refined portion of tho cltlaons of Havana, ptev uoa to
bis departure to mako a tour or the Island, which it
was his intention to do.
With regard to commercial matters wo do not see
Any particular change. During the whole of the past
•eason business had been much reduced and retarded
for tho want or vessels to cany to foreign ports the
products of tho Island. Such have been tho com.
plaints of the press, aud wo see nothing in our
changes at this time, which reveals a different state
of nfiaira. With high freights and a scarcity of ves
sels, operations havo doubtless been more limited
than if such impediments had not existed.
The Sugar market remains almost tho same as
heretofore reported. The exports on the 7th inst.,
Amounted to 3,862 boxes—being on excess of 1,398
boxes over the exports tho day previous. I or sever-
Al classes of inferior quality no prices are quoted-^

and 9 rials. Crashed 54 to 64-other inferior quali

During tho week ending 2nd inst., there were ex.
ported 7,812 boxes, viz.: 4. r »l to New Orleans, 70 to
New York, and the balance to European and South
American porta.
Tho operations in the Coffeo market'were light,
and prices unchanged. Quotations ranged from 9i
to 10i* There was "no demand tor tho fine qualities,
and but little exported of any grade.
• Mexican Hides were worth 25 to 26 rials ; others
from 22 to 23. Only fivo hundred had been impos
ed during the week.
Tho total exportation of Molasses during the week
amounted to 724 hhds., nil of which, with the excep
tion of a small lot, came to the United States.
Cioakb.—The trade .was not very animated—total
exports 1,140,000. The exports ol leaf Tobacco,was

Cotton Titlevci.
It has long bceu suspected that a system of Cotton
stealing has been going on along our wharves and
around our warehouses, though with all the care ex
ercised it has proved difficult to detect those engaged
in such practices. During the day yesterday, as of
ficer Waring Rubsell was passing down Fuhin-st.,
somo suspicious cireumstanflo attracted his attention
to a grog shop kept by one John Carney, a white
man. in that street. He acted promptly in obedience
to his suspicions, and succeeded iu capturing n negro
man named Richard, the property of Mr. James
West, having In his possession a quantity of Sea Isl
and Cotton, for which he failed satisfactorily to ac
count; whereupon officer It. arrested the negro, and
took him before Justice Habt for examination, upon
tho charge of stealing the Cotton. He also arrested
Carney,the keeper of tho shop, outhe charge of
receiving stolen goods, and took him also before Jus
tice IlART. Who rOCOtrnlKfld tho prLonor in thoamn
of $1,000 for his appearance at the May term of the
Superior Court. The negro will bo brought up this
morning for examination. The Cotton 1ms been
Identified as belonging to Messrs. John Boston and
Henry Roskr. Wo trust the success of officer Rub-
BKLb in this caso will prove but tho commencement
of a complete clearing out of these petty thieves, and
the dens which have so long and successfully harbor
ed them, to tho injury of the Cotton and Produce deal
ers of our city.
The Indians in Texas—By recent advices from
Texas wc learn that tho Indians have bccotno trouble-

been hold at Laredo, for the purpose of taking some
steps towards redressing their grievances. Resolu
tions were unanimously carried, to forward the pro
ceedings to tho Governor, with a request that he will
have tho question of the guilt or innocenco of the Li-
pans inquired into, and that the facts of the peport
bo made known to the United States Government,
and an urgent appeal ho also made for a sufficient
mounted force.

