SOUTHERN TRIBUNE. EDITED AID PD 81.1911 El) WEEKLY, BY WH. B . II Alt K I * o \ . Correspondence Southern Tribune. MILLEDGEVU.CE, Feb. 14, 1850. The Legislature will probably adjourn on Saturday next, although much business will be left undone. The Senate took up the resolutions of the House of Representatives upon the subject of slavery, and after some discus sion, and the offering of several amend ments (all of which were rejected,) the bill passed. Yeas 31—Nays 8. The bill to authorize the Railroads to form a junction and pass around the city of Macon, should the citizens refuse to let them pass through, wa* passed by a largo majority. The following bills have passed since i mv last : The bill to alter and amend an act en titled an act to alter and amend tbe several acts incorporating tbe city of Ma con, approved Dec. 27th, 1847. and to abolish tho office and duty of assessor.

I find it is.the general impression, that Mr. Hilliard, of Alabama, will be nomina ted as Minister to Prussia, in tbe place of Mr. Hannegat), recalled. Gov. Nell S. Bro wn, lias been unquestionably selected as Minister to Russia ; but the President will not send in any more nominations, until the Senate has disposed of those now before them. The Senate lias not yet de termined upon their course in regard to nominations. If an opportunity had oc cured to enable them to go into Executive Session, this week, they would have dis posed of Col. J. W. Webb’s case, in ad vance of all others. The statement in the papers that a treaty has been made here, between the British Minister and this Government, in regard to Nicaragua, is premature, but the mat ter is in such a train of settlement that it will undoubtedly end in a speedy treaty. Sir Henry Bulwer has, it is believed, strongly expressed the disposition of his government to consult the wishes of the United Slates, in relation to the Oceanic (’anal, or to Tigre Island. I learn, to day, that Great Britan will ceartaiuly agree to its cession to the United States. So many objections are ugred to the Clay compromise, on the part of the South, that it is not likely that it can be effected. It is now urged that the limits of Texas, as proposed by Mr. Clay, would give to the non-slaveholding region, bo h of the great passes into the interior from the Rio Grande. The California Senators are announced as having arrived at New Orleans. Os course, the application for tiio admission of California will be urged and become the sole and exciting topic of discussion in Congress. The two Senators, Col. Fre mont and Dr. Gvvin, are southern men, with southern sympathies, and will add to the weight of the South in the Senate.— They are both free trade men. The Wilmot proviso party, though bea ten in the House, have not abandoned the field, and will make efforts in the House and in the country. It is rumored that they intend to call a general Convention, to meet in Buffalo in June next, foi the purpose of adopting measures to count' r* act the influence of the proceed'. 12 of Naslu ille Convention, on the northern States and people. [ Correspondence of the Hatannah Republican] View from Lookout Mountain. Nashville, (Term.,) J in. 27, 1650. You are aware. Gentlemen, that the Georgialine, which bounds on Tennessee, passes over this magnificent mountain, so that at one step you are in Georgia, anti another in Tennessee, so that l cannot say she is separated or divided from Tennes see, and hope a continued Railroad will unite, not only her, but the whole West; for as you cast your eyes around from its lofty summit, you behold poitions ofthe following six great S'ates ; Georgia, Ten nessee, Alabama, Kentucky, V irginia an 1 N. Carolina. Look along the chores of the Tennessee, said now to be 30 or 40 feet above its low state, you see flatboats. 50 feet long, and 12 to 15 feet wide, with snug cabins on them, loaded with flour, corn, bacon, cotton, castings, pig iron and even potatoes and cabbages, fowls, turkies, and geese, from some ofthe above named States, waiting for a passage way ; a con necting Railroad across the Tunnel llill. I asked a gentleman why he was carrying his cotton to Charleston, rather than Sa vannah, hich, was m >re convenient to him, and where I thought he could get as much as iu Charleston. lie said they had an Alabama and Tennessee house in Charleston, as none in Savannah thought it j worth their while to come among us, to form such a connection ; I offered them a letter to two factors, who I assured them would give them entire satisfaction. At Chattanooga, even a Baltimore house has established an immense factory for the curing f bacon, to be shipped to London and Liverpool, and as tbe preparation is peculiar, it is said, to this establishment, 1 will give you a brief sketch of it. They give §2 50 per 100 lbs. for the hogs, gross, from 2 to 400 are killed every cold day ; beingdriven into a pen covered with broom grass, to avoid the mud. they are knocked down with a long handled hammer by one man,while two put them on a