TH.it Committee, of a Baker's Dozen. T 1,,. Washington correspondent oftlie Charles- Courier of the 2oth ult., (which we publish -I(jinour last, without comment, the lateness of kehuurof it*receipt preventing us at '.hat time,) (ports thnt the Compromise Cenimittee of the ( nate are nearly ready to make their proposi |ons of seltlemant of the slavery war, and upon |j,basis. The California petition—the Terri. )ri al bills —the Texan proposition, are all to be ( ied on through one and the same bill. YVe jveseen it elsewhere stated that the fugitive lave bill was also to travel in the same omnibus, Btthis writer does not so state. The provisions fllns last bill, the object of which is so vital to 5 are “so favorable and well guarded, as to •move ALL OBJECTIONS OF TIIE NORTHERN eoPle ” The bill as agreed upon, so amends lie Act of 1793, that it is made the duty of the cderal Courts in each State to appoint Commis loners to enforce tho Act. The master of a Snapped or harbored slave must first go before oac of his own county courts and describe his property, state the fact of his elopement and in a certified form present this evidence before the Commissioners in the State where the runaway jgfound. The commissioners are then to arrest sue slave, deliver him into the hands of his own. er, li iking his bond that the runaway shall have ,ulil on his return home, on the issue presented is the master's certificate. It is gravely stated that these guards are wisely intended to prevent the possibility of anything like kidnapping.— These safeguards are all provided, of course, against the roguery of the Southern master, he being the only one who by any likelihood or possibility could he at fault in the premises. It is sa.d that Gen. Cass has tho credit (?) of sug gesting this compromise. Whoever he may be* he has evinced in this project, the clever inge nuity of one who has been able by a few strokes of the pen, to turn what was intended originally for a grave drama, into low farce. As briefly as possible we shall proceed to state our objections tethis mode of quieting the complaints of the South against one of the most serious wrongs, if not the very worst grievance, she has ever had to endure. First then, we object to this bill, or any other, ofsim lar character, that could possibly be de nied, because it tends directly to discredit the paramount law of the Union, and to make the very Constitution itself subordinate to a law of [the majority in Congress. YVe cannot escape I this necessary implication deduced from the pas sage of any such bill. YY'hy, if the Constitution [of the Federal Union has not lost its power and [virtue, should a bill, avowedly a supplemental one,bo framed to eke out the authority of the [Constitution which was a dead letter, without this additional aid. A declaratory law making the organic law more definite, clearing away any ambiguities, is all proper enough, and clearly within the scope of the powers of Congress. A law too, defining the mode in which a constitu tional provision shall be reduced to practical ef fect is also legitimate, but never until now did ive hear tho startling doctrine that a plain con stitutional guaranty had to he endorsed by an Bet of Congress before it could be effective. And ■aking this fact into view, in discussing the slave ■question, we think it among the most portentous [signs of these evil times. YY’e submit to any Scandid mind if in that whole charter so much ■wasted by us, there was one light more dogged ily contested by the North or more inflexibly ■maintained by the South, than the very one of I recapture, now to be condescendingly and frigid lly accredited by Congress. Throughout the [whole anxious and stormy debate that the Con stitution passed through, what one topic was ■ more vexed, more pertinaciously elaborated in I every manner and shape than this one of slavery? I Nothing, literally nothing, was left to he defined lor secured in relation to this matter. The North j for her part of the compromise took afull repre- I sentation of all her free blacks, and we allowed her to restrict us to a representation of three fifths. YVe then for our part, received assurances “fevery needful protection in the enjoyment of this species of property. And to prove the ah solute certainty in which the minds of contem poraneous witnesses as well as their successors, to this compact, rested in regard to this whole matter, see how quietly and effectively the Con stitution met the present difficulty for more than fifty years. Who ever heard until that arch •mpostor and murderous hearted, party imp, Seward, took station among decent people, that there was any flaw in the constitutional prevision that even on Abolitionist could slip through, which entitled us to the recapture of our fugitive slave. The whole of this thing of raising a dust about the right of the slaveholder to a Iditional security, is an after thought, which it took tho vile Punic faith of our enemies sixty years to hatch. We have heard it contended in Georgia, by a gentleman in the very first rank of his party, Ithat the South had no just cause of complaint kguinst the North for the laws passed recently [against the surrender of runaways. He con [tended that the security vouched safer! to us was lalre act of the Government and tho Government should extend it That is to say, a State or any Inumber of them, can be neutral as regards ex press constitutional injunctions and obligations. I hat a State may contest a point—settle it to [her advantage—firmly ratify the settlement and i then throw tho obligation of observing this ratifi- Icarion entirely upon the General Government. " * ,at then goes with the oath which every State, i upon placing its seal to our original compact of Union, faithfully promised should bo subscribed ! b y bar Executive—h er Legislators—her Judges, to observe and kedp every command of this high | authority ? If this wise and compendious inethud of creating a unity of interest and vcnc -1 ution for this sacred instrument, was not in truded to make each Stato the guardian and aunisterial agent of tlilf Constitution, what good hen could it do ? If the North just Autos a hot '"Utost with ns in framing tho Constitution to ?' 