laws of the corporation. To the persons thus ap
pointed, the defendants were ordered by a writ of in
junction to deliver up the “ books, papers and prop

ordered that the defendants be committed to jail un
til they should comply with the decision of the Court.

the indignation reported by the telegraph.]—Eds.

Southern Commercial Convention—Pacific
Hallway.
We enjoyed the pleasure (by virtue of a ticket from
the Charleston Committee of invitation) of attending
Tuesday and Wednesday’s session of the Southern
Commercial Convention. Tuesday was taken up
principally with the presentation of resolutions upon
a vast variety of subjects, nearly all of which were
referred to the Committee charged with the duty of
matoring business for the action of the Convention.
It will be safe to say that nineteen-twentieths of them,
to the infinite astonishment and disgust of their au
thors, will never be beard from again. Hence the
wisdom of a Georgia ex-candidate for Congress, who
took occasion to make his speech on offering bis re-
soluUons, without waiting the happening of so doubt
ful a contingency as the reporting them back to the
Committee for the action of tho Convention. Il’
proposition suggested a method of settling what i*
somewhat familiarly known as the " Eastern Ques
tion a question which the diplomatists of Europe
having found too knotty for untying, their govern
ments bgvo resolved to cut by the Bword. Air. Mok-
ton of Athens, thinks that a commission, consisting
of Gen. Scott, Ex-Prestdent Fillmore and Senator
Bctlbb, would adjust it easily. And the Convention
actually listened to bis speech on the subject, and
even to a longer one on the same theme, from Mr.
Marshall, of Mississippi, not—we are happy to
hj—our friend of the " Southern Railroad.” Tues
day’s entertainment was appropriately concluded by
an address from Parson Brownlow, upon Texas end
Temperance, in which he went strongly for both.
Wednesday was occupied mainly with a discussion
of different propositions for the construction of a Rail
way to the Pacific. The speakers were Leslie Conns,
of Kentucky, Albert Pike, of Arkansas, Senator
Jones, of Tennessee, and Lieut. Maury. In the
speeches of Messrs. Combs and Jones there was
nothing original, striking or valuable. Each spoke
gracefully and fluently, and was heard without fa
tigue or the faltering of attention on the part of the
audience. Lieut. MAnty’s brief remarks embraced
one magnificent conception, which, however, we
snppose neither the speaker nor any of his hearers
believe will ever be realized. It was the construction
by the General Government, of a double track
railway from the Mississippi to tho Pacific—the same
to be kept in repair at the expense of the government,
and to be open to tho use of the citizens of the whole
country npon the same terms as is the Mississippi
River. That is to say, as every body may now run
bia steamboat on the Mississippi free of charge, so
whoever would, might run his cars, with no cost for
the highway, npon tho proposed double track rail
road to tho Pacific. To Bay nothing of other objec
tions, it strikes us that collisions, painfully frequent,
might be expected on snch a road.
But tho speech of the day—as wo little doubt it
will be considered afterjts adjournment, tho Bpecch
of the Convention—was delivered by Albert Pike,
the soldier, poet and lawyer of Arkansas. Many of
Us most important ideas may be found in tho follow
ing abstract of his resolutions:
That it is idle to expect of Congress substantial
aid to a railroad to the Pacific, south of tho free
States. That proof of the feasibility of a Southern
route, will array the North against it. That to await
the action of Congress, is to perniittlieappropriation
ot our common lands to the construction of a road
for the aggrandizement of the North. This is evideut
by the dissent of Northern Senators to the Gadsden
Treaty—by their determination to prevent the exten
sion of slavery, and to oppose inter-oceanic Southern
communications. That we cannot humble ourselves
by asking assistance from the North. That to avoid
this the several slave States combine with railroad
companies and corporations, to construct a road, com
mencing in a slave State, and to run by the El Paso
to some point on the Pacific. That Virginia bo ad
vised to incorporate a Southern Pacific Railroad
Company, with sufficient capital—commencing at
two points on the Mississippi, of which the several
States, companies and individuals, and if necessary,
the intervening tribes of Indians, shall bo corpora
tors. That the States be invited to toko two millions
of stock each, and to confer such franchises os each
may deem proper. That a committee of one member
from each State hero represented, do draft a charter,
and lay the same before the Governors of the several
States, and the General Councils of the Indian tribes,
and request them to take snch steps as may be neces
sary. This corporation to have the power to nego
tiate with Mexico for the right of way, and to enter
into all stipulations necessary to protect the citizens
and government of Mexico, and to purchase from In
dian tribes the right of way, and the prohibition of
rival enterprises. Thnt we aro able to build the
road, and ought to build it now.
These views were commended to the Convention
by one of the finest efforts of argumentation and elo
quence to which we have listened in many a day.
We sincerely trust that Mr. Pike will yield to a wish
very generally expressed by giving to the publio bis
gpeeob, prepared for the press by himself.
[Since the foregoing was written and put in type
we have received the Charleston Courier containing
a report of Mr. Pike’s remarks. It is very imperfect,
but, nevertheless, worth reading. It will be found,
■lightly changed, in another column.]
In regard to the Convention—a portion of whose
proceedings wo have thus noticed—we may remark,
that it seemed to bo a highly respectable body, not
only in the number, but in tho intelligence of its
members.