table, where they are bled and then placed in a row on the broom-straw, and covered over with other straw and set fire to when the hair is singed off and cleaned, the feet and offals taken out, the feet and head cut off, and the whole sides, hams, and shoulders, in one entire piece, is salted, piled up in packs as high as the roof ofthe house, to be put in boxes and shipped. Tbe lard is prepared in the factory and may be bought for sc, per lb. At Atlanta they were building a slone depot on the plan of tbe London depot, 340 feet long, a parallelogram with a spaci ous circle at the end, ofgranite quarried at the Little Stone Mountain, 16 miles dis tant, in Delvalb county, which Mr. Alex ander, a most skilful superintendant, con siders superior to the (Quincy graite ; lie had worked 3000 miles from where it was quarried. The very rocks of Alabama and Tennessee will be valuable. We found many ofthe houses at Guntersville and Whitesburgh under water, while Huntsville is a most beautiful and elevated city, ami its public buildings are an honor to its wealthy citizens. But here is a city of rocks and mountains, deep valleys and flowing streams, one ofthe most romantic and splendid l have ever seen. As we ascended Capitol Hill, where, they are building a magnificent stone State House, estimated at a cost of §BOO,OOO or §1,000,- 000, wo saw the roofs of houses just above the water, as tbe great Cumberland has overflowed a portion of Nashville. 1 was gratifieil to hear to day, from a member of the Legislature, now in session, that the bill appropriating $1,800,000 would pass ; as the objection to the 84,000,000 bill was its enormous amount; but told him, as 1 jourttyed along the toad 1 heard one of her distinguished men say, that in passing the some road, he had been invited to stop at a cottagers house to dinner, and as they sat down to a small piece of bacon, with a plenty of other things, the kind hearted la dy (as the Tennessee ladies arc generally) said, do Bir, help yourself to a hit of bacon, and do not he afraid, although it’3 small. Oh Madam, said her distinguished guest, I would not he afraid of it, if it was twice as large. So, said I, you must not be a fraid of it, if it were twice as large an appro pi iation, when you think ofthe millions it will scatter broad-cast over your produc tive country, for even now you have 100,- 000, bales of cotton to go to market from Davidson, Rutherford, and Bradford, and along the road I have come, that at 15 cents per lb. in Savanah, would bring you from 4 so $6,000,000, for an appropriation of less than 82,000,000 ! The fertile imagination of man cannot conceive so romantic and beautiful a view as from Capitol Hill. Mobile and Girard Rail Road.— Maj. 1L S. Hardaway, accompanied by Mr. 11. Blackmon, is now passing over the contemplated route of this great work, in view to enlist tiie citizens along the line in the enterprize. On the ninth inst., he writes from Greenville, Butler county, that they have succeeded in getting the stock taken for the grading and superstructure, through Russell and Macon counties, en tire, and nearly through the counties of Pike and Montgomery; responsible and re spectable citizens assuring them that they will cat ty it through the latter counties.— Through the county of Lownds all hut 5 or six miles are taken, and 16 miles in But ler had been taken, although the party had been there, less than 24 hours. He adds, if the people of Baldwin county take it up with the same spirit, as he has assurances, they are prepared to do, he confidently be lieves they will he able to put an Er girteer on the road immediately on their return tV-cn Mobile. The people along tlso line, according to Mi. H., take Isold nunc read' ly than he has ever known in regard to • t v similar enterprise—because the, at- ,it out from market otherwise.— Cd'usl' M A CON, G A , SATURDAY MORNING, FEB. 16, 1850. Qj* We publish in another column, as a tribute to the memory of our deceased friend, \V m. 11. Anderson, Esq., the proceedings in relation thereto, of the Supreme Court and the Sous of Temperance. Rossiter's Great I'ain TiNGS.-4-Tliese fine! Paintings will be exhibited at the new hall in the Floyd House buildings, for several days next week, commencing on Monday. We have seen letters from several clergymen oftliis State, who testify toils being an Exhibition of great merit and one that has great claims on the moral and religious portion ofthe community, as such pro* ductions are calculated to purify the mind, refine the taste, gratify the eye and move the heart. Supreme Court. —This Court commenced its session in this city on Monday last—present j Judges Lumpkin, Nisbet and Warner. We ! learn there were some twenty-five cases to be I decided,which will probably prolong the session ; all next week. In the case ofthe slave belong. itig to Mr. Root. Fref.man, convicted of murder . in Houston last year, the Supreme Court have decided that the ciltorari sued out and refused by Judge Floyd, ought to have been allowed— also thntthe Inferior Court erred in allowingthe Prosecution to introduce the evidence of the preliminary proceedings before the Magistrates, after the evidence had closed and the case was submitted to tbe jury—also, tint the preliminary proceedings before the Magistrates, is a necessa ry part of tho o vidence in the case, and thal there could not he a conviction without it. Tho de cision will give the prisoner anew trial. Several other decisions have beeu made, but owingtoan arrangement having Icpn entered into between tbe Journal &. Meisenger and Clerk, which gives that paper the preference, we could not copy them from the record. Afpeal.