lieu* C»«*' S|h-mH unit Gen. Taylor’s Message. \Ve have never been more forcibly reminded of the old truth, that time “ at last sets all things even,” than we have been in contrasting these two productions, and the promises, and warnings which were their forerunners. During the late Presidential canvass the friends of our Chief Magistrate urged vehemently that not only was the inevitable inference of General Tati.or's j Southern residence and interests in our favor, and recommended him to onr choice, hut that tiiis same inference in regard to Gen. Cass’ loca tion was adverse to the South. Then all sorts of letters, and all sorts of constructions upon them, pro and con, were stunning our ears bv one eternal din. Gen. Taylor was Southern to the core, and Gen. Cass as unsound as rot ten could be. 11 is opinions as to the right and expediency of the Territories electing their ov\ n municipal policy, enforced by distorted extracts from his Quintuple letter, were paraded all over the land, and with such plausibility as to delude the minds of thousands. The man who tri umphed in the army—and lie who suffered the wrong, were both to he passed upon hy the same inexorable judge, and “time has at last set all things even.” What friend now of Gen. Tai - lor, but must feel that we have been heartlessly sacrificed, and hy a Southern President—while the Northern man, who from interest, sympathy and even instinct, was to have been our relent less enemy—has, after sacrificing himself at home, from his just and conservative spirit to. wards North and South, now stood up in the Senate of the Nation and placed our cause upon an impregnable basis, and in the same instant that our Southern President was concerting a message better calculated than any paper that ever issued from its department, to inspirit our enemies, and depress and break down the spirit of his best friends. Well may the South ex claim, “ This is the unkindcst out of a!!.” I: will be a lesson we hope fruitful of good to us all, for coming time. It will teach us that men in the infinite scope of national vision and na tional well being, are as nothing. That the proudest name—the most darling child of for tune and fame among us, should not have it in his power to betray us, much less to have it in his hands to deal a fatal blow upon us. While it will teach us also, that but otto plan in future elections will do for us, and that plan is, to com pel every candidate for our suffrages to tell his own tale—to define his own position.—Thutliis life must first make out his patent of merit, and his own words must be his hostages for future good conduct. It will teach us that no set of men in their profligate cabals are. to exercise a vicarious conscience for any man seeking our favor, and the responsibilities which that favor must impose. The hare idea, one would sup. pose, of that contutnaeeous silence which some candidates have maintained, would prove abhor rent to the high spirit of this people, and the surest precursor of deft tit. But so far from this being the fact, it really seems that this expedient of keeping a still tongue, is the only one that can really restore the desperate fortunes of an aspirant. Suppose for example, that the facts now, for the first lime, fully disclosed bv the California message, had been fully and fairly avowed to this people pending the election of its author, what would have been his fate? No man can doubt it. It would have been com plete and ignominious defeat. Without endors ing fully every position assumed in this speech, it yet, is a bow shot in advance of the surrender message of “a Southern President and a slave holder.” We expect from Ibis day to see a tre mendous re-action in favor of such a course as (ii n. C vas lias so nobly pursued, and a much mure improbable event occurs, tiny one week in the yea-, than that thousands and thousands of men who voted and electionered against the Senator from Michigan, will with enthusiasm support him against the present incumbent.— Nothing but Omnipotence could prevent the election of Gen. Cass over Gen. Taylor, if these gentlemen should both maintain their present positions in regard to the slavery ques tion. And a lucky thing it would he for the peace and uuion of these Stales, if the country could get such a proof of a just appreciation, on the part of our people, of the Northern man "■ho throws himself into the breach to save us. IV hen Gen.