It is hardly necessary to add that tho people of
Charleston—proverbial for magnificent hospitalities
on all snltablo occasions—have spared no expendi
ture of effort or money in providing for tho comfort
and entertainment of their guests.
the prices at which they are furnished ; tho markets
in which they are chiefly sold ; and other items of
information, tendiug to show the present condition
and extent of our manufacturing interest; and that
said committee furnish to the Secretary of the Con
vention a report of their investigations, to bo laid by
him before tlie uext meeting of tne Convention ; aud
that it be the duty of said committee to address the
people of the States represented in this Convention,
and to urge the importance of action in the Legisla
ture* thoreof in favor of education, of manufactures,
of ship building, of direct trade, and of mining; and
that it be the duty of Baid committee to collect and
prcseut at the next meeting of the Convention statis
tics and other useful information relating to the in
ternational improvement of the several States—their
industrial resources, their mineral treasures, their
manufacturing facilities, and their capacities for
trade and commerce ; together with a statement in
which shall be set forth the names and lengths of the
several railways, their cost, and the increased value
which has been imparted to lands and other property
in couseqnence of such improvements.
RAILROAD IKON—-THE MERCHANT SERVICE—STEAM
COMMUNICATION WITH BUROPB AND TIIR AMAZON.
Resolved, That a committee of !*• appointed
to memorialize Congress in the name of this Conven
tion, and in the most earnest manner to urge the im
portance or and to pray for tho following measures,
viz:
1. The remission of duties on rrlroad iron.
2. The passage of an Act for the improvement of
the merchant service, by encouraging boys to go to
sea, and for preventing desertion.
3. To send one or two small naval steamers up the
Amazon, for the purpose of exploring the tributaries
of that river, which the States owning them have de
clared to be free to the commerce and navigation of
the whole world.
4. To cncourago the establishment of a line of mail
steamers between some southern seaport town and
the mouth of the Amazon, or some other port in
Brazil.
6. And also to encourage the establishment of a di
rect mail route by steamers, between some Southern
port and Europe.
6. Upon the improvement of harbors and navigable
rivers.
Resolved, That in the judgment of this Convention
tho adoption of the above named measures would
tend mightily to promote tho general welfare. The
interests of the country require them, and even hand
ed jastice should meet tbcin.
TRADE WITH BOLIVIA. PERU AND ECUADOR.
Whereas, The governments of Bolivia. Peru and
Ecuador have made the navigation of their Amazo
nian waters free to all the world ; and whereat, this
action on the part of those governments baa remov
ed those streams from the condition of inland wa
ters, the navigation of which is peculiar to the Ripa
rian States abovo, and placed them in the category
of arms of the sea, the navigation of which is as free
to all the world as is that of the great high seas them
selves; and
Whereas, The doctrine that the straits or natural
channel which connect lrec waters with the main
ocean, are also free, even though both banks of snch
chanuel-way belong to the same state, and be within
cannon shot of each other, is founded on the ever
lasting principles of right, and is sanctioned by the
law of nations ; and whereas, the attentiou of the
Federal Government has been invited to this subject
by a memorial from the Memphis Convention; there
fore be it
Resolved, That Brazil, the nation owning both
banks of the Amazon, at its mouth, has no right ar
bitrarily to shut out tbe world from the navigation of
its waters, or to prevent the citizens of the United
States from passing through tbe same, with their ves
sels and merchandise, to the Riparian States who
have invited us to come and trade there.
2d. That tho President of this Convention be re
quested, in the name of this Convention, to congratu
late the governments of Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador,
upon the enlightened and liberal policy which they
have adopted with regard to their Amazonian Pro
vinces, and to assure them of the deep interest which
tho people represented in this Convention feel with
regard to the free navigation of the Amazon and its
tributaries, to the speedy settlement of the country
drained by it, and to the development of its resour
ces.
DIRECT TRADE WITn EUROPE FROM THE SOUTH—RE
CIPROCAL TREATIES.
Resolved, That this Convention recommend to each
of tho Southern States having a seaport, to encour
age the establishment of a direct trade with Europe,
either by exempting from taxes, for a limited time,
tbe goods imported, or by allowing the importers an
equivalent drawback or bounty, or by such other
mode as to the Legislatures of the respective States
may seem best.
Jiesolvcd, That efforts should be made to establish
a direct line of steamers with Europe, from some
Southern port or ports, without farther delay ; and
that, in the event of the establishment of such a
line the united support of all tho Southern States
should be pledged, if possible, to sustain such a
line.
Resolved, That this Convention recommend to the
Government of the United States tho formation of
reciprocal treaties witli foreign governments for the
admission of their respective products at reduced
and equal rates of duty ; aud that the Senators and
Representatives ,‘rom the respective States be re
quested to bring the subject before Congress.
[This report being laid over lor the purpose of hav
ing it printed, the remainder of the day was occupied
with the presentation of resolutions and the discus
sion of the Pacific Railroad by Messrs. Combs, Pike,
Jones and Maury—a notice of which will be found
in another column.]
Squadron Parade—A detachment of the Firet
Squadron of Cavalry, comprising tho Georgia Hus-
■arcand tbe Effingham Haasara, paraded yesterday,
and were reviewed by Major P. H. Bern. At 10
o’clook, A. M., the detachment formed on Broughton
rtroet, and repaired to the parado ground, south of
the jail, where they went through the cavalry drill
and had an inspection of arms.