— Brinkley Bishop, who was sen tenced by his Honor Judge Starke, at the late Term of Bibb Superior Court, to Ire hung on the 29th of March next, lias appealed lo tire Supreme Court, which, in consequence of its session in this city within ten days after tbe adjournment of the Superior Court, will delay the decision in the case until the session at Decatur in Au gust next —which being after the next Superior Court here, whatever the decision may he, will so far as the law is concerned, protect his life until January next, nt least. Geo. Baker was also sentenced to four years’ imprisonment in the Penitentiary, for Larceny from the house. He kud served a term there before, it is said. Negro Emigrants.— We learn that one hun dred and sixty-four negroes, manumitted by the late Major Jacob Wood, were taken from Hawkinsville about a week ago, on hoard the steamboat Robert Collins, Capt. Taylor, bound to Savannah, where a vessel is ready to take them to Liberia. Five thousand dollars were lelt to send them to Hayti, hut for good reasons, Liberia Iras been chosen for them, and they went to work and earned a sum of money sufficient to defray their expenses lo their new home, which tire recent high price of cotton lias enabled them to do, and have a surplus beside. They arc represented as being in comforable circumstances, the result of their own labor, not having received a dollar from their Northern friends, notwithstanding the appeal which we recollect to have seen in some of the Northern papers,some time since, made in their behalf, by some of their professed friends. Election. —The follow ing is the result of the election for member to Congress from tho First District, as far as heard from, viz: For J. YV. Jackson, (D.) 1941 ; W. B. Fleming, (VV.I 1902. Wayne and Ware to hear from which will prob ably increase the majority of Col. Jackson. State Bank. — We learn that the decision of the United States Supreme Court in the case of Shultz vs. The Bank State of Georgia, will not be given for several days to come, and when made will only decide the question whether he has the right to com nenre suit against the Bank; and not the final settlement of the question, as some persons suppose. [CFThe original manuscript copy of General Washington’s Farewell Address was sold at auction in Philadelphia on the 13th inst., to tiie Rev. I)r. Boardman, for $2,300 ! ffjTAmong the passengers in the steamer Em pire City at New- York, are the Hon. Geo. W. Wright and E. Gilbert, Representatives, nnd Dr. Gvvy nn, Senator elect from California ; and Hon. Thos. Butler King, of this State. Col. Fremont has been detained at Panama, by the illness of his wife. The Empire City brought $1,133,648 in gold—The Oregon, at Fanania, Lad about $2,000,000 —and the Cherokee at New York has $1 (10,000 in gold. tLrWe are pleased lo learn that the health of Mr. Cai .iioun has so far improved, that he would 1 he enabled in a few days, to resume his duties in the Senate, where his counsel is so much need ed at the present time. (U'The New York packet ship Ilottinguer, Capt. Bursley, has fallen a prey to the fury of the elements. The Ilottinguer sailed from Liv erpool for New York on the 10th day of Janu ary. She had 290 cabin and steerage passen gers, with the captain and crew of 30 men and boys. She had only passed as far as Black wa ter Bank, which is off tho coast of Wexford, when she struck on one of those dangerous ledges of rock. On the occurrence of this mishap a part of the ere w and all the passengers were sent on shore and saved—-Capt. B. and thirteen of his men remained on board and were lost. ffjp Two men, named Olin and Allen Revel, have beeu .ken up at Ruthcrfurdton, 'N. C.) A number of counterfeit bills wi re four.d in their possess and among them Three Dol lar Bills on tuts Bank of Cape Fear; Fives on the Plantes’ Ac Mechanic’s Bank of Charleston; 1 Twenties on the Bank of Georgetown, , C.) The Half Century Problem. We copy the following article from a late num ber of the New Orleans Crescent: “The news papers continue (o keep up an active discussion of the question, whether we are in the first or second half of the nineteenth century —in other words, whether the Ist of January commenced the last year of the first half-century, or the first year of the second half. Many columns have been writen, and yet tbe question appears to he