THE SOUTHERN CONVENTION. This important Convention assembled at Nash, ville on Monday last to deliberate upon the evils that threaten the people of the South, and to suggest, ifpossible, a plan by which they may be averted. It is not plainly indicated what course the Convention will propose. Should that body unite upon a course, let it be w hatever it may, there cannot be a reasonable doubt but that the convention, composed as it is of some of the purest patriots and most enlightened states, men of the South, many of whom have grown gray in the public service, will prove all pow erful in controlling the adverse influences now >1 industriously at work against us. But then on the other hand, should intestine broils and in dexible differences ofopinion prevail among our counsellors, brought together at this critical pe riod of our history, we apprehend it will result in the greatest injury ; and by preventing a change in the past and present policy of the North, will leave it to work out its purposes slowly and surely. This eternal postponement ofour quarrel, which seems to be the chief re source of many ofour National Representatives, and most especially of many of the representa tives of public opinion in Georgia, is the curse of the Soutli. And it is astonishing we hav e not long ago detected the badge of the traitor in this convenient loyalty, which is ever speaking upon the right side and acting on the wrong one. Should the Government—should Congress— should the Northern States, (is ther language,) dose and so, —should one and all go to such a ridiculous excess of tyranny—should they,mcre ly for the sport of seeing how despicable men may be made, by the amount of imposition they can be forced to bear, go to such and such a length,—why then, these degenerate souls will take into solemn consideration our condition, and determine if anything should be done, and ifanything, what. This we can plainly see is the strategetn now employed by some of the very cunning tricksters in politics, in this State, who are, under the present, or under any conceivable set of circumstances, opposed to a Convention of the Southern States. And some of them are using the pretext of opposition to a general Con vention, because they would have us think they thought it a disparagement oft lie sovereignty of the State and the majesty of State Rights, when they are just as fully prepared to preach submis sion, and counsel in aid ofour enemies in a State Convention, as they have been anxious to defeat the meeting of the Southern Convention. As we intimated, our great fear as to the result of the Nashville Convention is, that a few of these dangerous men have crept into that body and by dissentions which their evil industry will cor' tainly devise and attempt, so demoralize the ac tion of the Convention, that its ends will be de feated more effectually than if they had at first succeeded in suppressing the call. With this exception, we think there is not the slightest probability of miscarriage in the deliberations and measures of the Convention. For if it be united, the North will pause—will be overawed, and we be brought to believe that resistance to further invasion ofour rights, is probably what the public sentiment of the South demands—or if this be too daring a presumption for us, we will, nevertheless, accustom our minds to think that some terms should be imposed upon North, ern aggression. And it will he something to the heart of the Southern man, disspirited by the evidences of an abject spirit so plentifully given of late by the South, that his people will, at some day, redeem the pledges made in behalf of their courage and their honor. This subject of Slavery, now ingrained into the very essence of our system, is a vast study which our statesmen would do well to approach in a far different mood than that of the dema gogue or party man. It is not to be controlled like any of those short-lived excitements of the public mind, which begin and end with the pet ty necessities of venal men, and the pressure of mere party exigency. If wo mistake not the history of the world that is past—ofthe European World, and our history, all prove, that in regard to African Slavery Providence has made decrees that are neither to he gainsayed nor circumvcut- C| l by man. And we think that those among our biends who are dreading the sea of troubles that are to overspread our country from the ultimate emancipation, either forced or natural, of our slave population, have not looked upon the ques tion with that appreciative faith, with which Christian people should view this matter. It is bite that we may, by a willful and overweaning spirit, which would not scruple to set Providence ri ght if need he, draw many ovils after the train °l slavery not naturally its concomitants ; but time will prove that the Yankee is not the strong, cst for all that. And although it is our duty, and a very high duty too, to turn the current of feeling and opinion that is now running power fully in a bad direction, yet time is to set all this matter right. If really, as we believe, slavery