controversy on this subject—I simply desire resect- fully to correct certain statements in the letter of Mr. Young, aud to give the facts which lcil him into the error of supposing that tho Directors of tho Bruns wick company '• will, in a short, time receive from the proper sourco such proposals for tho union or the two companies, as will meet their approbation and ac- aceptance,” and tho Editors or tho Journal of Com merce into the announcement that arrangements with that object in view, are about to bo consummated. I entertain toward Mr. Young tho most respectful re gard. I regret most exceedingly tho publication of his letter, and the necessity which Impelled me to correct the statement of the journals which contained it. Some time in the month of August last, and pre vious to tho meeting of tho citizens of Savannah, held on the 30th of August, at which it was determined to prosecute the enterprise of a Railroad to the Gulf, un der tho Savannah and Albany charter, Mr. Young sought and had interviews with me on the subject of a compromise, or union or the Savannah and Bruns wick companies, and desired to know whether I would receivo propositions from the Brunswick company, of which he was a Director? I replied in tho Affirmative, and stated that Savannah desired to cultivate friendly and commercial relations witli his section of country, that she had never refused, and would not now re- tuso, to receive propositions calculated to extend these relations. He then told me that ho was on his way to New York, and was determined to force pro positions from the Brunswick Directors. I predicted to him what would be the resultoi'his efforts, and tho minutes of the proceedings of that body, published l#clow, verify my prediction. My conversations with Mr. Young on this subject were such as ought to be held between citizens or tho same State, they were frank and ingenuous, but Ido not understand that we were ever very nearly agreed upon the basis of a compromise, as he states, for neither party was then authorized to carry on negotiations even for the ltasis of a compromise. Upon tire return of Mr. Young from New York, we had another interview on this subject. I explained to him the action of the citizens at tbelr lato meet ing ; that Savannah now possessed a charter by which she could, from the liberality of the powers granted in it. not only construct a road to Mobile but a branch also to Florida—that by means or tho latter only could it bo expected that any comprpmlso could be effected, liut that wo had negotiations pouding with English capitalists for liberal aid to our enterprise, and Savannah had made certaiu pledges to the peo ple of Florida, and that until theso questions were determined it wonld be improper and embarrassing to negotiate with & third party, hut I could see no ob stacles in the future, on our part, to a union of inter ests with the counties of I^owndes, Thomas, and De catur in a joint road from Worosboro’. Our conver sation on these topics was of such a character that I determined not to have another interview witli Mr. Young, but at the solicitation of a third party, and in order to bring the matter to a close, I addressed him the following letter, aud in reply received a commu nication from him enclosing a copy of the proceed ings of two meetings of tho Brunswick Company, hold in New York, and a memorandum signed by him. It will be perceived, from a perusal of my letter, that I expressed a willingness to receive for the Sa vannah Directors, any projwsitions that Mr. Young might have to make from tho Brunswick Company. In reply, I received nt propositions from that Compa ny, but a resolution offering to receive "any formal communication which citizens of Savannah may now or hereafter propose to this Company, within a period of three months from this date.” With the memo randum of Mr. Young I had nothing lo do. He says it was written by Mr. Roberts, but I presume at the dictation of Mr. Young, inasmuch as his signature is affixed to it. No other parties having signed, it is his instrument, and I acknowledge to have received it in the same envelope which covered his communication to mo and the minutes of tho Brunswick Board of Directors. From these minutes it appears that the communication of Messrs. Young and Nightiugalo un derwent some modification previous to its being act ed upon by the Board. What was tho character of the modification the minutes do not explain, and we are yet to Ieurn. Those documents were submitted by me to the Board of Directors of the Savannah and Albany Railroad Company, at tho second meeting after their organiza tion. They were respectfully received, but have not been acted upon. It is a common custom for public bodies to receive communications, it being respectful to do bo, and yet not to consider or entertain them. What the Savannah Board of Directors will do in the premises I cannot at this time indicate, but it is evi dent that Mr. Young was mistaken, and labored un der a misapprehension when ho stated in his letter of resignation that tho Brunswick Company would, in a short time, receive proposals from the proper source which will meet their approbation and acceptance, and his tender of resignation, in order to make room for