1 llßr as regards negro slavery, should say vve u ad,,, ityou should have back your slave the t ; n P ed ° ul of ’y° ur service to our borders, hut ■ fr! v' W ° W 1" not ai<l y° u 8 finger, hut shall I "P°>* every man in our midst who aids in 1 CT l ° US worl< ’ ' vho ,h en shall say that tho lrs not “f j"*! i title to obstruct in every way the law of slave representation, and secure to ourselves a vorn in Congrees for the two-fifths of our negro population that have no voice there? One evasion of this first compromise is as just and reasonable as the other, and we contend, that it would not be a more unblushing perfidy on the part of the South to suborn a false return of our slave population that we should escape our contract in regard to their representation, than it is now for the North to prevent our re capture of fugitive slaves, or say that it is the sole duty of Congress to see them returned to us One word as to tho probable workings of this new fangled policy. The end is threatened, Heaven knows with sufficient signs of evil por tent. But let this law pass and the end is at the door. Let the Congress of the Union sav tha* the Constitution is so weak as to need propping, and the charm of its venerable character is gone. YVeak as is this feeling, it is shared in by very many yet. But when you say a “new law" is needed, the hounds of abolition rage and destruc tion will open in full cry. Nothing then will stop them. Then when the certificate in due form, so well drawn up as to dumfound the crazy fanatic, is presented to the Commissioner, what will pre. vent the writ of habeas corpus from taking the slave and the commissioner too, before their Courts ? What fresh faction will this new law surround the master, the official or the recusant Court with ? Say the mob rises (and this is the point we wish to bring our reader to,) and the slave is taken from the hands of the Commis sioner and turned loose—Then suppose, if it be not ridiculous to suppose a Northern Commis sioner would so act, that this functionary calls in the aid of the standing military force, then what? YVe will tell our readers what, war to the knife and the very first effusion will efface the lust record of our Union. YY’o do before Heaven believe that nmong all the diabolical agencies so rife in the land, and so active in producing a lupture between the States, notone is half so likely to do so, and at the shortest warning, as such a law as it is said tho Senate’s commit tee will report. It will bo mere child’s play to enact this law without providing the means of its enforcement; for then it would be as weak and contemptible in the eyes of Northern men as the Constitution has already proven. It will be just as weak to think of calling on the local malitia for aid to defend the master’s rights— when that militia in its heart execrates the mas ter and would gladly help his slaave to cut the tyrant’s throat. Then we say the United Slates’ standing force must be called on to exe cute the law first, and then be quartered on the people to suppress rebellion afterwards. Then the General Government is made a party to the quarrel and must come out best in it, or sink below the contempt of the meanest. The other anti-slave States would never see tho blood of those shed with whom there was such follow feeling, nor could the South stand still while a cordon of States hostile to us was beleaguering our defender. It is all in vain. The evil sprang from a distempered moral cause, and moral re form of the politics of the nation must save us, if anything can. Certain it is that weak and cowardly concessions in our part, or a preten ded yield to us by our enemies of now and then a dole of what was ours from the first, will nei ther restore tranquility to the people or confi dence in our liberties to the South. New Route to the Pacific —The Mont gomery Advertiser slute-i (h it Capt J. P Levy recently passed through that city, on his way to Washington for the purpose of securing a con tract to carry the U. S. mails to California by a new rottie, which promises great advantages in regard to speed and economy. This route pass es through Mexico, from Alvarado on the Gulf, to the bay of Ilutulca on the Pacific, the dis tance being only one hundred and eighty miles, and a navigable liver on either side of the divi ding range of mountains, by means of which complete water communication can he perfected at a very moderate expense. The port on the Pacific, at the termination of this route, is rep resented as far superior to that of Tehuantepec. Capt. Levy has already secured from the Mexi can Government, the perpetual and exclusive right of way over this route. He is an Ameri can by birth, has had long experience in tin Pacific trade, and is quite confident ofsuccessin his new enterprise. Gen. McDuffie. —The Edgefield Advertiser of Wednesday, says, “Gen. McDuffie, in com pany with Col. Si lgleton, passed the night in our Village, on Sunday night last, on his way to his residence in Abbeville Though perhaps, feebler in health, his mind seems to have impro ved since lie passed through here in October last. His recollection of persons and events is better, and his conversation more connected.” M. Bonisco, Russian Minister, about whose exile to Siberia so many affecting paragraphs have appeared in the American press, returned to this country in the Cambria. Trade between China and California. — A letter has been received at the Department of State, at Washington, from the lion. John W. Davis, American Counsel at Canton, stating the number of vessels and the amount of their car goes, that have left there for California. Seventeen vessels have sailed, with $548,000 value of cargo. This is another important link in the chain of evidence that our territory on the Pacific is to bo the grand depot for the trade of the East Indies with other portions of the world. Talents always Ascendant —Talents,when- ever they have had a suitable theatre, have nev er failed to emerge from obscurity, and assume their proper rank in the estimation of the world. The jealous pride ofpower may attempt to press, and crush them ; the base and malignant rancour of impotent spleen, and envy, may strive to em barrass and retard their flight ; but these efforts, so far from achieving their ignoble purpose, so far from producing a discernible obliquity, in tho ascent of genuine, and vigorous talents, will serve only to increase their momentum, and mark their transit, with an additional stream of glory.