is here by the express design cf Heaven, for some good end, it will go on strengthening and by a happy reciprocal action, ho a blessing to '"aster and slave. It cannot be pent up until b rots out by the pestilence it breeds. If our negroes are not to have their due proportion of a virgin soil, that would make their toil lighter or better rewarded—ifthey as well as their masters •ire to be swindled out of their share of a domain tli.it/Aei/ both helped to secure, why they will only be kept on the old ground until the pres sure ol each other’s shoulders becomes inconve nient, and then "the institution ” will have vent. No doubt of all this. But the object that all the friends of the South have in view by a speedy Union ai, d prompt action, is to jircvent much ’bat had far better he avoided than endured.— " u 'V'sli to ward off evils, and not to be obliged •o conquer them. And one of those evils is,and 11 18 I’s lor the greatost, that utter extinction of broUi er |y feeling among all ourpeople, which is now threatened, and an estrangement that shall I "no irreparable, and that cun never be healed, though wo sought to do it with tears. Things lave tn grow hut very little worse, before this b but is reached, and what then would this Union u but a union ofthe bitterest curses of God ? H i Jons T.Terkv, Jr. killed Stephen Doi.es r ”’' , r Columbus on Sunday last, and made bis es cape “ THE SOUTHERN PRESS.” Whilst we cheerfully give place to the Pros pectus of this paper, which will be found in ano ther column, we must confess that we are not of the number that can see any great advantage as likely to result from it. In saying this,we are not opposed to the establishment of the new paper at Washington, but would, in noting so marked a feature of the news of the day, give a reason why we think its friends are to be disappointed. First then we do not think it demanded by the necessity ofour case. Cun there be found any where in this whole land, a more spirited, a more intellectual, cultivated, or a more faithful class of men than the editorial corps of the South ern press. They have not rested day or night, while the enemy has been at work. To every vile agency of hypocrisy, sophistry and prejudice they have opposed with zeal and power, the no blest exertions of bead and heart, that have left nothing more to be done. Our cause has not suffered in their bands, and the world admits that the argument in our behalf does not need any further illustration. The points involved are not doubtful; for long ago, ihey have all been settled. Our orators and our press have, in a moral and intellectual point of view, triumphed, and signally triumphed. The evil with us lias been the want of a forum. Every thing we say or that is said for us is intercepted, and never reaches the audience it would do most good a mong. Beginning with the horn book of the little child, misrepresentations of our character and our institutions are conveyed through every ve hicle, to every age, and the light of truth is veiled from tile popular mind of the North.— And though Abolitionists have been hopelessly excluded from our borders for years, they yet as industriously now, as ever, keep up their lec tures, their sermons and printed tirades against us. All this is done upon the sound principle that there is the spot to give the impulse to a measure that can always reach us, if from there, it can be made to reach the Legislature of the Union. We admit, and feel bound to say it, that our party press at Washington have not given us as effectual service as would have done us full jus tice, and asis our right. But then that same spirit of truth compels us to say we are both un reasonable ami unjust when we blame the con ductors of the metropolitan press for that. Who are to blame then ? We ourselves—we, the Southern tnen, who still insist “at all hazards and to the last extremity,” that a national organ ization of parties shall be maintained. Who can expect a mortal man to discharge acceptably to North and South the duties of a party editor, when the North, to a man almost, are united a gainst our cause and the Soutli ought to a man to he united for it. And it is rank folly to talk about tlie slave question at this day not being a political one, —for it is the germ of at least nine tenths of all the politics, State and National, of this people at the present time. But we were speakingof the new “ Press.”