The exorcises over, the detachment marched
through some of tbe principle streets of tho city, to
tbe Bay, whero the command of the companies was
turned over to their respective officers. The day was
a delightful one, and the whole affair passed off with
out tbe slightest accidont or occurrenco calculated to
mar tbe pleasures of tbe occasion. The Effingham
Huaaars will leave for their homes this morning.
AYUBNiBUlf.—A full house at the Athennum last
night gave token of the pleasure uxpcricnoed from
tbe performances of Gabriel Ravel and his troupe.
To-night will bo presented a very attractive program
me. Jocko,by Gabriel, isonoof the most inimitable
characters assumed by this astonishing performer.
A boat containing three dead men was fonnd on
tbe Lake shore, about eight miles west of Michlgnu
City- They are supposed to have been fishermen
from Milwaukee, and died from exposure.
A Washington clergyman, a Sunday or two since,
wbil* stating adefldencv in tbe collections, remark
ed that since the Inane of three cent pieoea, the roven-
ne of the church ha* decreased nearly one-half.
The New Republic.
The Inhabitants of Lower California have address
ed the subjoined declaration to President Walker :
Declaration or Representation of the Inhabitant* of the
State of I/iwer California, of the Republic of Sonora, to
his Excellency the President, San Vicente, March 7,
1864.
Your Excellency—Tbe undersigned representatives
citizens aud property holders, of and in the State of
Lower California, in a convention held this day in
Sau Vicente, have the honor to communicate the re
sult of their deliberations to your Excellency, as fol
lows :
Since tho day on which tbe troops under your
command arrived at this point, we have been satis
factorily undeceived relative to the many exaggera
ted reports previously published to UH,of the excesses
invuriably committed by your soldiers ; we are, our
selves, present witnesses that onr homes and inter
ests have been respected, and our fumilies treated
with ail manner of kindness and consideration, we
have nothing to complain of, and arc satisfied that
such will be tho case in future. Satisfied, therefore,
with the invitation extended by yonr Excellency, we
hare voluntarily come forward in order to deliberate
upon the promotion ot the interests of our country,
by the establishment of the Government of the Re
public of Sonora. Considering tbe actual position
in which we are placed by the neglect and abandon
ment of the Supreme Government of Mexico, of
which we are subjects, we doubt not wc shall be im
measurably benefitted by making public this, our
declaration, because we feel confident of having in
the future, laws and justice which will protect us.
Yesterday, in your camp, we solemnly renounced
all allegiance to every other flag or government
which was not that of the Republic of Sonora, then
and there represented before ns, and voluntarily tak
ing the oath of allegiance to the New Republic, we
passed between tho two banners in token of submis
sion and here offer to serve yon faithfully unto death.
Sir, we doubt not that tho establishment of the
Government in the New Republic, will redound to
the honor and happiness not only of ourselves, but of
he country at large, because we believe that your
Excellency, by means of a wise constitution and pro
active laws, will guarantee our property and intcr-
•sts for all time to come. Therefore do we ask of
•our Excellency the establishment of an authority
.ivbicli shall be rec ignized by us, and sustained by
uch armed force as your Excellency may deem pro-
•er.
We request of your Excellency that the the provis-
?ns we have in band, and may receive in future, lie
ubjcct to your orders, when the requisitions are pro
perly signed by your commissary, which requisitions
rill always be cherefully complied with, confident
hat we will bo fully reimbursed hereafter.
We respectfully request of your Excellency to give
his, our representation, a favorable consideration,
nd grant by decree those portions which contains
. petitions.

On tbs tb* •abjoct or * Pacific Railroad, delivered In tho
floa thorn UommewUl Convention.
Mr. Vikb Mid that In everything which has been
Mid by the gentleman who had proceeded him he
•greed. He agreed that the Bouthern route to the
pact do wm tho cheapest, the most practicable, the
shortest, nod that it ought therefore to be adopted.—
He agreed that the General Government In fixing up
on any route ought to ho influenced by these consid
erations. [ Rut would It T Would Congress,’ controll
ed by a Northern majority, decide in favor of a route
through Southern territory and thus enormously In
crease tbe political and commercial power or the
Southern States 7 lie confessed that he had no such
hope. There was no use in closing our eyes to the
obstacles lu our way.] A true statesman was one
who fosessw and recognized tho existence of difficul
ties, and then prepared himself to meet and overcome
them. A true statesman did not act upon the suppo
sition that men were perfect. Reoognlzlng evil points
in human character, he would seise upon them nnd
endeavor to turn them to • sod account. There was
a North and a South, and there would be a North and
a South so long as this Union existed. There was an
Institution in the South which excited the feelings of
the North, but it was foolish to shut our eyes also to
the fact that there were other considerations in opera
tion-considerations of money and of commercial pros-
he proceeded further, he wished to set him
self right in regard to the motives by which ho was
actuated. Tho resolutions he had presented had been
characterized as ultra. It had been objected by some
gentlemen, that they were too strong. They were
meant and Intended to be strong. It was not cus
tomary to treat a cataleptic patient with Hwect per
fumes, but the cautery was applied at once. There
wes no hostility to tbe North—no ill feeling embodied
in these resolutions. He had none aud could have
none in mind. He was a Northern man himself. He
was bora in the good old State of Massachusetts.—
Years ago he haucorao to tbe South and cost his lot
with Southern people ; he had children, aud he had
hurried children in the South. He loved his country
—the whole country ; aud be would never give up
the inestimable privilege of planting his foot os an
American upon the battle ground of Bunker's Hill.