Milledgeville, Feb. 1. Mr. Harrison —Both Houses of the General Assembly have during the last week, been en gaged in the public business from 9 o’clock, A. M to 9 o clock at night. Much progress has been made since my last and some measures of general importance passed and some of great weight sacrificed to the genius of haste and economy. Strange to say, the Tax Bill reported by the Finance Committee, was lost on a vote taken on a substitute for that bill, proposing the old bill of abominations, with some slight modi fications. The vote, however, has been recon sidered and it is to be hoped, for the interests and honor of Georgia, that we w ill have affirmed by the Legislature, the great principle of ad valorem taxation. To give an instance of the injustice of the present plan, permit me to state, for the benefit of y our readers, the fart, that it was stated by a member in the hearing of your correspondent, that one of the citizens of his county owned eleven thousand head of stock cattle. Say these cattle are worth the extreme low price of $3 per head, and we have a man worth in stock more than $30,000. And what are his taxes on all this wealth ? Why not one sous. This fact was announced just on the heel of an amendment offered to the Tax Bill of the Committee, proposing to exempt cattle from its provisions. Alas for this people, the miserable maxim of all sharpers in political economy, is 100 prevalent, that one portion of the communi ty is hut a quarry to be pounced upon by the other half, and that it is unnatural to expect the interests of every part of the community to con sist with each other. The Eastern Branch Railroad from Macon to Charleston, was lost yesterday, and on motion to reconsider the vote was yeas 33, nay s 66. This isa great measure and the House did not seem to be prepared to place so much power as this Charter was Itkely to invest citizens of another State with. There was unprecedented excite ment while the discussion raged. The South- Western Rail Jload appropiation bill is up this morning, and will, no doubt, be lost by a most decisive vote. The Cherokee members are strangely oblivious (many of them,) of Ibe great liberality of the State to their portions of the State. This measure is of incalculable importance to the State, and the whole country. No project in the history of internal improvements, at least in this State,can compare in the vast and far-reaching interests involved in this South-Western Road. But money, money, and the fear of popular testric tion brought down on the beads of representa tives ol the country, by their own connivance, is the great bar, that closes the public treasury, and is to retard and cut till’ the splendid career in State advancetnci|4 we have begun. The hill of Mr. MeDoco alii, making it penal to hut on elections, was lost last night—and on a motion to reconsider, was lost this morning.— It is strange that so moral and expedient a measure should not have passed any Legisla ture in this Union. The Senate to-day are preparing their heavy artillery to do buttle for the South. The Joint Report is to be acted on this morning, and it is thought there will lie some angry discussion. I am sorry to be obliged to say that the fate ofthe Report, Resolutions and Bill, is doubtful in the Senate. Three leading Democrats, it is said, will take ground against the Report, unless the Missouri Compromise shall he ingrafted. This wasaftor a full discussion, rejected hy the House and will not he concurred in hy that bodv, should it pass the Senate. At this moment the House is calling the yeas and nays on an appeal from the decision of the chair, (Mi AY onr.it l, chairman,) sprining out of a hill introduced from the Senate, changing the tune of Congressional elections, 't his bill clear ly conflicts with the law of Congress now in operation on this subject, and will not pass, we think. There is an ardent wish on the part of the members to adjourn at an early day, and could the people see the labor of the House running through twelve hours per diem, they would not listen with complaecti'y to the op position attempted hy a few, to the extent of the session. The adjourntnient w ill no doubt take place about the fifteenth. Clrv Council. —The following gentlemen were elected hy the City Council, last evening • City Jlsscssors —E. E. Brown, 1).