— Will it circulate at the North, and how is it to be done,and why will our papers then not cir culate there too ? If it is to come only here we arc convinced we hope, and among us there are many papers moving heaven and earth in our cause, which papers are to suffer to the full ex tent of the circulation ofthe “Press.” We have no confidence in any further appeals cither to the intelligence or moral sense of the Northern people. And who can blatnc us for this distrust or call us uncharitable, when the conduct of her Church is regarded for a moment. If her doc tors and teachers, the Lcvites who minister in holy things, treat us as they have, vvliat hope can he had of the political riffraff', and of the tnuili’ude driven on by bigotry and envv ? No, touch them on their interest and you have com mand then of their senses, for their pocket is the seat of the soul. And we say again and again, any scheme that Southern men shall divine and propose, that is intended to meet our difficulty with the North, that is not based on some prac tical measure affecting the hope of gain and fear of loss to Northern men, will prove worse than useless. If some such policy is pursued, we then may hope to havejusticc at the hands as well as from the judgements of anti-slavery men. Then would their dim vision re ceive help to sec how we have been injured, from their god of mammon, and they learn to do justice to us in making a good bargain for themselves. We are no prophet, nor the son of one, but we predict this day if anything is ef fected at the South, and a re-action that results in anything really good for us takes place. i‘. will he through the agency of the mercantile community at the North, and the stake they have in keeping us in a good humour with them.— Bills of Exchange, more than bills in Congress, are to be our best supports. The Crops. —From all parts of the cotton growing region, vve notice great complaints are being made of the unfavorable appearance of the cotton, and it is believed that the crop this year will not much exceed two-thirds of what it pro bably would have been, had the planting season been a favorable one. The wheat crop has also been materially in jured in places—butcorn generally looks well. Georgia Sugar Cane. —We learn that Capt. A. B. Lawron has a field of fifty five acres of sugar cane, near Albany, Baker county, which looks beautiful. Capt. L. has other fields equal ly as promising, and on seventeen acres last year ho obtained three hundred gallons of syrup per acre, and sold it at 374 cents per gallon.

Female Institutions of Georgia, 4.c. Every citizen of our State may justly feel proud of her otnvard inarch to greatness in beina provided so liberally for the education of her fair daughters. The following Female Colleges stand prominent and are especially worthy of public support, viz ; Wesleyan Female College, Macon. —This ex cellent institution ts now in a prosperous condi tion, having about one hundred and sixtv pupils, including those in tile preparatory department It lias an able and competent Faculty, with the Rev. Dr Elmson at its bead, who is deservedly popular,—and under its present organization, a high destiny in honor and usefulness awaits this ornament to our city and State. Madison Collegiate Institute for Young Ladies. —We learn that this institution has six Teach ers two males (one of whom is Principal,) and four females, and one hundred students. An extensive apparatus, costing one thousand dol lars, and the cabinet specimens of geology, dec. will prove highly beneficial to it. Lagrange Female Seminary. —This institution lias a Principal and nine Assistants, with one hundred and forty pupils. It has been in opera tion about eight years past. Dalton Female College. —The charter of this institution was obtained last winter, and we learn that the large brick building for it is nearly completed. This institution is to be under the supervision of the Baptists—and Gen. Duff Green has offered to make a donation of SIO,OOO to it, provided the Baptist State Convention of Georgia will contribute the same amount. Furman Theological Institute. —The an nual commencement of this institution will take place on Friday, 14th inst. The Commence ment Sermon will be preached by the Rev. H. A. Duncan, and an address by the Rev. J. R. Kendrick, of Charleston, (formerly Pastor of the Baptist Church of this city,) will be deliver ed before the Rhetorical Society An address will also be delivered before the Society of Alum ni, by Rev. A. M. Cartlkdgf., ofFairffeld, and a Poem before the same, by Rev R Furman, of Society Ilill, S. C. Debating Society.— We are pleased to learn that our industrious Mechanics am endeavoring to form a Library and Debating Society. This is a laudable enterprise, which, if successful, must prove a great benefit to that useful class of the community, as well as many of the men ofour city, who would thus have an oppor tunity of storing their minds with useful infor mation, and spending their winter evenings pro fitably, instead of suffering them to pass with out proper improvement, as we fear lias been the case too often heretofore. Wherever simi lar societies have been formed, the most benefi cial results have followed, and we hope that an enterprise promising such advantages will not be suffered to fail for want of adequate support. Wo wish it abundant success. Sunday School Celebration. —We learn that the scholars ofthe different Sunday Schools in this city and Vineville, purpose celebrating the Fourth of July next. A procession will be formed and proceed to the Baptist Church, under the direction of Washington Poe, Esq., who has been appointed Marshal of the Dav, where an address will be delivered. This is a noble cause, in which every parent should feel a deep and abiding interest. We anticipate quite an array of the juveniles of our city, on the occa- Macon in this respect stands A. No. 1. Sailed. —The New York Scientific Ameri can says:—The Advance and the Rescue, the vessels fitted out by the munificence of Mr.Hen ry Grinnell, of this city, for the Arctic expedi tion, in search of Sir John Franklin, sailed last Friday, at noon, for their destination among the icebergs and eternal snows of the North.