Lamau, Chas. Grkkn. Jos. Bukkk, V. A. L. Lam ah, Tiioa. Holcombk, Jno. H. Davis, Mr. G. B. Lamar was elected President of the Bauk, aud Mr. Jno. C. Frurili., Canhiet* The former has been for many years the Presi- dent of the Bank of tho Republic in New York, aud hU name, as ono skilled hi tlnauelal affairs, will give groat strength toouruew institution. It gives us great pleasure to hall the pronto- ttou of Mr. Jno. C. Fkkrii.l to the olTlee of Cashier, so long Teller of the Planters’ Bank of this city. While we realize the loss the latter Institution will sustain in his resignation,we at the same time appreciate the gain of the Bauk of Commerce in so admirable an officer. We understand that the Bank will soou go into operation, with a capital paid in of 4300.* 000. Tho great difficulty which our community has heretofore labored under, viz : the want of capital for business, is being speedily relieved. We will be enabled at the opening of the next business season, by the assistance of our enter, prising citizens, to offer facilities equal to every requirement of trade. A Stranger in our Waters.—Wo had the pleasure of meeting many of our mercantile friends at tho invitation of our enterprising merchant Mr. Joseph W. Wcb9ter, on board of the beautiful schooner which bears his name. She is one of those large sized schooners which seem to be coming much lu vogue, and like the iMyal Scanton, belongs to the lino of New York packets. We hall the accession of such beautiful craft to onr wntora, aud Merchaut Marine. As may be supjtosed our host did not allow ua to thirst the while, the glass, the toast, the merry jest passed around, the setting sun onlv too soou reminding us of the shore, and tho fact tlmt like all mundane pleasures,we should bring to a close the christening of the Joseph fF. fVebster. Mr. Bright.—The Indiaua State Sentinel is authorized to say that Hon. J. D. Bright’s name will not be before the Cincinnati Convention as a candidate for the Presidency. Should the Presidential nomination be given to the South, we doubt whether the Convention could do better than nomluate Mr. Bright for the Tice Presidency—the post which he now holds as presiding officer of tho Senate. His Democracy is of the adamantine—or, to speak oonchologically,—of the hard shell order. Georgia and Florida Railroad. The Albany Patriot, of the 8th, contains the first annual report or the President and Engi neer of the Georgia and Florida Railroad. The road, we understand, will he finished from Americas to Albany, by October 1st, 1837, though a portion of it will lie finished much ear lier. President Tirr makes a calculation which works out the nett profits of the road, when fin ished to Albany, at over 10 per cent, per an num. We extract as follows: This calculation is based on existing facts, and the comparative business of the South-Western Railroad, with which wo councct, aud is es teemed to be a calculation which will be realiz ed in practice. But if any one is sceptical, ho may reduce the cotton receipts even to 40,- 000 bales, aud the return f reights and passen gers in the samo proportion, and he will still find a nett profit of 840,400, or more than 11 !>er cent per amuun upon tho capital invested. The charter of onr Compauy extends from Albany to Thonmavllle, 67 miles, aud thence to the Florida line, in the direction of Tallahassee, 14 miles, making a Trunk Hue from Americas via Albany and Thomasville of about 100 miles, with the privilege of branch roads which is en joyed by the Savannah, Albany and Gulf Rail road Company. This load is destined to form the great North and South avenue for trade and travel between the Gulf coast of Middle Florida aud the interior of Georgia; und if the two great projects now in process -the Savanuah, Albany and Gulf ltailroud and the Brunswick and Florida Railroad—should cross our Road, the first through Albany to Mobile, according to their charter, and the other through Thomas ville, it would add value to the stock of the several roads; they would cross ut right angles to our road, und thus form mutual feeders. Tire Port Pkhcivai..—Dr. Percivul tho poet, whose death is announced as having occurred in Illinois a few days since, though a native ol* Connecticut originally commenced the practice of his profession as a physician in Charleston, 8. C. He was appointed in 1824 an assistant surgeon in the II. 8. Army, and his fine scien tific attainments caused him to be nominated professor of chemistry ut West Point, hut he resigned his commission. The latec yeurs of ills life were devoted to geological labors. Dr. Percival never married. He was a man of sin gularly retiring and unobtrusive manners, ami seemed to delight in solitude. A bill lias been introduced in the British House of Commons by the Attorney General, for the purpose of punishing as criminals trus tees who have abused their trust. The hill is likely to become a law. There is, perhaps, nothing which more re quires the attention of legislators than tho con. duct of trustees. Yet a law of the nature above proposed, if carried into effect, would cause all persons to decline an office which is a thankless one at liest, und, under such circumstances, would tlx frequently criminal responsibility on au innocent party. The abuses of trustees are oflener by an over-indulgence to the ceriui ijue trusts than in any other way. The Ijest method which could be adopted, would Iks to place trus tees (wlicu they accept tho trust) upon tho same footing as administrators, causing them to give l>ond and make returns of receipts, expen ditures, &c._ .