unsettled in many minds. A great deal of learn ing has been brought forth on both sides, and yet it seems to us to be a very simple matter, when separated from the extraneous matter which lias been mixed up with it. Considered as tiie simple inquiry, bow many years must elapse before a half-century is compu ted, there is no ground for dispute. As the firsi fitly of a hundred dollars is not paid until the last cent of the fiftieth dollar is counted out, so the fiftieth year ofa century is not completed un lil the last day ofthe year is over; and as the second fifty commences with the fiist cent of the fifty-first dollar, so the second half-century commences with the first day of tho fifty-first year. We say the fiftieth year has commenced on the day after the forty-nine years are com pleted—just as a man begins paying his fiftieth dollar after he tins told one hundred cents over forty-nine times, and begun to pay on the last; but in both cases it takes full fifty to make eith er half-hundred. That is a plain statement o a simple problem, and not to be disputed. But to this is opposed an attricate discussion about the date of the birth of Christ, and the manner iti which the era of his birth is com putad. Some write elaberately about the year ofo, and the year of one, ttnd make nice die tlnctions about the day of the month in which the Saviour was born, and the query, whether the Era should, or rather does, from the January preceding, or the January immediately after— and hence a dispute is raised upon the rule to bo observed in commencing the Era. All there are speculations, which have really nothing to do with the single qestion ofthe com mencement and the close of the century. The Christian era is not n date originally fixed, or fixed at a period from which his chronology was traced backward, so as to leave no doubt of the correctness of the computation. It was not used as an Era at all until several centuries had e lapsed ; and after it had been used, partially a t least, for more than a thousand years, it was dis. covered that error certainly had been made in the computation; and chronologists for a long time had argued that the error amounted to four years. A later computation, approved by men of eminent science, makes the error in the common era six years. According to Dr. Jarvis’s tables, in his introduction to History of the Church, 'lie year after the Crucifixion was in the 28th \ ear of the present era, and it should have been the 34th. The year of the vulgar era, 1850, should he 1856, so that in fact, we have already enter ed on the last half of the true nineteenth centu ry, if the calender were rectified exactly.— The various rectifications of the year, fiom that of Julias Cresar which made one year of fifteen months, and 445 days, down to that of Pope Gre gory, one of only 355, have all searched for the era of the birth of Christ by computation back wards—not by receiving a regular succession of constantly authenticated years, lienee‘.lie dis pute how this particular year, as the first or the last half of a century, in n:i exact series from the birth of the Saviour, is idle, because it is neither tho one nor the other; but several yearsnevanc ed in the second half of the real nineteenth century. The other question, that of the mere system of counting under the Christion era as fixed in the sixteenth century, is only a matter of figures whether the half of a hundred is forty-nine or any thing less than fifty—and there is not much ground for a difference of opinion about that. [ff An account is published of the surprising performance of a locomotive on the New York and Buffalo Road, performing the entire distance from Utica to Syracuse (fifty-three miles) in seventy-five minutes, with seven loaded eight wheel freight cars, through a falling wet snow of six inches upon the rail, without scrapers and brushes. Cotton Shipped from Griffin. —The Griffin Whig of the 14th instant, says: There is so lit tle Cotton here for sale, that it is impossible to "ive correct quotations. There was not as much Cotton received hero last week as there was in one day of the corresponding week last year. Cotton shipped from September 1,1849, to January 1,1850, 18,290 Cotton shipped from January 1, 1850, to February 1, 1850, 4,800 Total, 23,090 Amount shipped in same time last 5ea50n,28,789 Decrease this year, 5,699 The Trial of Professor Wf.bster —llhas been arranged, the Boston Traveller says, that the trial of Prfessor Webster, on the charge of the murder of Dr. Parktnan, will take place about th.e middle of March, and lie will not be arraigned until! that time. It also adds that a more particular examination ofthe ashes found underneath the grate of Prof. Webster s room at the Medical College has brought to light ano ther tooth, several human bones, and 11 wedge of gold of the value of about $3. The lengthy statement lately published as to the evidence be fore the coroner’s jury, it also pronounced full of inaccuracies prejudicial to the accused.