Rut when they bad a question of rivalry in regard
to business matters, to discuss, it was necessary that
they should talk plainly. It was not worth while to
deceive themselves or to be deceived. but as the Irish
man said the best way to avoid danger was to meet it
plump iu the face.
•Now there was a large portion of the United States
that never seemed to be taken into consideration by
Southern men. There waa, it should be remember
ed, a North-western section. We had been apt to
think that when we got a railroad as fur North as St.
Louis, that was as far os we could go. There wo*
the Northern portion of tho States of Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, the whole of Iowa and Wisconsin, Minneso
ta and Nebraska, that were forming a new country,
which some day would be the greatest country that
God's sun had ever shone upon. And now while the
South was sitting with her eyes shut, what was the
coarse which was being pursued by the North, ill re
gard to that country, for the purpose of filling it up
with a population, and giving it a preponderance
over the whole South 1 How many gentlemen were
uware of tho fact that with almost every breath we
drew, there came a Northern voter into this vast and
beautiful section, ready to cast bis vote for a member
of Congress. They had bid for the foreign emigra
tion, by providing tlmt all foreign emigration settling
in some of these territories should have the privi
leges of citizenship, without even declaring their in
tentions to becoming such. That was one bid ; and
the homestead bill, giving away millions of acres of
land, which had already passed the Houso of Repre
sentatives, was another bid. The Nebraska and
Kansas territory bill was another bid ; and all this
was being done while the South was lying idle. He
thought that there was lmrdiy a Southern man pres
ent who would agree to the law allowing the unnatu
ralized foreigner to vote side by side with him at the
polls. [Great applause.] The South did not want
foreign emigration ou any such terms. [Renewed
applause.] And in his deliberate opinion it was a
gross violation of the Constitution of the United
States, and a gross outrage upon the Southern States,
for any State or Territory to give the foreign emi
grant the light of voting before becoming a natural
ized citizen. [Continued applause.] He thought,
that of all tbe outrages the N orth had sought to com
mit upon the South, that waa infinitely the greatest
of them all.
He had travelled over all these Western Countries,
and in all his travels had never seen such a country
os that to be fonnd in the States of Iowa and Wis
consin. It was a perfect paradise in many re
spects, with the exception that it was too cold for
Southern constitutions. There could be found hun
dreds of miles of the most beautiful prairie laud, in
viting the Northern man to come and merely turn
over the sod, with the promise of reaping Ins fifty
bushels of grain ot the acre. Germans and "Irish, and
people from every other country were flocking to
Minnesota and Iowa. They get pre-emption rights
now by merely making a little shanty from the hark
of trees. Forty emigrants would go to that country
for one that would come Sooth. And what was the
cfiect? Why, that they were increasing their politi
cal power at onr expense. He did • not know that it
was not fair that they should do so if they could; but
the first duty which we owed to those who were to
come after us, was to ascertain the strength of our ad
versary, if possible, so that we might checkmate him,
if it were iu our power. How many years would it
be before twenty members of Congress would repre
sent this foreign vote? And with this continued in
crease in foreigu and Northern influence, was it not
obvious that the prospect of the South ever getting
the Pacific Railroad, was put further off every year/
Why even St. Louis waa beginning to see that the
North intended to carry the road far above her and
under this conviction to join in the demand for the
Southern route. Only think of five days’ uninterrup
ted steaming above the city if St. Louis, and could
not gentlemen sec at once that ttiat was the country
from which opposition to Southern interest was to
come? He was confident that during the discussion
of the Gadsden Treaty in tho Senate, it was cur
rently understood that Northern members would not
vote for it; aud that too, on the specific ground that
it was to get a route to the Pacific over Mexican soil.
Look too at the character of Northern men ? Who
ever heard of a Northern man giving another an ad
vantage in trade ! Had any body ever heard ol a
Northern man giving up tbe interest of his own sec
tion of country through mere good feeling ? No
man ever heard ot such a thing ; and it was both un
natural and unreasonable to expect it; and the men
of tho North knew full well that wherever tho Pacific
Railroad went,, there, too, would go the power and
wealth of the country. The North bad discovered
that, and they were not going to come down and say
to the South, that they did not want to control it, or
thnt the South should not have it. Oh no! that was
not their policy. They would be as silent as possible,
and os polite and courteous os possible, and thus the
South would be cheated out of their rights, aud they
could never know it till they were lost forever. Who
could expect the North to postpone or forego their in
terests for tho sake of ours ? Nobody. Suppose we
went to Northern men and said to them : “ We can
demonstrate that our route is five hundred miles
shorter than yours ; that it is cheaper on the score of
grades ; that we can get cheaper labor and cheaper
building materials, and we want you to go with us
for our route, because the result will be that the trade
of Iudia and China will come to New Orleans and
Charleston, and Savanuah aud Richmond, instead of
going to Philadelphia and New York and Rostou.and
we want you to help us to get it ?” Would he not
answer: " Do you think I am a fool? Aro not these
the very reasons why I should not go for it l" Most
undoubtedly such would be the answer.