— These vessels are under the regulations of the navy, in order to ensure discipline and provide against desertion. It is hoped, however, that there will be no necessity of enforcing those laws, for the brave fellows who volunteered up on this hazardous service have done so more for glory than for meaner considerations : and it was a touching sight to behold those ships sail down the bay, with the benevolent object in view of extricating from frozen seas, a man and brother though of another country and clime, at the risk of sharing a similar fate themselves. Since they went away it lias been reported that Sir John Franklin is safe—but it is doubtful news. We give in another column the instructions given to the commander of the expedition „y the Secretary of the Navy, which will be read with interest. New Kind oe Cotton Bagging. —The South ern Whig says,“We understand that Col. Mose ly, a native of this State, and for many years a resident of Wilkes county, but now an enter prising citizen of Mississippi, has discovered a process by which a very superior article of Cot ton Bagging can be made of the long moss so &. bundsn* throughout the Southern States. Vv’e learn that lie is about securing a patent for bis discovery, and that lie has just returned from the North, where he has purchased machinery fora Bagging Factory which heisaboutto estab lish at or near Jackson Mississippi. If this experi ment should succeed as well as tlto discoverer of the process anticipates, it will probably effect a revolution in the manufacture of this article, which enters so largely into the annual con sumption of the planters oftlio South—asdoubt lessbagging manufactured of this meteriul can bo furnished much lower,while it is said to be far superior to any now in use.” We doubt it. The Cow Pea.— An exchange paper says; “It is found that the Cow Pea answers every purpose in Southern culture that the Clover docs for the North ; as food far the human family it is preeminently superior, as food for stock, the peas aro better than corn, and the vine and leaf fully equal to clover, and as a fertilizer for the earth it is not surpassed by any plant in cultiva tion. [JTWcare pleased to see that the Baptist Publication Society located at Charleston, S3. C. are publishing a number of books written by Southerners. California for Slavery— The West Ten nessee Whig, noticing the arrival of a gentle man in Jackson from the gold mines of Califor nia says “This gentleman says that not one man out of ten in California, ever saw the late Constitution which they have adopted and that in bis opinion, there is a large majority of the present population of California in favor of ne gro slavery. We think this tale very likely; for thousands and thousands, of those in that State, are there hunting gold and have no idea ofmak ing it their home, therefore have taken no trou ble to inform themselves in regard to the provi sions of the Constitution of California.” Balance Due. —lt iscalculated that the val ue of exports to California, from all the States on this side of the Rocky Mountains, amount to s3o,ooo,ooo—the imports of gold dust, in payment, to sls,ooo,ooo—balance yet due, $35,- 000,0(10. If this should not be paid in nine Months, won’t there be some smashing r American Needle Manufacture. —The only Needle Factory in operation in the United States is at Newark, N. J. It is owned by Mr. Wm. Essex, an Englishman, who has establish, cd himself in New Jersy. The manufacture is said to be prosecuted upon the same principle, w ith the same facility and of equal quality with needles made by' the celebrated R, Deminings &. Sons, of Reddich, Eng. Hon. F. H. Elmore. —The death of this dis tinguished Senator from Soutli Carolina, was an nounced in the Senate at Washington, on the 30th ult., by liis colleague, Senator Butler, who, together with Messrs. Webster, Davis, andYuLEE, of the Senate, and Woodward of the House of Representatives, passed deserved compliments to the character of the deceased and the customary resolutions were adopted. Mr. Elmore was some years ago a prominent member of Congress though at that time a young man. He afterwards was elected President of the Bank of the State of South Carolina, which office he ably filled until his recent appointment to fill the vacancy of the lamented Calhoun.— His philanthropic disposition, lofty genius and excellent inoral character, eminently qualified him to represent his gallant State and till the vacancy occasioned bv the decease of his illus trious predecessor. 11 is remains left Washing ton on the 4th inst. for their final resting place in South Carolina.