attendance nt the hour fixed for tho opening of busi
ness. while the crowd even iu the gallery testified the
interest felt in the assemblage by all visitors.
At tho call of the Chairman, the proceedings were
opened with prayer hy the Rev. Christian Hauckcl,
1>. D., alter which, W'ilmut G. l)eSaunsure, Esq., was
appointed as Secretary pro (cm.
The Chairman stated that this was regarded strictly
a* an adjourned meeting, und that the Hon. W. C.
Dawson, of Georgia, who presided at tho former
meeting, was in due course expected to take the
Chair, as the presiding officer of the occasion. He
invited that gentleman, it present, to appear on the
platform, uuu Hike his post, which invitation was re
ceived with general npplau-e.
Mr. Dawson begged earnestly to bo excused. He
felt grateful for the honors already conferred, hut re
garded this as practically an original Convention,
and therefore desired that the duty of presiding,
whether regarded ns uit office or uu honor, should he
assigned to another.
Col. W. IL Sneed, of Tennessee, then moved that
each delegation appoint a coin mitten of three—the
members so named to constitute an organizing com
mittee, to report permanent officers for this Cottven-
volition. After several amendments, the resolution
was adopted, so as to require the committee to re
port in half an hour, or a.* soon as practicable.
On motion of Mr. A. F. Browning, of Charleston
the Hon. W. C. Dawson, ot (Jn., was invited and
xpcciully requested to take a seat on the platform.—
(Among thu guests nnd members specially invited,
and appearing on the platform, in addition to several
of our Clergy, we perceived his Excellency Governor
Manning. Lieut. M. F. Maury, U.S. N., Sir Charles
Grey, late Colonial Governor of Jamaica, and others.)
The Nominating Committee, constituted as above
related, retired, and after some considerable delay,
during which various call* were made for speeches,
without effect, presented the following report through

Tho nominating Committee also recommended
that the Convention do appoint a committee of Three
from each State to prepare business for the Conven
tion.
Tho report was unanimously adopted, nnd the
President, lion. W. C. Dawson, was accordingly con
ducted to the Chair, amid general applause.
He returned Id.* thanks iik-L forcibly and feelingly
for this renewed mark of cot.lidencc, received from a
large representation of the S .nth. Under all the cir-
cum.-tanro* lie felt coiiatrained to accept the honor
on condition that it was admitted and supposed he
had first declined it in good iaitli nnd sincerity. The
duties of such a post were far more arduous than
would he supposed hy a casual spectator, nnd ho on
ly t it assured by the conviction that the confidence
which placed him there, would induce his fellow del-
eg.it"' to support nnd sustain him under his assum
ed task. He then proceed- briefly, but must forci
bly and pertinently, to review the topics that would
naturally and properly engage the attention of the
Convention, which were chiefly those embodied in
the resolutions adopted hy the Memphis Convention.

The private calendar was taken up.
The. Senate passed thirty-six Senate hills and twelve

Mr. Chase introduced a hill grauting land to the
neinnuti and Mackinaw Railroad Company. Re
ferred.
Mr. Dodge reported a bill establishing an addition
al laud di.-lriet in Minesota. Taken up and nassed-
Mr. Badger said lie would be ubsont from the Sell-