(1 i’Wo received a few days ago, the following from the Chief Engineer of the State Road:— Atlanta, Jan. 28, 1850. Mr. Harrison —Enclosed I send you a copy of a letter which I have just received from lion. John I’. King, President of the Georgia Railroad & Banking Company, w hich 1 ask to he insert ed in your paper as an act of justice due me. Yours Respectfully, WM. L. MITCHELL. (copy) Augusta, January 26, 1850. Du An Mitchell— As I have stated toothers, so at your request, I can say to you, that I had neither part or lot iu arranging \our day sched ule on the State Road. You never consulted me about it until you had resolved on it,and 1 believe applied for it. You then only consulted me to know if we could not give you more time than tin’ schedule allowed you, by running ahead of the si hedule. I considered a clay schedule very desirable for you, and for the Rome road ; hut as the old one w as much the easiest fur our Road, and was more agreeable to the Macon & Western, I refused to interfere with the Department for a change, though requested by others to do so. Yours, very truly, JOHN P. KING. Wm. L. Mitchell, Esq., Atlanta, Ga. The Mysterious City. —The leaders ofSte phen’s Travels is Central America will recol lect li is report of a native city hi the mountains, which has had no communication with the rest of the country for ages. The Government of Chiapas lies sent out an expedition to the Pimi cnta,n part ofthe mountain chain of the Cordil 4cras, with a view to set at teat the question Tee Cultivation of Sugakin South-we*- tekx Gr.oßotA. —The Albany Patriot of the 25th instant, says: “Judging from present appear ances, this section will, within a few years, produce a considerable amount of sugar for ex portation. A.E. Lawton, Esq. an intelligent planter, has just returned from Louisiana, where he has been, to observe the various processes of culti vating and manufacturing sugar, and to examine the character and quality of the land for agricultural purposes. In a recent conversation with Mr. Lawton, lie gave us the following in formation.- He visited many of the sugar and cotton plan, tations on the Mississippi and Red Rivers, and he describes the land as unsurpassed in natural fertility, but subject to so many easualities as to mere than balance this advantage. After a thorough investigation of the advantages and disadvantages, he decidedly prefers the choice pine land which he is now cultivating near this place, for the production of either cotton or sugar, to the far famed lands of Louisiana. The advantages of the planter here, are, that the country is much more healthy, crops are more certain, land is cheaper, and on an aver age of five or ten y ears, they will y ield more than the Louisiana lauds. Besides the cotton crop, Mr. Lawton culti vated about 16 acres in sugar the past year. He procured an iron mill,similar in construction to the steam mills used for grinding cane, with which, operated by three mules, lie can make a barrel of sugar per hour. The cost of the mill put up was only two hundred dollars. The yield, from that part of the crop which lie macu lae lured, was 50 per acre. This vear Mr Lawton is planting over sixty acres of cane. Mr. Lawton says he prefers making sugar here at five cents per lb., to making coitng at ten cents, and he considers this the best cotton country in the world. The Depot at Chattanooga —The Ring gold Republican of the 26th iust. says “This depot is crowded with freight, which is accumu lating rapidly every day. It is filled with every variety of produce, and the spacious platform is covered with cotton. Owing to the unpreceden ted bad weather and the condition of the new track, the cars have been taking oil'the freight slowly from this point ; but in a few day s every tiling will he moving with a perfect whiz !” The Varioloid in Cincinnati —The Cin ciunai Nonparicl of the 17th say s: “It is cstiuiatd thul six thousand persons or neaaly one-fifteenth of our population, have hud the small pox or varioloid during the last four months. It is spreading to a considerable extent in Convinglon and Newport. Like the cholera, it bears a milder form now than it did in 1832-3, when it 'ollowed in the wake of that hreadful scourge. (O’ Kossuth is believed to have embarked for the United States, under tlie arrangement for the exit of refugees from Turkey. Sugar Crop. —We learn from the Now Or leans Picayune, that the sugar crop of Louisiana for the year 1819 will turn out better, perhaps, than was expected some time ago, and may not he much behind that of 1848. But there does not seem to be much uniformity intlie crop, it being much better in some districts than in others. O’A cotcinporary remarks, that a comparison ofthe census of 1830 with tliuluf 1840,discloses the remarkable facts, that in the past ten years, the while population in Eastern Virginia has decreased 19 in every 1000, the slaves have d(G creased 50 in ever} 10. t(), and the free negroes have increased in the same period 70 in every ]OOO I In Western Virginia, the whites have increased 167 in a thousand, and the slaves only 5 :n a thousand, and the free negroes have in creased 191 in a thousand. O’ The Springfield Republican states that the U. S. Armory at that place, turns out fifteen hundred muskets per month,- besides rapidly changing the flint lock muskets iu the arsenals to percussion locks, and making a few carbines. The number of men employed there by Gov ernment is larger than any previous period in t lie history of the establishment. The North West Passage.