Again it should be remembered that there were a
great many ingredients and considerations that enter
ed into the characters of public men. His experience
was that there is very little of patriotism, and much
of sectional feeling and local prejudice in our public
men. How many measures were passed by Congress
for which even six men out of the whole number
voted from mere considerations of patriotism? Were
they not affected generally by considerations of pe
cuniary and sectional interests? So in regard to a
Railroad to the Pacific. It was not purely a patriotic
question. Many men would say that they desired it
for the sake of protecting our possessions on that
shore. We also had motives of interest. We want
ed the trade ot India and China, and he (Mr. P.) and
the citizens of Arkansas, naturally enough wanted
it to come through that State in the hope tiiat it
would increase the value of their lands, and extend
by other means their commerce. The people of
Charleston also wanted it to pass to their city, be
cause it would increase their business and add to their
wealth. In all this there was much of seif interest,
and it was right that it should be so. Who was not
aware that the monied power of Wall street govern
ed the Legislature in Albany, and that the same prin
ciples prevailed more or less everywhere 7
Now he would ask, if there was auy more prospect
of this southern road being built, by the General («ov-
eminent than six years ago ? Not one whit. It was
well understood in the city of Washington that there
was no’chanco whatever in getting lands to aid in the
construction of this road. The special committee in
Congress.to whom the subject baa been referred, had
given up the idea, and General Rusk, of Texas, had
drafted another bill, in which he had said not a word
about lauds, but as chairman of the Committee on
Post Offices and Post Roads, wanted the Government
to give a bid for mail service for several years and to
pay in advance. But he (Mr. P.) had not the most
remote idea that it would be done.
HU resolutions next proceeded to say, that for the
Soath to be inactive in this matter, was to give active
co-operation to tho North in building a Northern rail
road. He believed that such was tho fact. What,
then, did he propose? He proposed that the Conven
tion should say to the South, os Hercules of old said
to the wagoner, “ put your own shoulders to the
wheel." Help yourselves. “ God helps those only
who do so : and he helps none others.” It was use
less to come together year after year, and time after
time, in Convention, urging Congress to do this
thing. They had been so urged nearly every year for
some years past, not only by Conventions, but by the
Legislatures of Southern States. They had had, line
upon line, and precept npon precept, and now it ap
peared to him that it was time tho South should help
themselves. And here ho must say that the tree way
for the North and the South to live peaceably togeth
er, waa for the South to become iridependeut of the
North. [Great applause.] Notindepeudent by tear
ing the national flag asunder and breaking up this
glorious anion of the States, but independent as God
in his providence, intended we should bo when lie
conferred upon the South ail tier natural advantages
she potsesses.
S Ho believed thelsouth ought to bo independent of
e North in the Union, and not out of it. [Much
applause.] If the South wanted the Southern rood
built, they might as well beqin to build it in that
way. as to have Congress build it. for if ever Congress
did build it tho South would havo to pay for the
Northern routes. And il the South was notable to
do it, the members of tho Convention had better go
homo at once and say no more about a Pacific Rail
road; for so far as he was concerned he was ashamed
to ask Congress to build the road with Northern
tnonoy. [Continued applause.] Ho would therefore
propose that tbe Southern StatCH shoull confederate
together, not by any unlawful confederation but in a
legal Union, for the puraose of building with their
own funds, this great Southern highway to the Pa
cific, [Rapturous applause.]—dealing as independent
States, negotiating if need be with Mexico for tbe
land; asking no Aurora fron tbe Northern SUtes,
and telling tho General Gorerntneat, '• if von want
your mails canted over on: road, yon will have to
psy us the price thst we charge, or build s road for
yourselves. [Long continual applause.]
Now there were two ootsiderallona in regard to
this rood, which always strick him with foroe. He
did not think that either the General Government or
any single State should owl such «n enormous mo
nopoly. He would rather se« twenty “ Bunks of the
United States,” than snch a monopoly In the hands
of any government. It would create a perfect army
of office holders if tho Government owned it.
He was equally disinclined to see the Road in the
hands of any individual company, for it would be the
most enormous monopoly the world ever saw. The
East India Compasy, who had dethroned king*,
would hardly be worth tbe name of a monopoly lu
comparison to this. No, no, the Road ought to be
held by the States ar partner*, and there would then
be no danger of its being a monopoly. But in what
way was the South to build the road and own it?
Imagine the State of Virginia euactlng a law to this
effect.
“ Re it enacted by tbe Legislature of Virginia, that
tho States of Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Tennessee, Mississippi, Arkansas,
Louisiauna. and ho or through all tbe fourteen States,
be incorporated into a body politic for the construc
tion of a Southern Pacific Railroad.”
When would there in all the annals of time be a more
glorious confederation ? [Cheers.] It would not be
a confederation to carry on war, but to turn the com
merce of the world across that portion of the coun
try which we inherit. That waa the kind of company
that ho would form. [Applause.] Could tbe South
form it? Ho «aw no difficulty. The bonds of tbe
company being given, nnd the stock hypothecated,
whero was the difficulty ? None, whatever.