Latest Ititllnii News 11 Nothing of thrilling interest this week, lu fact, tho only news we have is, that six Indians were hccii, at tho 0-Mile Creek, six miles from this place, on last Sunday, by a negro man. Ho reported the facts to his master, and tho place indicated was Immediately exumhicd, unu five inoceuson tracks were discovered. The report is, doubtless, authentic.

The latter were one, two and three years old. say that l feel eneouragomcr other and abler and letter men than I have taken tho samo view of their duty In this crisis which my own convictions have pointed out to me. From all parts of tho conutr.v comes the cheering intelligence that gallant, and patriotic, aud high-minded leaders of the old whig party, ever faith fid to the conservative principles which they have professed, are rallying to the defence of the constitution from the attack of its fanat ical assailants. On which side soever of this chamber I cast my eyes, I behold men whom the whig party ever delighted to honor lending their courage and strength to the success of that common cause which we together have es poused. Sir, the end is not yet; others will fol low. The time will come, and come very soou; sooner thau they think. As the desigus of the enemy Itccomo more and more developed, the patriot hand will be augmented with trosli re cruits. Yes, sir; let the note of alarm be sound ed through the laud; let the people only be in formed; let them l>e told of the momentous cri sis which is at hand; and they will rise in their might, nnd, placing their heel on tho head of the serpent that has glided into their Eden, they will crush It to the earth,once nnd forever. We owe it to our respect for Judge Love to publish the following commhnication, though as to tho facts luvolved, we suppose the letter of Gov. Broome conclusive. The reason why Judge Love's card has not appeared earlier in our columns is that the paper containing it was mis laid : [From tho Thomasville Watchman.] To the Savannah Journal. In the issue of the Watchman before the last, I published a communication over the signature of “Hope,” in which was tho following sen tence : “ There is a charter in the State of Florida for aroud from Tallahassee to tho Georgia line, which was obtained and is now held for the sole purpose of connecting with any road naming from the Atlantio through here (Tohmaaville) towards the Gulf, and that this road would he built by tho time, or before, the Main Trunk would reach this place, no one tor a moment doubts." The Journal among other things, says, tlmt iftlio facts stated in the above sentence can lie properly established, they would materially af fect the public sentimont in regard to the loca tion of tho Main Trunk Rond. I quoto botli my own nnd the Journal's language from recollec tion. The.se facts were stated upon tho authority of W. O. M. Davis of tho city of Tallahassee, a gentleman of high character and confessedly one of the best lawyers in the State of Florida. For the last two days I have had the pleasure to travel with Mr.W . R. Pettes of the same place, whom the editor of the Journal knows well, and he confirms the facts as stated by Mr. Davis. Mr. Pettes gives mo tho further informa tion that the company is not only regularly or ganized, (of which by tho w ay both Davis and lumself arc members) but that the line has been surveyed aud located, aud a profile of the route filed in the office of the Secretary of State as re quired by law. I learn also from Mr. Pettes tlmt tho company havo the privilege of running their read, if they wish to do so, to the East Pass on the Apalachicola river, which is the best harbor on tho whole Gull const excepting the hays of Pensacola and St. Andrews. Necessary absence‘from liume for several weeks, and