— A letter in the Courier and Enquirer dated at Mazaltan on the 23d of November, in noticing the arrival there of the British frigate Ampliitrite, says :— “They have discovered a N. W. passage in lat. 73 and about 30.}, and gone one degree and a halffur ther North than any vessel lias previously been. They have discovered anew continent—but on account of ice could not approach nearer than fifteen miles to land. Did not find Sir John Franklin, and on account of ice were forced to leave. 1 111 - Nicaragua (Question. —The Secretary of Navy lias ordered a portion of the Home Spuudron to c\tend its ontise along the coast of South America, for the purpose of exercising a proper supervision of the national interests in that quarter, and extending that confidence to American citizens which is derived from the occasional presence of our naval power, where there is no immediate protection of their persons or properly, except, that afforded by the general policy of civilized nations Sugar Cui.tuisk w Flohioa. —Prior to the late Indian war, there were soimie twenty large sugar plantations in operation along the Atlant ic coast south of St. Augustine. These were en tirely destroyed by the Indians. They can now he purchased a*, almost the prices of the wild lands—from three to ten dollars per acre. Col. Marshal, the present season, hus a crop of two hundred bogheads of sugar, worked with but 25 hands, upon one of those old groundup plantations (l)tinlawtou) upon which hu has been but three years. At present prices, his crop is worth ten thousand dollars, and he has been engaged the past season in erecting his machinery for its manufacture. These Sugar lands arc ali situated upon or very near to nava gable streams, in close proximity to the Ocean, and presuming every facility for transport ing. Tile Cotton Crop. A correspondent of the Philadelphia Inquirer makes the subjoined remarks and estimates in relation to this subject, which we commend to the attention of our readers. Nothing excites so much attention at present in the mercantile world, as the cotton crop of America. It seems now to be generally conceded at the South, that the yield will not exceed 2,250,000 bales, and many say this is too high by at least 150,000. It's very evident, therefore, that high prices must rule for a long time to come ; for admitting that the crop of 1850-51 should exceed all oth ers, and reach 2,800,000 hales, the great reduc tion of consumption which must take place this year will evidently so enhance goods, and open such a demand for them, that manufacturers will work full time and pay high prices. In making the following estimate, we think we arc in reasonable figures, and have drawn reasonable conclusions. If we are correct, the the increased value of this crop, and the coming one,over the two last, will be enormous, am ounting to many millions of dollars, and must I have a great effect upon trade. The last crop ■ averaged S3O per halo, equal to cighty-two and | a half millions of dollars. The present will average, at a low estimate, SSO per hale, worth one hundred twelve and a half millions. The next we will give no estimates upon. But, to our figures : Bales. Estimated crop ofcotton for 1849-50, 2,250,000 To be distributed as follows : America, 500,000 Europe, Continental, 750,004) Great Britain, 1,000,0002,250,000 , Estimated stock of cotton in Great Britain, Dec, 31, 1849, 400,000 I “ Receipt from America, ” 1,000,009 j “ “ Other countries, 250,000 j 1,650,000 Reduce consumption one-third, say to 23,000 bales per week, 1,200,000 And we will have stock, Ist Jan., 1851, 450,000 Nearly the same as now ; hut the reduced con sumption must long ere that hove had a serious effect upon the prices of many goods, and if they have risen, the consumption will increase, and the stock full very much below the above figures. It will be seen that the amount ofcotton allowed to Great Britian presumes that the European Continent and America will take their usual quantity— France and hercontincntial neighbors spin almost entirely from fine numbers, and hence the raw material does not tell so strongly upon them, and prices of goods have risen in full pioportion to the rise in cotton. America alway s has taken her quantity, and ns her spin dles have increased, she will probably continue to get as last year, 500,000 bales. If it he true, and it is generally admitted, that the slock in hand throughout the world is 200,000 hales less on the first of January, 1850, than the first of January, 1849, and that the present crop in America will only he 2,250,000 bales, or 500,- 000 short of last year, it follows that 700,000 bales less cotton must be spun this year than last, unless the stocks at the end of the year be reduced to a very low point. The recent move ments in cotton at the South show pretty con clusively that they arc well satisfied now that the yield this year will not exceed two and a quarter millions of bales, and if such is the case, “ fair” cotton will probably reach 15 cents, per pound.