a representative of the allied interests was preci pitate, and I may add ill-advised. I am also free to admit that he believed negotiations were going on ; but if ho will reflect that to conduct negotiation* be tween corporate bodies the parties negotiating most bo authorized to act, and that there were no authoriz ed agent* of cither company iu tho transactions in which ho participated, he must confess that ho wus mistaken in his impressions on this subject. I was surprised to see tho unfortunate letter of Mr. Young In the Georgia Watchman, and still more so to find it in the Journal of Commerce, accompanied by an editorial statement to tho effect that “ arrange ments are abont to be consummated between the Sa vannah and Brunswick Coro pan lea, the result of which is expected to bo tho construction of a Railroad from the Atlantic to the Gulf.” I took Immadiato step* to rectify tho statement of the Journal of Commerce, and authorized tho editor* of tho Georgian, News and Republican to correct it, because in the attitude of the whole question, it was calculated to mislead parties In regard to the actual condition of facts. It will be perceived upon a reference to their editorial*, that each editor has handled the Butyect In a different way. Two of those editorial* I saw and approved, but tbe third, which Mr. Young has selected for com ment, I did not see. I am.howover, responsible for the statement of tho Republican that no arrange ments have been mado for tbe consummation of the onion of the two enterprises aa stated by the Joum- nal of Commerce, and that no negotiations are pend ing for that purpose. I did also say to the editor of the Republican that the Savannah and Albany Com pany could not properly undertake negotiations with tbe Brans wick Company at this time, becanso or tbe present state of complication of its affairs, with pledges, which they would not and will not violate, on tbe ons hand, to the people of Florida, and nego tiations for a lino of road to Mobil* on the other. I have now tho same dssirs as I expressed to Mr. Yoong end others, for a union of interests with tbe counties of Lowr doa, Thomas and Decatur. I ardently desire that uulon. If I know tho sentlnients of tho people of Bavannah.thoy desire it t but frdm elroumstances not under their control, they have hitherto had no al ternative left but to conatruct an Independent road, which they are dUpimcd to locuto as ailvautngoonuly for tho liituruMta of those counties on they can cniiair,- tently with tho chartered rights of tho Urup’iwick Company. Their resolution adopted ut tho'.r meeting on tho Ut or Juuo lost, declares that the route pre ferred by thorn Is to tho Junction of the Flint and Chattahoochee, but that thoj are wllliug to moot tho peoplo of Florida at a Mr point on tho boundary be tween Georgia am'. Florida, upon a subscription on the part or Flovida of $800,000. Both of tlioso routes hnvo been surveyed in preparation for any contingen cy that may arise. Should thoy, however, go down to Florida, in Hamilton county, tho road will cron* Brunswick Bond ut or near \Vare*boro', and at the point of crossing Savannah cun enjoy commercial re lations witli several counties of tho South-West either by tho continued lino of the Brunswick lined, or by a Joint road, asmny hereafter lie agreed upon. Tho people of Suvunuuh do not and have never en tertained hustllo feelings to tho Brunswick road. Mr. Bartow in his letter or February 2(1, 1853, expresses tholr true sentiment* on thin subject. Hu writes “Tho people of Savannah are much misunderstood if they arc regarded as inimical to the interest* of Any of our brethren iu iho Southern part of Georgia.— Surely it I* tho interest of Savannah to allure inter course with every jiortion of the Stutc. Her whole history has been one of continued and painful strug gle to supply by iho means of art. those connections with the country which nature denied. I will not now recapitulate thosu efforts. They arc familiar to all. Through every step In this prolonged labor Hlie Ims encountered difficulties springing from her isola tion ami her weakness. She has lelt how much the ground gained has cost her in the expenditure of strength, energy and wealth, while others from anoth er point of view have expected more than site was able to perform, and blamed her laggard spirit, witli an Injustice which she lias proudly hut keenly felt.” Tho editors of the Georgian treated this subject on the 28th February, 1853, as follows : •• Another thing we may add, while Savannah feels no hostility to Brunnwick. (wo should rather say Northern speculators in Brunswick property,) or to any other town or city, she will do wlmt she can to prevent Brunswick, or any other city from appropri ating trade aud commerce which she can tunkc tribu tary to herself. Savannah is pursuing no ‘ dog in tho manger ’ policy. If she were, wo certainly should not sustain her in it. She is not striving to prevent others from building a road through Southern Geor gia—while detenuinod to give no aid in building one herself. On the contrary having nearly accomplished other great undertakings which havo for years task ed to tho rtmost her capital and energies, she rests not for a day. Summoning up her strength for