IIP Mr. Wentworth recently offered in the House of Representatives a Resolution providing for the appointment of a select committee, to in vestigate, among other toings, the causes oftlie delay in the public printing ; whether adequate prices are paid ; whether the printing is kept back to extort higher prices ; whether there has been any combination to break up the contract system; whether the contractors and their secu rities are praties to it; what profits are made, and what alterations are needed to facilitate the work. O’ The Baltimore Sun says : The Report on Land Titles in California, as made in pursuance of instructions from the Secretary of State and the tecretary of the Interior, by William Cary Jones, Esq., occupies nearly two pages oftlie Washington Republic. It is characterised throughout with great ability. Mr. Jones has evidently investigated the subject fully and thoroughly,and declares that “thegrants in Cali fornia are mostly perfect titles.” He also thinks the stato of land titles in that country will allow the public lands to he ascertained, and the pri vate lands set apart, by judicious measures, with little difficulty, and where there may be reason to suppose the grant invalid, the Government may direct a suit to be instituted for its nnulment. O’ The vote in favor of Mr. Grinnell’s ex pedition, to sail from New York in a few days in search of Sir John Franklin, is highly appro ved. It is in accordance with the spirit and hu manity of the age. One of the objects of the measure is to place Mr. Grinnell’s vessels un der the laws and discipline ofour Navy, with out expense to the Government. Mr. Baker said “Sir John Franklin was a distinguished cap tain, and had earned his title of Sir, as a reward of merit. Gentlemen had spoken of this Expe dition ns one for glorification So it was said of Columbus when he exhibited the egg to the Spanish Court. Mr. Grinnell has shown his benevolent desire to rescue the lost navigator from the dangers pending. YVe approved his motives and purposes, and was willing to aid the enterprise. It was no longer true (continued Mr. B) that England is mistress of the sea. As it was said that‘literature belongs to no country,’ he would say that ‘misfortune belongs to no country.’ Ho wanted to lift the American flag to the masthead—to send the vcssls forth as messengers of benevolence and kindness, to the remotest regions of the Arctic seas." New M odf. of Raising Wheat. —Anexperi merit been tried iu lowa, and recorded in the Prairie Farmer, by J. A. Rosseau, where two bushels of wheat and one of oats were mixed and sown together in the fall on one acre. The oats shot up rapidly, and were of course cut down by the frost. They, however, furnished a warm covering for the earth, and when the snow fell nmong the thick stalks and leaves, they kep t it from blowing away. This covering prevented the winter killing of the wheat, and the oats yielded a rich dressing for the crop the follow ing spring. The result was an abundant crop, while land precisely similar alongside of it, and treated in the same manner, with the exception of omitting tho oats, was utterly worthless. O’ It is said Hon. YY’tn. C. Preston, of South Carolina, is lingering on the brink of the grave. Though bowed down by sickness, hs perserver ingly performs the laborious duties of President of the South Carolina College, and notwith standing the remonstrances of friends, is con stantly jeopardizing his life. O’Lady Franklin, in a letter to a friend in New York City, solicits all to disbelieve the re ports as to her husband’s safety* which came from various points, ns the Exquimnux report of Inst year roaches them, and mny have the effect of arresting the noble feelings which are promp ting liberal measures for the rescue of Sir John and his expedition. Scarlet Fever in Augusta. Tho Augusta Constitutionalist of lhe4th inst. says:—YVehave hitherto forborne noticing the fact of the existence of Scarlet Fever in this city and in the vicinity, although it has been here several weeks, as the cases have not been numerous, and these have been generally of a mild type. A few cases among children had terminated fatally where the disease attacked feeble constitutions, but we were induced to be- | lieve that it had not shown itself as a formula- ! hie disease when attackting children of strong j constitutions, and when the cases were treated > promptly. Up to a very recent date it had pre. vailed only among children. But the impres sive and calamitous deaths within the last few days of two lovely and interesting young mar ried ladies, sisters, who but a short time since were happy brides, prove that the ravages of this tearful epidemic are taking a wider range. It indicates also that the disease is growing more maligant in type. It was confidently predicted that the disease would disappear with the arri' val of warm weather, as it only prevails in win ter and spring, and is most distructive in cold climates. It is unknown in tropical regions. As the Scarlet Fever still shows no signs of abatement, we consider it our duty to speak of it, and give what we believe ihe true state of the facts There arc not many cases now, nor have there been at any one time. But when it ap pears in a family, it generally goes through, at tacking all, nr ni arly all the children, black and white, on the premises. The two melancholy cases above alluded to are the only cases of ad ults being attacked that that we have heard of. Children who have reached the age of thirteen or fourteen years, are not apt to be attacked.