pressing engagements, will prevent my giving further Attention to this matter for tho present, hut, 1 promise the Journal that il it is desired, I will when convenient, get up the law and the testimony, and put the question be yond doubt. P. E. fiovi;. Theology of i\nv England. Rev. David Wallace pastor of tho Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church of East Boston, lms lately published a thick phumphlct in which he makes an effort to give u true view of the New Englaud Theology of the present, as judg ed of by her leading divines of the present nud past generation. The following ore the conclusions to which the writer comes: "There are some among the orthodox of New Eugland, wno hold und teach the doctrines of the IWestmlliter Confession of Faith, as held and taught by the Puritan fathers. This class, it is to be feared, is not numerous. There is another class of the orthodox which must ho re garded os holding und teaching, to all intents and purposes, the Anueninuisin of John Wes ley. This class is increasing. The tendeucy of things seems to lie to sink all doctrinal differen ces between Wesleyans and Calmians.'’ "That theology, however, which claims to he the theology ot New England, embraces the great middle class. It teaches tho decrees of God, a particular providence, election, nnd the perseverance of the saints, as taught by Calvin ists generally. It rejects the imputation of Ad am’s sin and Christ’s righteousness, and a limited efficacious atonement It asserts tlmt man’s ability is commensurate with his responsibility, and tlmt his inability consists altogether in his unwillingness. As to the doctrine of sin, de pravity, aud regeneration, there exists a diver sity of opiniou. Some bold to a depravity of nature antecedent to actual sin, and to a degen eration of spirit, in which man is altogether passive. Others reject the doctrine of n sinful nature, assert that all sin consists in unholy and sinful exercises; ami teach a regeneration, which is hut a change in the governing pur pose of the soul.” Shipwreck ami Awful Suffering at Sen— Ten Uvea Lost-.Narrative ofC'nptaln Rudolf* [From tin* quo hoc Gazette, May :i.] We have by private hand news from St Johns to the 19th ult. The seal fishery had so fur been pretty good. About 40 (one-fourth of the whole Heel) had arrived, with about 100,000 seals. It was feared, however, nimt the remainder would meet with but indifferent fortune. A dreadful shipwreck had occurred to a vessel commanded hyCnpt. Rudolf, well known among us. Tho British hark Blake, of KOO Ions, Edward Budolf master, belonging to Messrs. Firnie, Bro* there & Co., of Liverpool, England, sailed from Ship Island harbor, State of Mississippi, Uni ted States, with a cargo of pitch-pine deals, bound to Gork for orders, in fine trim nnd beau- ful order, on tho 8th February last, with a lino fair wind aud weather, with every hope ol’niak- ng a good and prosperous passage. On the 13th, during a snow storm, she was capsized;seven wore washed overboard, the decks buret open, all tho hatches washed nil’, and every morsel of provisions carried away. The remainder of those on hoard were without food or drink for five days; on tho eighth day a small cask of water was got at and a half drown ed rat was caught und devoured; afterwards a man died and his body was reserved to be eaten and was actually eaten In part , when on the ninth day after the disaster, the schr. Pigeon of St. Johns, N. F., hove in sight, mid rescued tho sufferers, Eight persons were washed over- lioard ; two died of cold and starvation : aud seven were saved. Ex-Mayor Curtis, of Chicago, has retired on a farm of 3,300 acres, which cost him about threo years ago $23,000. This farm is now worth $90,000, and rising in value.