Ir. Gwiu s.n i that on Monday lie would ask to he

Mr. Badger said the Senate had performed a gloil-.
is day's work aud therefore he moved it adjourn.
Adjourned till Monday.
HOUSE OF ‘REPRESENTATIVES.
Mr. Oit, Irani the Committee on Indian Affairs, re
ported n hill defining tho terms on which treaties
hull hereafter ho made with Indian tribes. Referred
to tho Committee of the Whole.
The House took up tho hill empowering the Po-t-
ister General to contract for carrying tho mails be
tween New Orleans anil Fan Francisco according to
time.
Mr. l’liolps moved to lay it on the table. Negatived
yeas,66 ; nays, 78.
Pending tho consideration of tho Bill the morning
hour expired.
Mr. Parker from the Committee on tho Judiciary,
reported a hill relating to the felonious burning of the
steamboat Martha Washington, and asked that it In
put on it* passage.
Mr. Parker said it would ho recollected that the
steamboat was burnt on the lower Mississippi, under
circumstances to sntiBly the public mind that there
t only connected with it the most stupendous
fraud*, hut over this, the high crime of arson and
murder. No less then sixteen persons lo.-t their lives.
Tho country for two years past lias been trying to
bring I lie offenders to justice.
Four or five persons supposed to he implicated
jrc arra.-t'-d under the laws of the United States,
and were tried in the Federal Court in Ohio, but for
want of testimony which has recently conic to light,
they were acquitted. They have, however.been since
nrresteil under n requisition of the Governor of Ar
kansas. They are unquestionably guilty. They arc
ii jail In Arkansas and the preliminary investigation
wiil come on, on the 17th inst. It is deemed not safe
to leave the ease to bo prosecuted by Philips county
without additional pecuniary aid. The hill proposes
grant pecuniary assistance nnd to compensate
tho.-o who made the arrests. The hill provides that
no part of this money shall lie expended towards the
prosecution unless the Secretary of the Treasury is
satisfied Hint the charge also involves a violation of
thu laws of tho United States. A hand of confeder
ates extends from the Eastern to the Western States
as far a* New Orleans, therefore it was necessary to
send to all the States to take these criminals and
procure evidence of their guilt. The hill was referred
to the Cominitto of the whole.
The President sent in a message announcing that
he hud signed the hill authorizing the construction of
x steamers.
The House then wont into committee oil tlio Gen
eral Appropriation Bill.
Mr. Caruthcrs, of Missouri, ppoko in favor of the
Nebraska bill, and was followed by Mr. Washburn in
opposition, after which the Committee rose, and tho
House adjourned till Monday.
From tho Philadelphia North American, 7th.
From Port nu Prince.
('apt. Harper, of the hark Charles E. Lex, at this
port, from Port au Prince, furnishes tho following
statement:—
Or the 5th of March, a French frigate, brig ami
steamer anchored ol! tlio harbor of Port an Prince,
under tho command of Admiral Dunuesnc, who at
10 o’clock that night demanded an audience with tho
Emperor, which was, of course refused, when a most
threatening letter was delivered, threatening that if
certain demands there were not accorded within 48
hours, that the French would resort to the most se
vere measures.
On the morning of the 7th, nt 6 o’clock, all the for
eign consuls were requested to meet immediately at
tlio house of the Minister of War, who told them what
bad taken pluco, aud that if tlio French Admiral re
sorted to the meusurcH that hiH letter said he would,
the Hayllcu Government could not he responsible for
any damages the citizens ol tlieir respective countries
might sustain, hut that the Government would never
submit to the exorbitant demands of thu French.
On the night of tlio 9th. nt 9 o’clock, the Emperor
gave his final answer, which was, that rather than
submit t" the French admiral’s demands, the Hayticn
government «hoahl ceitso to exist. Which declara
tion seemed to have u good effect, for, at 10 o’clock
tlio next morning, the French frigate hoisted tho
llaytion flag and saluted It. which was answered from
the forts on shore,
During this critical lime his Majesty acted with
great jiulgmont, prudence nud determination. The
Forts and fleet were got immediately in good condi
tion n* to guns, ammunition and men, nnd were
severally visited by the Emperor in person.
Tlio excitement on shore was very great, among
the foreigners ns well as the natives.
Business was dull, nnd Coffee nnd Money very
scarce.