—Exchange will rule at morderate prices, and money also, and trade be in all probability active and profitiable throughout the year. England cannot receive her fair proportion of the crop, unless she bids spiritedly for it, and the recent advices show that she will. Her control as heretofore, is passed for the present, and a threat of contraction is useless, inasmuch as such contraction is now inevitable. Slavery in Maryland. —A hill introduced into the Mary land House of Delegates, provid ing for the abrogation of all laws prohibiting the introduction ofslaves into the State. By the ex isting laws, slaves cannot be brought into Mary land, without special enactment. A slaveholder moving from another State, cannot bring his slaves with him, unless with the consent of the Legislature. Lady Miners in California. —A youngman from Maine, writing to his friends from Califor nia, say s liis parly found, near the Sacramento, and almost thirty miles from any other digging, two intelligent and beautiful young ladies, with no attendant except an old grey-headed negro, whom they had enticed to accompany them, and who is the servant of the father of one of them. The eldest of these girls is not twenty. It sectns their imagination had become excited by the gold stories which they had heard, and they had determined to try their hands at mak ing a fortune. The old negro was past work, and was left in the camp during the day to look after the household affairs, and keep watch, while the girls pursued their morning opera tions. When the party reached their camp, the old darky was alone in it, but the girls came in during the day, and received their visitors hos pitably. They expressed no fear of being mo lested or robbed, and said that they should leave for home when they had accumulated SIO,OOO, they had already gathered $7,000. They were from Florida, and the y oungest ran away from cliool to enter upon the expedition. Counterfeits.— The Columbus Enquirer oj lhe29th ultimo, says: “ A great number of spu rious half dollars, and a considerable sprinkling of quarters,arc afioat in this locality. They can he easily detected, being coined of the sorriest sort of pewter, and clumsily fashioned at that. Dealers in small funds will do well to look out for them, nevertheless.” Improved Hot Air Engine.—W<* learn by the Philadelphia News that Dr. Evan J. I’ursey, of that city, proposes to construct an engine to he propelled by heated air, which com bines many' advantages over engines of this kind that are in uso at present. The project, we have heard, lias occupied the attention of the Dector for a long time. Resolutions ol (lie l*uiiil»cr City Wilis’ Convention. Whereas, it has been ascertained, through the public prints, that those claming to be citi zens of California have met in Convention and adopted n Constitution, with a view of of apply - I mg for adinisssion into the Union as one of the | States of this confederacy ; and, whereas, said ! Const it lit ion prohibits slavery in said contem plated State ; and, whereas, the Territories of California and New Mexico arc the common property of the United Slates, in which the citizens of each State have an equal right and interest in common with carli other; and whereas, members of Congress from the non. slaveholding Slates have exhibited a reckless; disregard of the rights of the South, and have manifested a settled determination to restrict and limit slavery hy ilie passage ol the Wilmot Pro viso, a submission to which would degrade cv- | cry freeman of the South, and which, if ac quiesced in, would destroy the equality of the States and people of the Union. lie it Resolved , That this is no time for the 1 South to dally. That our opposition to the ! Wilmot Proviso should lie hold, firm and uncom promising; and should our Northern brethren force upon us the necessity hy interfering thus with Southern rights, the entire South, disre garding all other political differences, with one mind, one heart,and one voice, with all they have, should be ready to protect, defend, and maintain llieir rights—that where there is no equality, there is no Union —and whilst a disso lution of this Union would he regretted and de plored ns a great national calamity by every patriot, still this Union is only valuable and dear to us for the justice and equality which the Constitution, which binds us together, guar antees to the citizens of each and every State, and iu the event of the consummation of such