Nay more; he believed tha: in 25 or 30yearn there
would not be a Southern State that would have to bo
taxed X single dollar, but tha; the road would by that
time have paid for itself, and be in a condition to
furnish a revenue adequate to the support of >vU their
State governments. Neither was he in favor of giv-
iug the profits of this road to the General Govern
ment. If, however, they could not get it in any other
way let them be clamorous for the Govarnnient to
provide it. Rut Ida opinion was that if it could not
be built in the way he had suggwtcd, they had bet
ter fold their arms and turn liick attention to some
scheme more practicable.
Something had been said h these resolutions
with regard to Indian tribes oi the frontier. This
was not nonsense. The lands ovned by the Iudians
through which such a road woull have to pass, were
owned by men who were our natiral allies—men who
were rich iu wealth, and who cdtivated arts of peace
and had already applied to us te give them a territo
rial government suited to their own peculiar institu
tions. He referred to the Chraktaws, the Chicka-
saws and CUerokees. He looked to tbe country of
the Chickasaw for that territory out of which to
mnkc another Blave State. Many of these Indians
themselves owned slaves. They wished to join ns :
they were willing to sub*cribe to our Railroads, and
it was important that we should secure tbeir co-ope
ration.
He had now detained the Convention longer than
he intended. He dii not rise to make a set speech.
He thought it was eiongb to suggest this plan to the
Convention. He erred not about the details. The
idea was thut the Srathern States should confederate
together and build :he road themselves. [Applause.]
Letter from Senator Douglas,
Washington, April 9.—Judge Douglas has written
a letter occupying eight columns of the Sentinel, re
plying to the resdutions of the meetiug of 25 clergy
men at Chicago, tnd defending tbe course pursued by
him in the debate in tiie Senate, upon the protest
from the clergynen in New England. He re-traver
ses tho grouud junmed at the time the protest was
presented, renevs the charge of outrage upon the
privileges of a Urge body of citizens, aud quotes a
portion of the x^marks made in opposition to the
protest.
Ho contends that the principle in the Nebraska
bill is identical with that contended for in the reso
lution, involviur only tbe right of the people in the
States to frame their own government, and that the
transfer of slavei from Kentucky to Nebraska would
be a benefit to tie slaves, and not alter the political
complexion of ‘.he country, simply reducing the
number of slavei in one State, where the land is ex
hausted, and inceasing in another where it is rich.
He denies that chrgymen, as such, have the right to
interfere in all mitters embracing moral and religi
ous truths, nnd intimates that the recognition of such
forever would prom subversive of tho principles of
free government, and destructive of ali guarantees
of civil and religion liberty.
The sovereign right of the people to manage their
own affairs in conforaiity with the constitution of their
own making, receces and disappears when placed in
subordination to .he authority of a body of men,
claiming by virtui of their office as Ministers, to be
a divinely appointed institution for the declaration
and enforcement of God’s will on earth. He argues
that it is necessarj to annul the 8th section of the
Missouri Compromise as inimical tofreo government,
and denies thut a treposal to do so Ib a breach of
faith.
The letter is argumentative rather than denuncia
tory, and milder tian might be expected from Mr.
Douglas, but is stil tart and sarcastic in mauy points.
It is designed as a vindication of his character and
covers all his position in regard to his opposition of
the protest of the clergymen of New England. It
shows mnch care, and is calculated to create much
interest.
He also says, you see that the principle of the Ne
braska bill is purely a question of self-government
involving the right and capacity of the people to
make their own laws, and manage their own local
and domestic concerns. This is the only controvert
ed principle involved in the hill. I am unwilling to
believe that upon mature reflection, and with all the
advantages which your Christian character and ex
perience may enable yon to summon to yonr assist
ance, yon will sanction the declaration that a propo
sition to carry this principle is a great moral wrong,
exposing os to tho righteous judgments of the Al
mighty.
United States Revenue.
The strong box of the United States is again threat
ened with apoplexy. The surplus in tbe sub treasury
is on the increase, and at the last official showing was
within a fraction of twenty-nine millions, exceeding
even the large amount held in September last, and
which was at that time seasonably reduced by heavy
payments for the redemption of the public debt, and
disbursements for the army. Though the Secretary
of the Treasury baa estimated that tho receipts of
the present year as compared with 1853 would show
a considerable falling off, the result thus far has indi
cated a contrary exhibit. The receipts for the first
quarter of 1854 are in advanoe of those for 1853. The
New York Journal of Commerce furnishes the folio-
ing comparative table of the receipts for tho first
quarter of tho present and the previous year, that is

Case Heard From.—Harlow Case, the defaulter at
Sandusky, Ohio, has been heard from at Malta, in the
Mediterranean. His paramour, Mrs. Francis, wrote
from that place to her husband in California, saying
that Case was about to die, and wished him to come
on and forgive him before he died. Mr. Francis sold
out a profitable business in California, and went to
Malta. When he arrived, the wretches had gone, no
one knew whither. Mr. F. is now destitute and writes
to his friends at Chillicnthe for meuna. Tho affair is
unique. Case was a government officer, Francis his
deputy. Case took the government money and Fran
cis' wife and vamosed. Francis ran after him ; and,
aRer getting half round the world, ostensibly to puli-
ish them, has compassed tho other halt to give the
errant couple his forgiveness.

A letter received here from Hayti, states the result
if the late demand of tho French Admiral upon the
’-mperor Bonlouque somewhat differently to the nc-
ounts previously received. The demand for the pay-
nent of tho back indemnity money duo France, a-
nounting to *160,000, with a threat to bombard tho
own if not paid. The writer states that the money
vas paid, and then the Admiral saluted the Haytien
'ag. The foreign ConBnls did not side with the Era
ieror in the matter.