anoth er gigantic effort, site proclaims to tho world her de termination to build a Railroad of probably not less than four hundred miles, to bring about a connection between herself, South-western Georgia, Middle and West Florida, New Orleans, Texa*. Mexico and Cali fornia. Siie ha* determined to build this road be cause she believes her highest and dearest interests to be involved in its construction. If tho Brunswick operators with a road from that place, Savannah makes no objection.” When the Brunswick road was first projected, Sa vannah was not iu a condition seriously to content* plato tho construction of a road to South-western Georgia. It will, however, bo recollected that Col. Scwonl.with a wise forecast, had thecharterof the Brunswick road so modified by the Legislature, us to empower the Compnny to construct to Savannah or Brunswick at its pleasure, thu* giving indications of its probable eventual terminus ut Savannah. As far back a* 1847, a charter for a railway from Savannah to Albany was granted. This road wus strenuously advocated in our city some time previous to the re sumption of the Brunswick enterprise. Savannah had spent her millions upon the Central, the South-west ern, the Muscogeec and the Augusta .fc Waynesboro’ roads, and had also agreed to expend a considerable sum upon the Opelika road. Some of these hnving proved to lie profitable enterprises, she felt strong enough to turn her attention to the South-west, but hnving no charter to carryout her designs, tho Bruns wick chartur being in other hands, she availed herself of the Albany charter to accomplish her object of a connection with the South-west and the Gulf of Mex ico. This charter is perhaps tho most liberal ever granted by the legislature of Georgia, and enables her to construct a road to the western Iwundary of thu State, on the Chattahoochee, with brandies in n southerly and northerly direction, bounded in length only by tho limits of the State. In a letter received from the capitalists of London, who have so favorably considered our enterprise, they say, “ it is impossible, for those not acquainted with tho locality, to doubt that the route from Savannah is immeasurably supe rior to any other.” The main trunk of this road she proposes to locate as soon os tho route to the Aluta- maha can bo fixed, and immediately thereafter to be gin the work of construction. A bona fide subscrip tion of $1,000,000 has been made by the city to the enterprise, and large subscriptions have been and are being mado by her citizens. She has expectations of important aid from several sources. Iu these sho may be disappointed, but she lias the will and the power to accomplish much without it, and where those quali ties exist, failure seldom occurs. I feel no disposition und will not retort upon the Brunswick Company the unkind remaks of Mr. Young, one of the Directors of that Company, upon the prospects of the Savannah Company. I have never written nor spoken disrespectfullyof thut Com pany, nor of my fellow citizens in Georgia, who are engaged in that enterprise ; nor will I now—but I have pledged myself to use all honorable means, and I will carry out that pledge, to place Savannah in connection by railway witli South-western Georgia, uml thus promote an identity of interests between them.

Savannah, Sept. 14, 1853. Dear Sir:— Having had several informal conversa tions with you on the subject of Railroads, iu which your section of country ami Savannah are interested, but as thoy can lead to no practical result, I have to say that Savaimuh is now represented by an organi zation based upon the Savannah und Albany Rail road Charter, und tho Directors of that Company will receive any propositions you may havo to make from tho Brunswick Railroad Compuny. Very respectfully, Your ob’t servant, Jam. I*. Screven, President S. and A. II. Company. Maj. E. It. Young. 3 The I«ntc Gnlc—Vessels Abandoned, The late heavy northeast gale has extended a con siderable distance along the coast, und done immense dam:’go to thu shipping. The Br. schr. Golden Eagle, which arrived yester day morning from Nassau, N. I*., fell in with ou Sat urday last, off Savannah, the schr. Advent, of Jack sonville. Fla., Tobey master, from Portsmouth, N. H. p witli a cargo of hay, bound to Jacksonville, ab.tut 39 miles from Tyhee. The mainmast had to be cut a- way during the gale to relieve the vessel, the foremast going with it, and sweeping the decks of every thing moveable. The Advent having no spars or sails left ou board, the olllcers and crew found themselves com pelled to abandon the vessel, and came on in the Golden Eagle. The Advent was fallen in witli by the steamer Charleston, after the Advent’s crew had left her, aud was towed into this port yesterday af ternoon. The schr. Charleston, Johnson, ma-ter, at this port, from Satilla River, fell iu with, on Friday fa'-t, to the eastward of Doboy, the schr. Hullowell, Harden, master, from Savannah, lumber loaded, of and for Rockland, Me.