Ip The exports of Lo 1 • t- . ih he present season are 7 ,' 30,7 . ;c> - : . -,- 800 feet during same time last year. North and South. —The following facts are taken from Mr. F.lwood Fisher's Lecture. It purports to show by statistics,in a few words, that the South is a more porsperous section of the country than the North; and that all the elements which constitute a great, prosperous and happy people, in the South far excel those of the North. To begin the relative wealth ofthe two sections. In 1840 the average wealth ofa free person in Ma ryland was $531, while in Massachusetts in her palmiest days, it was only 406, making the free man in Maryland, 25 per cent richer. Tbe ave rage property of a free white person in Virginia, is $758, in New York it is only $260 a little more than one-third The average value of property to each free person in Kentucky is $456, and in Ohio, it is only $276. In Ohio there are 50,000 pleasure wagons—Virginia, with only a third as many whites has 19,000. The white people of Virginia are about the same in num ber as Massachusetts, yet in 1840, Virginia built 402 brick houses, nnd the old Bay State 374. Virginia had the same number of hogs in 1840 that Ohio had, yet Ohio exports large quan tities of pork, while Virginia, on the other hand imports large quantities, and the white popula tion of Ohio is twice as large as that of Virgina. The wheat crop in Virginia, in 1840, was 10,100, 716 bushels, while in New York it was 12,286,- 418. The natural increase of the population is 60 percent, that ofthe South is 65 per cent. In 1843, in New York, there was one pauper to ev ery seventeen individuals; in the city in 1847, there was one to every five dependant, more or less upon public charity. In the South papuper ism is almost unknown. In New York there are 2,000 convicts in the Penitentiaries, in Vir ginia 111 whites and 90 blacks, which indicates the amount of crime corresponding with the population. There are many other statistics, showing that with the reputed blight and curse of slavery, that the free white people of the South are richer upon an average than those of the North—have less pauperism, and more morality. Honey.— Honey is, according to Mr. Milton, who has lately published n treatise on Lees in England, a universal specific; and among its other valuable properties he declares that it pre vents consumption, and states that that destroy er of human life is not known in countries where honey is regulariy taken as an article of food. Those who have less faith in the spcci. fie, may perhaps attribute (because to difference of climate rather than to honey. The Italian singers, make a practice to sharpen it with a few drops of acid, though they sometimes take it in a pure slate. Hog Statistics. —The hog slaughtering sea son is now about elosed at Louisville, all the pork-houses having suspended operation but one. The number of hogs killed this season, including Jeffersonville and Now Albany, is 184,000, esti mating the number put up at New Albany at 16,000 bead. This is a small excess over last season’s operations, the number killed last sea son being 178 It is estimated that at Cincinna ti this season there will be a falling off of about 60,000 hogs from the number slaughtered there last season. At every other point that we have heard from there appears to be a gain on the amount of the previous season. Compound interest. —Few persons have a correct idea of the effect which unwisely accu. mulated debt, and quarterly dividends of inter est paid thereon have upon the fortunes of a na tion, a family or individual- A bottle of wine four hundred years old was drank one day at pre sident Tiyler’s table, and a’ealculation made of its cost, on the supposition that the price was halfadollar at first, and that the interest on that half dollar had been collected once every three months, and also laid out at interest, du ring the 400 years, by which mode the principal would double every eleven years. The resuM was that 400 years compound iuterestori 50 cents amounted to some $40,000,000,000 —enough to pay tho public debt of Britian ten times over. Compound Interest. —Tho following simple rule will show tho number of years in which a single sum will become double in amount, by the accumulation of compound internet, for nlj rates of interest not exceeding 10 per cent. Di. vide 70 by the rate of interest per cent., and the quotient is the numberofyears required. Thus 70 divided by 10 will give 7 years; by 5,14 years ; by 4 nearly 18 years ; by 3, 21 years near ly ; by 2, 35 years Villainous Acts.