Porto Cabello dates to the 25th ult. have been re

mancipation of the slaves at an early day. Tnis

toped thereby to gain greater influence with tho
uasses to enable him to retain his power or confer it
n his brother, who is a candidate for tbe Presidcn-
y. Produce was coming in abundantly. Coffee was

Mr. Webster and the Hulsemann Letter.—It
lay not be amiss at this period, while the questiou of
he authorship of the Hnlsemann letter is discussed,
> give Mr. Webster’s own testimony to the fact, in a
peech made in Washington City, on tho 7th of Jan
lary, 1852, at the Kossuth Banquet:
“ May I bo so cgotistic&l as to say, that I havo no
ting now to Bay upou tbe subject ol Hungary. Gen-
lemon, in the autumn of the year liefore last, out of
ealth, and retired to my parental home among tho
lountainsof New Hampshire, I was, by reason of
iv physical condition, confined to ray house; but
was among tho mountains, whose native air I waa
ouod to inspire. Nothing sainted my senses, no
ting saluted my mind or my seutimeuta, but free-
om, full and entire, [applause,] and there gentle
ion, near the grave of my ancestors I wrote a letter,
/hich most of yon have seen, addressed to tho Aua-
rian Charge d’Affalres. I can say nothing of the

Action or the British Authorities.—Sir Geo.
Bonham, the British Envoy, has approved the proceed
ings of Mr. Alcock, and tbe British residents rf
Shanghae, In resisting tho Imperial troops which
penetrated Into tho foreign settlement on the night
of November 14. At tho samo time 8lr Goorge en
forces npon the British community the absolute ne
cessity of abstaining from all acts calculated to cre
ate even a suspicion in the minds ot tbe Chinese that
they have violated a strict neutrality. Bir George

Nankin presents more the appearance of a vast
camp than a city—the houses within the walla have
not been destroyed, but bear traces of having been
violently broken open. The disposition of the Kwang-
se revolutionists towards foreigners is decidedly friend
ly—the term •• brother ” being universally applied by
them in addressing us. The Cossiul, after remaining
a week anchored at Nankin, set off on her return to
Shanghae on the morning nf the I4th, and accom
plished her passage down to Yang-tszc without any
incident worthy of notice.
Increased Export of Tea and Silk.—Tho China
Mail says that, notwithstanding the revolution, the
exports of tea are several millions of pounds more
than double that of any previous half year—the dis
turbances being now found to augment the stock of
••Taysams” (silk) offered for sale.
Tho Friend of China says—particulars of the pro
gress of tho patriot army, us brought by the lost ves
sel from the north, are scanty. But those reports in
the Pekin Gazette of a scries of defeats, readily be
lieved by the credulous aud partial, have proved, a*
we anticipated, altogether wanting in truth—subse
quent papers containing news of the Patriot’s nearer
upproach to the capital; whence, according to intel
ligence equally as reliable as the Gazette’s, they were
distant, at the cud of October, only six miles; the
main body being in possession of a broad causeway
leading direct to Pekin,between which and their po
sition ihere were no formidable obstacles in the shape
of bills, fortresses, or rivers. Bo determined were
the leaders of the Patriots there should be no turning
back, that the bridges over which they had passed
were immediately destroyed.
Removal of the Capital From Peking.—Ten
days later, tho same paper, under tbe caption oi
'* Significant,” says •• Iiieu-Fung, the Tartar Empe
ror, has ordered the Revenue to be sent to Shing-
king. Monkdcn, not Peking, is now tbe capital of
China.”
The Disturbance near Canton.—The same pa
per says the Kowloon soldiers have again revolted
for the arrears of their provision money, and were
only quieted for a time by a gratuity of *5 per man.
The last reports from Szema in the Canton province,
where a local insurrection has taken place, are not
favorable to the insurgents.
The Imperialists in Trouble in Amoy.—Advices
from Amoy are to Dec. 11th, at which dale the place
was quiet, although the anticipations ol trouble Irom
that part of the Imperial Navy known as the West
Coast Pirate body, which had aided in causing the
rebels to evacuate tho city, still continued, the lead
ers of the fleet refusing orders to Canton, aud clam
oring iondly for payment of some *10,000.
The Siege of Shanohab.—At Shanghae the Im
perialists exhibit such a contemptible front, that
even those who, up to a recent period, entertained
some hopes for a reversion to the old order of things,
are changing sides ; and sympathy with the Rebel
Triads, low and unworthy in tbeirdeportment though
they appear to be, is becoming the fashion among all
classes.
From Ningpo and Fuh-chow, wc have no late in
telligence. It was rumored at Shanghae that the
Rebels who evacuated Amoy had proceeded to and
captured the last mentioned place ; but there was no
truth in tbeir having gone thereat all ; indeed, the
report, to any one remembering the large bodv of
Tartar troops stationed at Fuh-cuow, bore on its face
the stamp of improbability.