threatened aggression, it would be the impera tive duty of the Southern people to declare, in solemn Convention, that they disavow and every alliance or union with such Stales as de ny to us and equal participation in the enjoy ment in the Territories of California and New M exico. Resolved farther, That we recognise no right in those who occupy the Territories of Califor nia and New Mexico, to form a Constitution and invest themselves with State sovereignty that inasmuch as Congress has established no rules or regulations respecting such Territory, they are not clothed with such power—tint! in the absence of any law ns to citizenship, defin ing the qualification of voters, or the eligibility ofthose to give form to, and establish a Consti tution, such an act should be regarded ns tin act independent of the Government of the United States, and therefore nugatory and void. Resolved, That should Congress pass any law effecting the lights of the slave holder, eith er in States holding slaves or the District of Columbia, or any of the Territories in tile Uni ted States,the Southern States could not submit thereto, without compromising their rights under the Federal compact, and degrading themselves and that they would perfer a dissolution of the Union, ra.her than the dependencies upon « Government that held them subservient to the unscrupulous demands and requisitions as a heedless majority, influenced by the worst spir it of fanaticism, and wlio utterly disregard the sacred behests of the Constitution they arc sworn to support and observe. Resolved further, That the question ns to whether slavery shall exist iu California and New Mexico, isa proper subject to be settled by the Terrritories after they become' sovereign Stales. Wilbur Fisk, D. D.— The Ladies’ Literary Repository, for January has an interesting sketch of the Life of Wilbur Fisk, describing the diffi culties which lie encountered in his early en deavors to procure an education. “1 once knew a young man, who, without property, or parents, or other friends, to help him, at the age of twenty, walked four miles one stormy night, to borrow a Latin grammar, and the next night after having closed a school lie was teaching, walked five miles to obtain from a young lady, who, more fortunate than lie, had been to ‘ the academy,’ some instruc tion how to study Latin. That homeless youth, who took his fust lesson in Latin, at the age of twenty, from a girl much younger than himself, has occupied for twenty years and more an im portant position in the literary institutions of the country, having educated thousands. Does not that girl, who readily stopped her spinning wheel to teach him Latin, deserve a part of the reward fur the good that has been done by lier pupil in the cause of education?” The Next Presidency. —General Joseph Lane has been nominated, in Indiana, for the Presidency in 1852. Twenty Dollar Gold Pieces.—Two dies which have been struck of this new coin, have been condemned, and it will probably be three or four months before it comes into circulation. Cure of Cancer. — 'l lie extract of wood sorrel, used ns a plastor through the day, and slippery elm bark at night, will cure any cancer that lias ulcerated or that has not live skill over the skin ; should he broken in sonic way.— To burn a piece ofpunk on the place, is a good method, then apply the salve as before directed. The extract is obtained simply hy pounding the common sorrel ill a uiorter, or vessel and pres ing the juice, then put it in a pewter dish or ba sin, and place it in the sun, until it dries to the cosistcnee of hr, when it is fit for use. The above we select from an exchange, and we do not endorse it, but merely at present what is held to he good for this inveterate evil. Ox alic acid would answer as well, as the sorrel, in our opinion. We have seen a receipt recom mending a poultice of cranberries for the same disease, and it may bo that this acid, oxalic, which has been found in both, possesses sonic great virtue to cure the cancer.

Light and Heat from Water. —The dis covery made lately, by Henry W. Paine, Esq f that light and heat may be produced by a simple process, from the decomposition of Water, is , said to hare been ino« successfully tested by Mr. Paine, who is now in Washington city, with | one of bis machines in full operation. It pro duces 200 cubic feet of hydrogen gas and 100 i lecl of oxygen gas per hour, the actual cost of ! which is only one cent; and this quantity, is I said to be sufficient to give light equal to three i hundred common lamps for ten hours, or to warm an ordinary duelling twelve hours, or to supply beat sufficient for a one horse power steam engine. No smoke and no more steam than is desirable is produced. If all that is said of it is true, it will create a revolution in manu factures, and seriously affect the coal interest. For all purposes of light and heat and ordinary manufactures, nothing in the shape of fuel- will he required except a small supply of w ater. ffj’TliuN. V.