— A few deeply interesting cases ofyoung persons about that age, have occurred,one of the termin ating fatally. So far, the spring has been unusually cold and backward. YY’e have had few warm days, and no really hot weather. The community would hail a few consecutive days of hot wea ther as a blessing, as it is confidently expected that with it, this scourge which has brought bitter sorrow into several families in our com munity, will take its departure from among «s. In the meantime we should advise persons not to bring children into our city to remain any tune. Those already here may have im bibed the seeds of the disease, and such would not escape by a removal from the city. It may be most prudent to remaim within convenient reach of medical attention. It may be proper to add that this disease is not at this time peculiar to this locality. YVe learn that the scarlet fever is now prevailing in Savannah, and in some portions of the up-coun try. YY’e hear of one important death of an adult in Lincoln county —an interesting lady, mother of several children. YY’e understand that the disease prevails there chiefly among children. Erysipelas of a malignant type is also pre vailing in Savannah, and has been fatal in some cases. The symptoms of the two diseases arc, in some respects, similar, and we are told that some of our Medical Faculty are of the opin ion that some of the cases here were cases of Erysipelas. Health oi Augusta. —By reference to the Report of the Sexton, it will he seen how idle and unfounded are the reports abroad about tho health of our city. YY’e have heard it stated that in a neighboring county it was reported that the Sexton had taken to their graves some 12 or 15 corpses in a single day. This is too bad. There is usually more sickness in our tow nin the early spring, than at most other periods of the year, and we do not know that there is more this than in former years. It will be seen that during the ast 33 days, there have been but nine deaths from scarlet fever Certainly that is a small number for a city of about ten thousand inhabitants. But few cases have been malignant and most of them were mild. There has been much misapprehension and exaggeration about the prevalence of this disease. YY’e have no doubt as ntany cases of this fever, in times of its prevalence, have occttred in interior country towns ol 1000 or 1200 inhabitants, in the same length of time, as in this city in the last month. YVe arc gratified to state that no new cases have occurred for several days, and that a tem porary alarm has given way before toe true state of the facts. If adi VercTit impression existed a few days since, we think it does not exist that persons at a distance need apprehend no danger in visiting our city.— Avgusta Republic the 7th inst. Freshet in the Hudson. — The worst anti cipations concerning the loss by the freshet in the Hudson are being realized at Glen’s Falls. The first timber boome gave way on Sunday last, and the logs came down upon those further down the stream with such force as to burst through them, and carry oft', also, a portion of the bridge near the Falls. The number of saw logs swept away is estimated at over 125,000, value at more than $200,000, and besides these, large vuantities of spruce and hemlock timber valued at as many thousands of dollars, were* lost. The saw logs mostly belonged to twelve individuals, who had been accumulating them for two years. The freshet in the Merrimac has been very destructive both to railroad and privato propeity the damage being estimated ot $50,000. At Lowell, on the 2d, the water was so high that tho mills closed. Suffocation. —Several persons in the Pres byterian Church at Bennington, New Jersy, be came unexpectedly sick on Sunday last, and were obliged to leave the house, and several fainted. The feellir.g of suffocation became so general that the pastor closed the services and dismissed the assembly, when it was ascertained that the house was filled with carbonic acid gas from charcoal in the furnace. Qj*Gallson Horses may he cured by applying white lead, rubbed on dry, or diluted wilh milk or grease. A few applications aro sufficient.