of the Federal Coutuils “so far up as the Constitu
tion ran,’’ and urged prominently the necessity of
Hydrostatic gunges to note aud record the changes
cflected by the current on the hanks ol that noble
outlet.
He was frequently Interrupted hy vehement and
continued applause.
At the conclusion of his most appropriate remark*
the President requested tin* Vice Presidents above
nomimit'-d to take the a—igio d stations on the stage.
He then referred to the peculiarities of the building,
and to the crowded auditory present, which.rendered
it necessary to preserve the most perfect order, that
speakers might be heard. It was therefore expected
that g -iiUcmen not on the flour us speakers, would
keep absolute silence, while it wa* requested that'.lie
ladies would only whisper iu their softest tones.
The gentlemen applauded with their boots, the ladies
smiled approval of the reasonable request, so gently
urged, utnl “order reigned.”
On motion of Mr. Tlmma* P. Hutchins, of Mary-j
land, the Vice President* were requested to act a.* a
committee to prepare and report a plan of voting for
the Convention.
G. A. Tien holm, Esq., who in the consultation
meeting had been appointed Chairman of the South
Carolina delegation, ofiered the following resolution.
“Thatthis Convention recommends in the most
earnest manner, to the people of the South, and
more especially to merchant* in Southern seaports to
embark a suitable portion of their capital in the con
struction or purchase of ship*, to convey directly to
foreign ports our agricultural and other productions,
and to bring home return cut-goes of foreign commod
ities.
“ That a commercial marine capable of this service,
would relieve the South from an enormous tribute
now paid to other States of this Union, and foreign
countries, and turn the gain* of this lucrative nnd in
vigorating pursuit, into now elements of southern op
uletiee aud strength. Accompanying these resolu
tion* was a report entering into details on the sub-
Jcct.
Mr. Trenlmltn also offered a resolution that “in the
opinion of this Convention n material reduction ora
repeal of the duties now imposed on Rail Rnad Iron,
would materially conduce to the interests of all the
States, and that the Convention do |earnestly recom
mend the matter to the immediate and favorable atten
tion of Con 'ress.”
Mr. Trenliolm nlso offered a resolution to the follow
ing effect—That this Convention recommend to all
the States here represented, an exemption for one
year upon importations of all foreign commodities
directly imported into a Southern port.
These resolutions and documents were referred to
the General Committee ou Business hereinafter
named.
Mr. Morgan, of Vn.,submitted,ns information,sun
dry reports and proceeding.* of the Central Southern
Rights Association of Virginia, which were referred
also to tlio General Committee.
Mr. Marshall, of Miss., submitted a resolution de
claring—
That it is the deliberate sense of this Convention,
that the object for which we are convened, is the gen
eral development nnd maintenance of the rights and
resources of tho Southern and South-western Stales ;
and while we regard Commerce as the great coloniser,
civilizer nnd Christianizer of mankind, which, with
its various carying interests, demands our special con
sideration, wo also recognize ns onr legitimate busi
ness, all other matter* of a practical character, tend
ing to the accomplishment of the general design ;
embracing Education, Agriculture, Home Manufac
ture.*, Navigation, and the occupation of our vnst un
cultivated regions.
In support of tho nbove resolution, Mr. Marshall
addressed the Convention in tlio following terms :
Mr. President, I desire to submit this resolution for
the action of this body, at this period, for the purpose
of enabling us to define our position before tha world.
The Convention is called “Commercial," hut we do
not wish it understood that its sole object is to deal in
matters that smell of the Custom House or the ledger.
Yet, the idea has gone abroad, that our labors are
confined to the interests of trade ulonc. If I under
stand the true position of this body, this is altogcthcr
nn erroneous conclusion.
But the conclusion lias been reached by very many
intelligent citizens of tho States represented here,
through tho imperfect representations, made by the
news press, of the views of former meetings of this
body. Wc wish so correct these false idea*. We
wan t the whole sisterhood of States represented hero
to feel that all suhiect of practical interest to thorn,
are legitimate matters for onr consideration aud ac
tion. The Convention is not the creature of any class,
and it is only called tlio " Commercial Convention ”
by way of ciuiuenco. because Commerce is the great
Briaresii agent or colonizing.civilizing aud christian
izing thu world.
But, Mr. President, we wish so to define these
views, that every gentleman that may have ideas to
suggest, or plans to propose, having a tendency to
improve nud advance tho general well being of tho
States, may feel that ho is acting in harmony with