—took off the olllcers and crew and brought them to this port. The Hullowell was thrown on her beam ends while scudding before the lat gale, when her masts had to be cut away, and she was rendered u complete wreck. Tho Hulloway was passed and lxmrded on Saturday last, off’ St. Cailia- fine’s, by tho steamer Florida, ut this port. The barque Dudley, Morrison, from this port, 18th inst., for Havana, in ballast, returned yesterday, to repair damages sustained ou the 19th, (in hit. 29.09, long. 79.39, about 239 miles S.J E. from Charleston Bar.) The brig Lilian, Hatch, master, which sailed from this port tor Boston on Monday last, was towed into port Saturday morning, by the steamship Charleston, having been dismasted and sprung aleak Charles- on Standard, 24/A inst. royal residence, three miles from here. He went in slate with a procession of more than two hundred officers, seamen and marines, with two field pieces and two bauds. Great numbers of the natives came to witness our nray. We entered the royol castle at Sheudi, hut did not see either the young Pri ce or L'ueen Dowager. After the reccptition we had a grand native dinner ut the Regent's house, I par took of thirty-one nondescript dishes, uml was then obliged to stop. Everything passed off remarkably well. We left there ou thu fitli for the Benin A ichi- pelago, eight hundred miles to the eastward or this, taking the Saratoga in tow, and leaving tho Missis sippi aud Supply behind. Alter a delightful voyage of live days we reached ' Port Lloyd, the harbor of Peel Island, where we re- j mained lour days. I was appointed to the command I of an exploring party. The island is only six miles long, but very rugged, and covered with the densest , tropical vegetation. I never Imd such a hard day's work in my life, although wo only travelled 12 mile*. I Imd seven men—officers and seamen—with me. Two of them broke down completely, a third barely drug ged himself along, und the others were wofully la tigued. We climbed down a mile of precipice by hold ing on to the corners of rocks und roots of trees, shot a wild boat,kindled a fire nud roasted his flesh, and had a grand time generally. The Benin islands nr» of volcanic formation, and though in lat. 27° N.. the vegetation is that which is elsewhere found near the Equator. The inhabitants—30 iu nil—are English. American und Kanak—mostly runaway sailors, who raise a few vegetables which they sell to sailors. Port Lloyed is a splendid and secure harbor, and the onh one in all this jiurt of the Paciilc which will answer as a stopping place and calling stntion for our new Pacific steamers, when they get under way. We can even afford to lose thu clmuce of a station in Japan, if wo get Port Lloyd. Altogether I have employed my time pleasantly and profitably, since entering tin service. We returned on the 23d. and found the Ply mouth in from Shanghai with the mails- my first news from home is nearly seven months. We leave here for Jeddo in three days. The length of our stay is ol course uncertain, but as soon as 1 get buck again to some Chinese port, I shall resign, and make straight across the Pacific. I have a mighty hunger to get hack to Civilization. I nin tired to death of barbar ians, especially of the Chinese, with their mon- "'esandabo " " AT TIIK ATHENJBVM, SIX FAREWELL CONCERTS.

That they have expended a large sum of money for machinery, tools, carts, provisions, and other essen tials, also in locating tlio route of tiie road and in opening several miles thereof, and will immediately and energetically progress with the actual work upon the road; and tlnit justice to those subscribers who havo puid and whose money has been thus expended, requires the board to enforce payment from all others by all the legal remedies in their |>ower.

Mr. Young, on behalf or hirasdr and Mr. Nightin gale, then presented a communication iu writing, which, bavins undergone some modification, was read in tho following form: New Yore, Sopt, 7th, 1853. The undersigned, citizens of the State of Georgia, and Members of the Board of Directors or the Bruns wick and Florida Rail Road Company, having had several interviews with prominent and influential citizens of the city of Savannah, who are now engag ed in forming a Company to construct a Rail Road west to some point on the Gnlf of Mexico, being satis fied ffom the communications of those gentlemen, as well as other droumstancee, that there exist* on tbe part of the citizens of Savannah an earnest and ain- - ---paid their first instal ment ; that James M.

Black, of Abbeville, S. C., makes the following communication to the Indrpcndrnt Press, which may bo very valuable to the cotton planters, all, or nearly all of whom havo stained cotton this seasou. Let the method be test ed s Mr. Editor:—Having discovered a simple process by which cotton soiled by the late rains may be cleans ed and whitened, I make the suggestion for the bene fit of farmers. Take a common wheat thrasher and raise the cylinder one Inch, tho box one-half inch, which will throw tiie frails an inch from the cross-bar. and by placing the cross-bars an inch apart the dirt nnd trash pass through and fall in a heap near the thrasher, and separately fr om the cotton. In this way I cleansed enough dirty cotton to make some three bales of ginned cotton in ubout two hours. It can be cleansed us fust ns several hands can feed the thrash er. und when done, is as white as that which has open ed since the rain. Very respectfully, . . Joseph R. Black.