— This will also prevent white hairs from growing over tho wound, unless they arc the natural color. The Southern States —The Philadelphia City Item makes the following just remarks : “The Southern States, with all theirintelligence, and with all their enterprise, are blit just about beginning to learn the full extent and characte r oftlie resources at their command. The fact of their being eminently fitted to produce those raw materials which enter into the composition of our most extensive Northern manufactures, and compose no small part of our ocean trade, 1 seems to have acted like a narcotic in producing the impression that they were doing all they were bound to do, or that they could do. This torpor has at last gone off; and Southern plan' ters see the possibility, nay the desirableness of taking advantage oflhe vast water power oftheir respective States, to produce the manufactured article, and thus save, as in cotton, for instance, the cost of transportation to and fro. To act on ibis discovery is true Southern policy. YY'e an ticipate the effect in a more independent, a more dignified feeling on the part of the South, which whilst taking from it its present slavish feeling of dependence, will make it less regard the North in an antagonistic light, and thus remove a good part of the causes of that irritation already ra pidly subsiding. Elements of Insurance. —There is no sys tem of business that so equalizes the commerce oftlie earth,as that oflnsuraiice—apply it wiierc you will, either to life, health, fire, or marine— It is a tax levied for the benefit of the unfor tunate. Every person who desires to avail him. self of the security becomes in some sort a mem' her of the compact. Sould misfortune bcfal| him, he participates of all the advantages. If lie escapes disaster for a time, his neighbor docs not, and thus he contributes to his benefit. Exports from Uhaleston. —YVe perceive from an elaboate tabular statement in UieCharles ton Mercury, of the 18lh ultimo, compiled with that care and minuteness that characterizes all tho statistical information of that excellent Journal, that the total value of exports in Amer ican and Foreign vessels,from the port ofCharles ton, during the first quarter of the present year, amounted to $-1,040,866, while those during the first quarter of 1849, were only of the value of $3,674,112, showing an excess in the first quarter of 1850, compared with the first quarter of 1849, of $366,754. This speaks well for the the increasing com mercial prosperity of South Carolina. Horrible Suffering on the Plains. —The Joliet, (III.) Signal says, thnt from a letter re cently reeived in that town, it learns that six persons from that place were recontly lost upon the plains. lour of the lost company died, hut the name of tho unfortunate men who foil victims to starvation are not given. The com pany, it seems, left Salt Lake for California, hu* lost their way and wandered southward. After wandering in that dreary region for months,they struck the Pacific Ocean 400 miles South of San Francisco. The following is an extract from the letter. “YVe have had a severe time of it. Four months and two weeks we were lost in the wil derness— wandering around and trying to find our way out. We travelled over roads where no white man hail ever been belbre. YVe lost all we had—wagons, horses, oxen, cows and every thing. Three months we had to live on our horses and oxen. VVe killed them, and ate them, intestines and all. Four of our compeny starved to death. YVe were six days without water. You cant think how much we suf fered. HT The New Orleans Crescent relates that a gentleman who has just returned from Califor nia, having been absent from the States about fouteen months, states that when he reached California curiosity' led him to visit a grave-yard, where he found only c/cncn graves ; nine months from that ho followed the last remains of a friend to the same grave-yard, and during the time intervening between the two visits there had been no less than Jourtccn hundred pesons interred in the same yard. YVitli these facts be fore us, can we wonder why it is that so many of us arc disappointed in not receiving letters from friends who have left our fiiresides on an adventurous visit to a country where both “for tunes” and “graves” are made with such extra ordinary rapidity.

O’ The YY’ashington Monument is to be gra ced with a Latin inscription.

Cure for a Ring-worm. —John S, Pkinner, the editor of the Plough, the Loom and the An vil, furnishes the following receipe which he says is infallible, for the cure of ring-worms. Heat a shovel to a bright red—cover it with grains of Indian corn—press them with a cold flatiron. They will burn to a coal and exude an oil on the surface of the flatiron with which rub the ring-worm, and afler one or two appli cations it wil be Uilt as dead as Julias Ciesar. Ashes to Corn. —A correspondent asks the editor of tho Genessee Farmer, which is the best method of applyiug asheß to Corn ? Should it be put in the hill when planted—on the top of it after planting—or after it comes up? And what is the quantity to bo applied, eiter way of leached or unleached. To which the editor replies: The above are questions of considerable importance. Last season wo injured a crop of corn, or rather saw it injured, by the application of ashes and salt in contact with young tender plants. These were thrown with the hand on each hill. Had the application been made as soon as the corn was covered atplanting, spreading the ashes and salt over considerable surface, no injury would have been done, while the fertilizers would have been extremely beneficial.