VIRGINIA I'OI.ITICS, Tho Petersburg Congressional District in Con* volition, for the a ppolntment of delegates to Cin clnnatl, refused to passed a resolution intraduo. cd in favor of the nomination uf Gen. Pierce. The result however, says the S. S. Democrat, is no indication of the feelings of the Convention in usmuchas many of his friends voted to lay it on tiie table. Before the selection of the dele gates, those in nomination were reftised to de tine their position. This was done by Messrs. Meade aud Ifarvle, (who were afterwards chos en) us follows: Mr. Meade avowed that, first of all, his vote would be cost for that man whoso record squar ed best with tho democratic doctriue, and whose nomination would tend most to advauce tbe true interests of his party—that, though of ull men hi the country he preferred the llou. It.M. T. Hunter, he was iu favor of tendering the stand ard to our northern friends, aud that among the threo most prominent of them, he had hardly a shade of preference—that he eudorsed hearti ly Mr. Pierce’s political course, aud regarded him a Bafe, sound and reliable democrat—that Messrs. Douglas and Buchanan he looked upon as equally reliable, and as betweeu the three the Convention could hardly err In the selection of either—aud though of the three northern men, as iu the case of Mr. Hunter at the South, hopersonully preferred Mr. Buchanan, he could uot say that he should cast his vote for him at Cincinnati—that he should go there prepared to sacrifice everything hut principle for the good of the cause. Mr. Harvie declared frankly that his prefer ence was for R. M. T. Hunter over any man liviug—that if he tiad the President to make, Mr. Huuter would be his man for the position, but that liko Mr. Meade, in the peculiar condi tion of affUirs, he was for tendering the stand ard to the North, and that he looked for tbe nomination of Mr. Hunter as only a resulting ef fect of inability on the part of the North to agree upon one of its leading statesmen—that, like Mr. Meade, he should goto that Convention with uo predjudlces in his heart agaiust the nomination of any of the eminent statesmen whose names have been mentioned in that con nection, but that he felt constrained to say, that his decided preference was for Mr. Pierce above any of the Northern candidates, hut that, as in the case of Mr. Hunter, lie was - prepared to sacrifice his preference for Mr. Pierce if de manded by the true interests of the democratic party, ana that he had no opinions which he was not prepared to give to the Convention, if asked for. MORE SUPPORT TO MR. Flt.LMOltE. The American State Council of Massachu setts at Boston yesterday, after nominating aR officers men known to be friends of Mr. Fill more, laid on the table by a largo majority res olutions repudiating his nomination for the Presidency, and in favor of a representation at the seceding convention in New York on the 12th of June.—JV. F. Commercial. The following dispatch tells the rest of the story: Boston, May 7. -The seceders from the Am erican State council of Massachusetts, to the number of ubout fifty, conveued at the Adams House last evening, and chose delegates to at tend the Natloual Convention at New York on tho 12th of June. Resolutions were passed re pudiating the nomination of Fillmore and Don- elson. MB. HUNTER. The Essex Congressional District of Virglniu, in appointing delegates to the Cincinnati Con vention, passsed the following resolution com plimentary to Mr. Hunter: ’ , 1st. Resolved, That in view of tho vital is sues involved in the upproachiug Presidential contest, it is important to select us our standard benrer, a statesman of Incorruptible integrity, ripe experience, eminent conservatism, unu one fully identified with all the great measures that make up the Democratic Platform. That without detracting from the merits of others, we may truly any that our own fellow- citizen, the Hon. R. M, 1, Hunter, of Virginia, combines those essontial requisites in a pre-emi- ncut degree. To him is the country, us much, if not more, indebted thau to any other livlug statesman, for the succors of the principles of Free Trade. For the sanitary inlluencoH of the Sub-Treasury. For tho organization and estab lishment of tho warehousing system. For the creation of a tribunal for the adjudi cation of privato claims uguinst the United States. For tho inauguration of a system in ap pointments to, and removal from civil office, which, if faithfully carried out, cannot lull to impart to the official corps a much higher de gree of efficiency than bus heretofore been at tained. For his successful efforts in restraining the appropriation to wild und reckless schemes of Internal Improvement by the Federal Gov- eminent, aud lust, but by no means the least, tor his earnest, consistent, and efficient main tenance of the rights and sovereignty of the States, as tho only meaus of preserving tho In tegrity and securing tho perpetuity of the Fed eral Union. We therefore earnestly commeud Inin to tho favorable consideration of the Cin cinnati Convention as peculiarly fitted to con duct our country safely through the difficulties both Foreign and Domestic, by which it is at this time so fearfully beset. The delegates appointed were Messrs. M. R. H. Garnett nud Eustace Conway. M anufactuuk'TiF*3otton.