— A correspondent of tbe Cincinnati Central Herald says, that in a certain village in tbe State of Indiana, on tbe Ohio rev er, there is a Society for the purpose of taking and returning to their masters, runaway slaves. It is said, that they have agents in Kentucky to persuade the slaves to run away, and who give them such directions as to theircoursc after lea ving the river, as will certainly lead to their being apprehended. Some of these slaves have, it is belies od, been sold by their captors, and sent to the South. Electro-Magnetic Power. — We have been shown says tho Washington City Globe, a min iature model’ of a very ingenious machine, the invention of Mr. John 11. Lillie, for propelling machinery by electro-magnetic power. From a limited acquaintance with the subject, we are inclined to believe that this will prove a highly useful invention. Wo understand that Mr. L. has filed nn application for a patent. John M. Barrett. — the correspondent of the Columbia Telegraph, writing from Washing ton City, says that in a paper edited by the no torious W. 11. Brisbane, in Cincinnati, be finds two editorials, from wliieli be infers the follow ing facts: “ That Barrett will not return to stand his trial in Spartanburg, and that there will bean effort made to evade the payment of the forfeit of bis non-appearance.” The Kentucky U. S. Senators. —A Mr. Arnold, in the Kentucky House of Representa tives, on 26th ult. offered a resolution calling on their Senators in Congress to resign, as their views, he says, on the Wilinot Proviso are known to be at variance witli those of a largo majority of the people of Kentucky, whoop pose that measure. Good News from the Seminole I*b, an The Floridian and Journal of the 9th i ug . says : “We are enabled to communicate to readers, highly gratifying intelligence f ro ,^.' F.orida Peninsula. When we assure them t| it is entirely reliable, we know that they w feel the same pleasure it: reading, w hich « in publishing it.

Bow. legs himself will receive about SIO,OOO, and t« 0 or three sub-Chiefs about $5,000 each. Thty are to be provided with rations for one year after their arrival in Arkansas, and to be guarrantied in the possession of their negroes. It is estimj. ted that the whole cost of the removal will be about $225,000.” Extraordinary Invention —A Mr. Appold has invented a remarkable machine, called the “Centrifugal Pump,” for draining marshes, itc and a most ingenious affair it is. You have heard of the turbine—a small box water-wheel,posse,, sing extraordinary capabilities for work. Well, Mr. Appold’s model contains such a wheel made of tin, a little thicker but no larger than a half penny'. This is fitted at the bottom ofa square tube dipping into a small cistern containing water, which may represent a lake, &c. The little wheel, being made to rotate with great velocity, throws up water rapidly into the tube above itself until it overflows in a continuous stream at the top, nnd the volume of tlicstream is such as to deliver eight gallons per minute; and, on applying a nozzle, the stream is driven to the distance of twenty feet. This, you will say, is a marvellous effect from so appearantly insignificant acause ; but a wheel, about fifteen inches in diameter, exhibited at the same timr, will deliver 1800 gallons per minute ; it requires to be worked by an engine offour horse power. Mr. Appold base lately proposed to the engineer ol tiie Dutch Government to fix a similar wheel oil the Haarlem Sea, nowin process ofbeing drained, by forty pumps driven by steam. A centrifugal pump of forty feet in diameter would do more work than all others put together, would deliver, so the inventor asserts, 1,500,000 gallor! per minute. With such power at command, one would think we ought never more to hearof ships foundering at sea ; and Jtheir filling with water a possibility. Cotton grown in Spain.— The editor of, Barcelona newspaper says be has bad an oppor tunity of seeing some samples of cotton which was cultivated on the banks of the Guadalquivir, the superior quality of which can compete with the best that is imported from the American con tinent. He recommends that the cultivation of this most useful plant he extended to cverv part of tho peninsula ofSpain ; the soil and tempera ture of which, he says, arc calculated to give rich results. The editor flatters hiniselfthat an inteligont speech lately made by Don Felix Rival before the agricultural society, at Madrid, may produce the effect of extending the cultivation of cotton.