the general design und siiirit of this body, and not
contrary to it, when lie sliull appear in our midst and
take part in our toils and dismissions. There arc many
matters of vital importance to our section of tho U-
nlon. that do not at the first blush show their connex
ion witli trade and its carrying interests—its rail
roads, ships and steamers.
Some or these belong to the great work of Educa
tion, and the hooks and operations essential for the
cirrrylng forward of that work. And can tlieso mat
ters ho neglected or overlooked hy us? Why, those
States nro purchasing thousands and hundreds of
thousands of dollars worth of school books annually
that are got up, printed and published in the other
sections of this country, not well adapted to the latl
tildes, nor always teaching tho dootrine of philan-
pnrt, defenoe and responsibility.
Nor do any of those productions surpass In any
way similar works which Southern Rcliolarsbip haa
to Home extent prepared, and may, by tbe proper fos
tering* of Southern institutions and Southern ra«n,
produce within our own borders in unlimited abun
dance.
Mr. President, men. everywhere, are hobby-horsl-
cal ; und it is fortunate for tho world that tley are
so. Tho concentration of genius, energy and perse
verance, will ensure success iu almost any enterprise.
The several gentlemen composing this Convention,
have their favorite schemes; and hence they bave
matured their views and consolidated their arguments
on them. The merchant, the manufacturer, tbe na
vigator, tho railroadlst, bave their plans : and they
are plans that refer ut once to the full dcpelopmcntof
the country. And we pay to all und each of them,
God speed you. Bnt when your unopened forests
shall lie inhabited, and thousands of our population
shall press on to sunset, whnt provision shall they
find made for the necessities that will press upon
them then.
Sir,every bar of railroad Iron laid westward Is
pregnant with ut least as large a family as that con
tained in Noah's nik. And when those forest homes
are established, wc want their lienrths cheered and
illuminated with the periodicals of our own presses,
and the field schools, tto colleges, and tho universi
ties taught fmm standard work* produced by our
own authors, philosophers, nnd printers. And, Mr.
President, I rejoice that both at the Convention last
June, at Memphis, and this morning, also, again, you
were pleased, in sueli powerful terms and arguments
insist on the importance ot these matters.
But we desire to obtain the deliberate.and, if pos
sible, tbe unanimous expression of this distinguished
body on the general mutter of the entire resolution.
We want your views sterreotyped. Then, in all com
ing time, inen occupying different position and cber-
'sliing plans and views full of good things for the
.leople and posterity will feel that they arc in the le
gitimate sphere of their rights nnd duty, when they
take part with us, though commerce and railroads
may not he their favorite hobbies.
Nor is this the only good that may result. The
tropic, the press and the parties interested in those
oeal improvement.*, which these assemblies may,
from time to time, endeavor to facilitate, will not
view with a narrow and jaundiced eye the action of
their members, if they do not adjourn to the spot of
greatest interest to them with the arms of the knight
of the ditch, canal or railroad on their shoulder, to
pel form in person the work so desirable to be done.
Another consideration of grout moment is tho fact
that men of great wisdom, experience und sagacity
devised this Convention, and men ot sound judgment
and distinguished practical sense, have united with
them in the expression of the opiniou that its meet
ing* should lie kept up from year to year. And if
tliis lie done, whoenn tell Imw nmltifarious will be
the fields of future labor, or calculate the amount of
good that may he accomplished.
Wc know that some n .reflecting men have asked ;
and others will continue to u*k, what good can he
achieved hy a voluntary convention? If no other
good results, and no other fruit of our assembling
shall be found hereafter, the simple advantages of be
coming known, each to the oilier, and exchanging
our views and sharing the 1»oh; italities of our neigh
bors, and being thus drawn into more intimate rela
tions, and thereby cemented into one common broth
erhood, will compensate tlio States and those who
may represent them, a thousand times over. But, in
order to realize the great practical results which
must follow, sooner nr later, we must welcome to dis
cussion nnd development every question of practical
moment that may ask a response or a solution, aud
lot it he everywhere understood that the convention
will so act.
The resolution then took the usual course.
After conference and consultation of tho various
delegates apart, the General Committee on Business
nnd Resolutions provided for above, was constituted
as follows :
Maryland—Wm. Creighton, Geo. Rartlett. Joshua
Jones.
Virginia—Jn*. Lyons, Mycr Myers, Oden G. Clay.
Noi7/i Carolina—Dr. J. ILGihhon, 1*. K.Dickinson,