—It is estimated that 701,406,704 pounds of yarn were spun from cotton in England during the year ending Janu ary, 1865, of which 440,108,131 were exported, and the balance retained for home consumption. Tiie quantity of yarn produced iu the United States is stated at 230,730,000 pounds. The uv- erago weight or cotton prints is six yards to the pound; the weight of foreign prints Is about the same; therefore, the raw cotton necessary to produce a yard of calico or domestic costs ll und 2 cents. There ore twenty-eight print works in this country .producing over 3000 pieces per week. A lew weeks since, iu the Nicholas* Circuit Court, Kentucky, Mr. Garret Davis was bullying a witness named Roljcrts, and derisively culled him captain, when the following dialogue took place: Witness—I am no military man, Mr. Davis, but when you aro elected President, 1 hope you will give me a commission. (laughter.) Mr. Davis (furiously)—If 1 were President, the first thing I would do woidd he to have you hung, sir 1 Witness (with a quiet bow)—Thank you, Mr. Davis; hut If I live until you become a Presi dent to have me hung, life will become a bur deu.'* The Assassination of tlic Kntisas Sheriff. The Chicago Times, the organ of Senator Douglas, has the following startling comments upon the late assassination of Sheriff' Jones, of Kansas: The assassin chose his horn* when thick dark ness hid him from every eye: and even when thus shrouded he appeals to have lacked the moral courage to look his victim in the face; for he shot him iu the buck. Here we have the practical results of that military evangel preach ed by rifle Beecher and his confrere Dutton. Hero wo find a poor misguided unfortunate—we say unfortunate, for his lot Is worse than that of his victim—who lacking the courage to be bold ly had, seeks to do the Emigrant Aid Society some service, and of aiding tho cause in the* prosecution of which ho undoubtedly went forth \vlth a Bible iu one hand and a rille in the oth er, by committing a secret assassination of a mim upon whose lace, even while aiming at his file, ho dare not look, Tho caitiff’must huvo strengthened his hand and steadied his aim, while his pistol was wavering over the spine of his victim, by recalling to iniud Parson Dutton’s sermon. His nerves must have required such a sedative; nnd when ho sped tho bullet on its fa tal errand wo can Iwlleve that ho repeated Dut ton's Scripture quotation—“tho sword of tho Lord and of Gideon.” If tho doctrino of re sistance to tho legal powers of tho land Imj not only taught lu high places with impunity, but openly applauded by men holding high posi tions .socially nnd Intellectually, is it any way strango that tho ignorant, deluded by the so phistry and acts of their iKjttera, should secret ly put in practice what tho others had openly proclaimed and taught V We think not, for it is perfectly consonant with ull tho lessons taught u« by history. And thh murder :■ tho fill blown development of tho Garrison nud Phillips’ idea that resistance to tho execution of tho laws of tho Unite4 States is not a crime, But a virtue. ‘ ) speak amid : ■ ' Amjfiiiiiii Hiny. 'JCy tKXuimd TIME*. The animal meeting ol' tUo’American Tract Society held'iii New York last Wednesday, call ed forth no very brotherly manifestations on the part of some persoris present. The abolitionists have been labouring hard, for some time, to make the society au instrument lor tho dissoml- nation of their fanaticism. Not succeeding they became enraged 4»ud It Is said,threatened to turn out the old officers, Probably finding It imiws- slbte to curry out this purpose, ono of their mem bers disclaimed it with consldemble.indlguatiou. We coudeuso from the Frening Post a re port of the . proceedings of the first day. Rev. l)r. Knox, from the‘ Executivo Commit tee, read n report., in which he stated tlmt* the condition of the affUirs of tho Society, were nev er ill so nourishing a condition us now. The recoipts during tho year have Been huger than during any previous year. Dr. Bacon, of New Haven, moved that the regular business lie suspended. Ho said that incendiary document* und assertions hud been made, tliut there is to be au attcinpt'to revolu tionize this Society. 