Great Destruction of the Pirate Fleets by
TnE Hermes.—Sharp Fighting.—The British sbip-
of-war Hermes reached Amoy on the 11th December,
and reported having had several engagements with
the numerous piratical vessels on the coast. The
Hermes had started out of Amoy on the 24th of No
vember, iu consequence of intelligence having been
received that the English brig Fortuna and tbe Por
tuguese Lorcha No. 70 had been captured by the pi
rates. On the 25th the Hermes discovered 22 pirate
junks, near a village. As the Hermes’ boats neared
the beach they were fired on by the pirates, number
ing a body ol 800 well-armed men. After a little
sharp firing on both sides, tbe pirates retreated, and
the English took possession of tlie junks—19 of which
were found to be heavily armed with guns and spears,
and large quantities of powder, ball and stinkpots.—
All these vessels were set fire to, and from the loud
ness of the reports, tbe quantity of powder on board
must have been enormous. Next morning the Hermes
moved farther np tho bay, making for an inlet where
were seen a good many junks’ mast heads. Before
reaching them, a boat rowed alongside with two Por
tuguese, one of them master of Portuguese Lorcha
No. 70, which he said had just been plundered by the
villagers, headed by the Mandarin or the place, they
having succeeded in re-capturing her from the pi
rates, who first took her.
The English landed—the Mandarin fled—tho doors
of his houso were broken down, and within was
found a part of the Lorcha's cargo. Captain Fish-
bourne, of the Hermes, then directed a large junk
lying off the Mandarin s house to be set on fire. Jnst
as this was effected, about five hundred men rushed
out ol the walled village with a hideous yell, and at
once opened fire upon the Hermes’ party from gin-
galls and matchlocks, but precautions had been
taken to prevent surprise ; a party being drawn up
ready to salute them, which was done most effectual
ly, aided by a few shot and shell from the ship, one of
which pitched into the Mandarin's house, and soon
silenced them. Tlie jnnk was then burnt. Next
morning another large pirate junk, heavily armed,
was discovered, run on shore and burnt. On the next
afternoon, Nov. 28, tho Hermes chased and destroyed
three more pirate jnnks.
On the morning of Dec. 1st, tho Hermes came npon
8 more pirate vessels under sail in Tokapo Bay. It
was then blowing a heavy gale and a very heavy sea
running, but tlie Hermes opened lire on them, at first
with but little effect, owing to the felling and pitch
ing motion of the ship. The junks then formed in
to two divisions, and it was intended to show fight,
bnt on the Hermes nearing them, four made a run
for it, endeavoring to weather Tokapo point. Al
though they were admirably mancenverea, the Her
mes plied them well with shot and hemmed them in
so that they were driven ashore. These vessels were
admirably fitted. Cne had fonr 24 pounders, quite
new, one long 18 and three 12 pounders, all new
English guns and carriages, with ali the new im
provements, elevating screws, compressors and dis
parts, with English flannel cartridges, case, grape
and round shot, and bad the weather been fine they
would no doubt have given the Hermes a hard tug.
Tho prisoners afterwards said they intended to
fight, hut the sen was so heuvy they could not cast
their guns loose. Four of the fleet eventually es
caped. Such Chinese pirate vessels, so well fitted up
aud efficiently found, was never before seen. On the
3d of Dec., two more were secured and six burnt, af
ter a hard fight with tlie pirates and the villagers on
shore. They were ali well armed with new guns, well
mounted, and were indeed a most formidable squad
ron, capable of doing much mischief. Thus, in ten
days, one vessel commpietely demolished a formi
dable fleet of 40 jnnks. manned with 1200 men and
carrying 155 guns, 43 of which were 12 pounders and
7 eighteen pounders.
The Island of Formosa.—Tho Friend of China
says We are not able to ascertain what has been
done at Formosa by those reported on a former occa
sion as being in anus against the Tartars. The
Island, wo may expect, however, is now no longer a
depency of the Chinese Government.
The unruly spirits about Canton have been muster
ing in large force during the last month, and a great
fight has been announced as for to-day. Tlie insur
gents. driven to action by tho barbarous conduct of
the Mandarins and their lawless soldiery, propose to
make themselves mAsters of Hwuicbao and the Bogue
forts before proceeding to Canton. But we can only
speak of that section of the insurgents with whom
onr passengers havo come in contact; others or the
ill-disposed may bring matters to a crisis before the
Sze-ma people have consummated their intentions.
Insecurity op tub British Conquests in Bur-
mah—The Friend of China contains a late letter
from Rangoon, the captured capital or Burraah, which
says : 4 * No trading boat can venture out of the town,
nor can produce be brought down the river, and as a
consequence most vessels have to depart in ballast;
whereas, with a little foresight and energy on tho
government, all this insecurity might havo been pre
vented ; nor as yet can we perceive auy adequate
measures being adopted to remedy the woful state of
tho country ; and until this is effected, trade must re
main as now depicted, flat, stale, and unprofitable.”
The Dublin Nation says thnt over Mr. SMrrn
O’Brien’s chimney niece, in Richmond prison, there

“ From information brought here by a gentleman
who had met Licnt. Com’dg. Page, commanding tho
U. S. steamer Water Witch, I learn that that officer
had ascended tho Paraguay river six hundred and
seventy miles above tho city of Assumption, and had
met with highly satisfactory results. Tho river had
been surveyed as Tar as tlie steamer has penetrated,
and charts showing the shoals, currents, Ac., in that
river were being prepared. It was also found that
four cords of tho wood obtained In that region of the
country, was sufficient to crablo the Water Witch to