Tennessee—W. II. Polk, J. Knox Walker, Gen. W.
C. Ilvlo.
Texas—Mr. Ray.
Kentucky—Gen. Leslie Coomb*. Lt. M. F. Manry.
ln relation to tills appointment, a few words of ex
planation may ho given. Lieut. Maury, a native of
Tennessee, represents here the District of Columbia,
so far ns bis present official residence is concerned,
but was also a specially invited nud most welcome
participant in the deliberations. On tho call for Ken
tucky, however, Gen. Izislio Combs arose nnd stnted
that he was there alone in the representation of that
State, and would esteem it a particular favor if he
could obtain the loan of Lieut. Maury’s name and
services.
Tho proposition was met hy a general round of ap
plause, and the President remarking that he would
relieve the delegate IVotn Kentucky from the dilem
ma of appointing himself a committee, asked leave
to assign the representation to the States as above
given. The appointment wa* also hailed with gen
eral satisfaction, nnd the gallant “State of Ashland"
will not repudiate tho constructive citizenship thus
given to a distinguished aud meritorious son of a
sister State.
On motion of Mr. Perkins, of Louisiana, the rales
of the Congressional House of Representatives, so
far as applicable, were adopted for the Convention.
T. A. Parham, Esq., of the Chattanooga Adverti
ser, and a delegate from Tennessee, who was occupy
ing one of the sent.* assigned to Hie Press, called the
attention of the Convention to the difficulty experi
enced hy bis brethren of the editorial corps, as to
mimes. The names of gentleman offering resolu
tions were not in all coses known to tho chair, ami
lie hoped the proper step* would be taken to afford
information to those who wished to report the pro
cceding*.
At the suggestion of sovernl other members, it was
filially agreed that the Vico Presidents announce tho
names of •peakers from the several slates.
It was also ordered, on motion, that the daily ses
sions of the Convention should extend from 9 a. m,
to 3 p. m.
At 3 p. m., tha Convention adjourned. The Gen
eral Committee met fora few minutes, aud appointed
' lent. M. F. Maury ns their Chairman.
The interest felt in the anticipated proceedings of
tlio body was visibly increasing throughout the day,
and we expect a large concourse of viators to-day,
when business will fairly commence. We nro pleased
to report that, so far ns we have observed, our com
mittee* have left nothing undone that was required,
and tlie arrangements yesterday were generally satis
factory. The only Icar entertained hy somo of the
numerous representatives of the Press Irotn various
States, is that some speeches, both long aud dull,
nmy be inflicted—we hope not.