1 deny it, and will uot submit to any such imputations. (Isnid and prolonged hisses nud cheers, which tho chair man finally succeeded in checkiug, by, saying that he did not wisti God’s lmly home turned in to a theatrical exhibition.) He wild a reverend gentleman at Ids right, declared these incen diary sentiineuts from the pulpit, Inst Lord’s day. Dr. King said he never, upon any occasion, had used any such expression us the gentle- mau, whom he hail uever seen before, had just Imputed to him, lu the gross and improper at tack he has just made upon his private charac ter. (Cheers and hisses.) lie was able to de fend himself; but he would uot enter upon a warfare with tiie weapons of which Dr. Bacon had set him the Improper example. A resolution was adopted to investigate the operations* of the Executive Committee. A great deal of debate, contusion und excitement followed. Several persons attempted to speak at the same time. Cries of “order” aud hisses were heard from ull parts of the house. Kffbrts were made to lay the resolution on the table; and after beiug laid on the table, it was imme diately taken up again, and disorder, noise and confusion followed. The voices of raauy of the speakers could not be heard. An eflbrfc was made to pass the resolution, when Dr. Leouard Bacon said: The question must be taken by ayes aud nays, or the Society disorganize itself, and become a mass mob. Rev. Dr. Hewitt—There is no foundation for the remarks of Dr. Bacon. (Great Confusion.) Dr. Cox—I have full faith in the operations of this Society, but I am iu favor of an Investi gation. Dr. Knox followed in favor of a committee of Investigation, though he had full faith in the operations of the executive committee. There Is no man on the floor, said lie, a great er advocate of the Triict Society than 1 am. On voting fora committee of investigation. Ido not by any means express or believe anything against it. Reverend Joseph Thompson said: I move the following resolution; Resolved, That without expressing any opin ion as to the course of the Executive Committee in the past, or implying any want of confidence in those committeemen, ns the managers of the society, that fifteen persona be appointed to ex amine into their operations and report it the next annual meeting of the society. Several persons rose at once to great noise and confusion. Dr.Bethune at length got the attention of the Houro nud said: A great deal has been said about Cteznr’s wife and suspicion. Well, sir. as regards this soolety, of what has Ciezar’s wife been charged ? Nothing. Why, then, press an Investigation of the executive committee when there Is no charge against it? I think It would be preposterous.. 1 have no fear of the result of an examination, but I do not Irish to express the shadow of a doubt up on the directors of this society. I am not go ing to be so false as to vote for an examination of an uuimiieaclied committee. (limes «ud chews.) Dr. Hewitt—Every voice on this occasion has acquitted the committee. Dr. Bethune said—Mr. President, I vote for this investigation if any member will lay .a charge on the tablo aga.nst this committee. The excitement, confusion and speaking was continued for some time, when Dr. Adam’s reso lution appointing ii committee of investigation who should report at the next animal meeting, was called up and passed. The meeting then adjourned to tho Taberna cle, the directors remaining to elect officers for tho ensuing year. Tho followiug were chosen, with threo dissenting votes: EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

The late Court-Martial at Charlestown. —The marine general court-martial, recently held at Charlestown, for the trial of Capt. Jabez C. Rich, of the U. 8. marines, an account of which was reported for this paper, have found the gallaut captain guilty of the charges S ieferred against him,nnd sentenced him “tobe ismissed from the U. S. marine corps.” We are gratified, however, to state that the Presi dent, despite the extraordinary finding of the court, has mitigated Its sentence to suspension for two months. It is the general opinion of the officers on this station, and of all the resi dents conversant with the circumstances con nected with the vexatious charges preferred against Captain Rich, that the finding and sen tence oi the court are in entire antagonism with the merits of the case Boston Post, Things at Nashville, Tex.w—Jus.

It is a very able document, It shows great prosperity in the church during the last four years. The publicat ions of the church have greatly increased—the mis sionary and other beuevolent collections are much enlurgeii.