Wc are enjoying at this time the most baliny and
delightfol spring weather. During lust week the
du*t had become oppressive in nur streets until Sat
urday. when some welcome showers came to our re
lief. On Sunday, rain wn* failing gently at intervals
during tlio day until evening, when from a cloudless
skf the stare sliono out, aud tho moon poured down
her mild radiance over our refreshed and tranquil
city.
Vegetation is now springing forward under the
genial influence of sunanino aud showers—tho air is
perfumed witli the sweet smell of flowers,—gardens
are decked in their gayest attire, the groves are vo
cal with the song of birds, and all nnturc seems re
joicing iti the conviction, that atom winter has pour
ed hi* last icy breath on the gale. Wc may look for
gentle zephyrs and vernal showers, with all their
cliuruting influences, until summer comes with her
scorching beams. We regret, that owing to the re
cent frost, we shall not have our usual supply of
fruits to assuago the fervent bents of mid-summer.—

Distressing Shipwreck.—The brig Lucy Watts
for Tlioinastou, Me., which went ashore at East Chop
in Dec. last, was got off a few weeks since nnd towed
to EJgnrtown, where she was repaired, aud sailed for
tier original destination, having *hipped in nddition
to her own crew’ three seamen nt Edgartown. On
th(?26th,30 miles East ol Cape Cod, sprung a leak
and sunk with such rapidity" that the officers and
crew, six in number, barely succeeded in taking the
boats and escaping from tlie vortex of tlio sinking
ve**el. They drifted to Georges’ Bank, and alter en
during extreme sullering from the entire deprivation
ol food and exposure to the weather, they were pick
ed up by the schooner Village Belle, and landed at
Cape Ann, on Sunday, 2d inst. The three seamen be
longing to the Vinevard arrived hero on the 4th inst.
and proceeded to Edgartown in a perfectly helpless
condition from the physical suffering which they had
endured.—New Ilettford Mercury, April C.
Incendiaries are still in our mid*t. Yesterday
morning it was discovered that fire had been intro
duced through a small aperture in tlio door of store
No. 4 Hayno street, in which there is deposited some
six or seven hundred bales of hay, and which, had it
spread, would have afforded a fine opportunity for
plunder in the vast quantity of good* stored in that
immediate neighborhood. Fortunately the hay living
firmly packed in hales, did not ignite so readily as
was expected, and thb lire appears to have gone out
of itself, after burning a small hole in one of the
bales and slightly charring a place iu the floor near
to It.—Charleston Courier, lltli.

Special Correspondence of the New York Evening Poat.
More nt,out tin: Ilulaemiuui Letter,
Mil. kvkkktt’h draft burnt.
Boston, April 6,1864.
Dear Sir :—Since I wrote to you yesterday, I
have learned the interesting tfnioument of Mr. Eve
rett's and Fletcher Webster’s correspondence. As I
told you, the other executors, nnd such of tho old
friends of Daniel Webster as were informed of Mr.
Everett's application, were very much excited; but
when they learned that he Imd ordered a thousand
printed copies of the draft for general circulation,
they were alarmed, and, alter putting heads together
awhile, resolved Unit it must he stopped. They went
to Mr. Everett, and, between arguments nnd threats,
made hint tear up the draft letter and abandon his
pretensions forever. I am assured he tore up the draft
and threw it into the fire. 1 presume nil his printed
conies experienced a similar fate.
ilis case is a hard one, but I fear It is past cure.
The friends of Mr. Webster will insist, that, even if
Mr. Everett did hold the pen,he had been first cramm
ed by tlie Secretary, nnd tho substantial merit and
power of the document were derived from him. This
cannot easily lie gainsaid, whether truo or false ; and
Mr. Everett’s draft, after all, is only proof that the
phraseology is his, except to those who are prepared
to believe him better informed und prepared to write
tho document in questiou than Mr. Webster was.
Shuck by Ligiitnino—During a thunder storm
on Friday last, the dwelling-liouso ot Judge Ansel
Dckle.of this place, was struck hy lightning, doing
considerable damage to the building. It appears to
have struck the chimney.passing down that, tearing
oil the overhead ceiling—passed off through the
mantle-piece, milking a hole about tbe size of a rifle
ball. From thence it seems to bave struck tbe top of
the side ceiling of tbe northern corner, passing along
to the north-eastern corner of the room, where stooa
a bureau, on which wa* a looking-glass, breaking
tlmt into pieces and shivering one of tho top drawers.
Sec., passed out at tlie same corner of the room.
Mrs. Dekle was in tho room at tho time but
fortunately escaped injury. A double barrelled
shot gun which was loaded and standing in a ward
robe near tlie chimney, went off, lodging the con
tents in the ceiling. A rifle gun, also loaded, stand
ing beside the shot gun, did not go off. The dwelling
is a new one and bus been occupied but a abort time.
ThomanUle /1 r atchma n.
Frost.—Wo had a heavy fro it on Sunday night
last which laid lender vegetation low .and we fear did
much damage to oat* , as also to corn, and cotton out
of the ground. Irish potatoes, beans, cucumbers,
Bnnashes, Ac., that were not covered, have been killed.
There was also a sharp frost on Monday night, but
not so severe as the night previous.
Fruit, ir not entirely killed, is certainly injured.—
The ground was frozen in some places to the depth
of half nn inch. There was considerable ice, and we
have heard of Romo that whs Irotn a half to three-
quarters of an inch thick—'Ihomasville IVatchman,
