Kir.nr.—The Democratic Southern Rights candidates for Tax Collector and Receiver have succeeded in the following counties, viz : Bibb, Chatham, Cobb, Pike and Muscogee. In all these counties the Submissionists triumphed at 'the November election. M. & W. Rail Road. —At a meeting of the Stockholders of the Macon <Jfc Western Railroad held in this city on the 7lh instant, Isaac Scott was re elected President, and the Board of Di- rectors of last year were also re-elected. On motion of N. C. Munroe, Esq., the following Resolution was unanimously adopted : Besotted, That we, the Stockholders, are highly gratified with the successful management of the Road—its finances for the last twelve months—and with the zeal and fidelity of each Officer of the Company in the discharge of his appropriate duty. Central Rail Road —The annual electicu for a Board of Directors of this Company took place in Savannah on Monday last, and resulted in the re-election of the old Board. The busi ness of the Road has increased considerably of late, and its affairs are represented as being in a very prosperous condition. VV out Acquiesce. —lt is said that the leaders of neither the Whigs nor Democrats in Congress will join the National Union Party. Cadoiit.—An agent of tliePost Office Depart ment arrested 11. 11. Kimbrough, of Columbus, in tliiscity on Sunday evening last, charged with robbing the mail of $6,000, which was mailed at Cheraw on the 20th of November last. He confessad the crime and gave up $5,320 of the money—He had been engaged as a clerk iu the office at Columbus, where he committed tile theft. Latest from Europe —The Niagara has ar rived with Liverpool dates to the 21it ult.— All descriptions of American cottons had ad vanced from Jd to |d. per lb. The sales of the week amount to 65,660 bales, of which specula tors took fourteen thousand and exporters twelve thousand bales—the remainder by the trade. (CpThe London Times anticipates a pacific solution of the German question, from the dis cussion at the Conferences at Dresden, which commenced on tho 18th ultimo, pursuant to the treaty recently concluded at Olmutz. Orders bad been issued for a reduction oft!ie armaments both in Austria and Prussia. Pork is Tennessee.— The Knoxville Regis ter of the 28tb ultimo says “such has been the amount of purk offered for sale in this market, (much of which lias been sold at $4) that we will not be surprised if,before the season closes the price reduces to $3 50 per hundred pounds- We have already heard of one or two sales at $3 75.” Pork is scarce in Macon and sells at 6i cent 8 per pound—Fresh Beef ten cents per lb. retail. The Scabcjtv of Silver Coin. —The New York Herald states that the withdrawal ofsilver from circulation has been going on rapidly in tile United States for some time past. Mexican dollars are at a premium offive per cent. ; and tho brokers in Wall street charge a shilling pre mium on five dollars’ worth. Shopkeepers and traders are iu consequence much incommoded to their business. The English papers attempt to account fur the scarcity which exists in the old world, us well as in the new, of silver cur* rency, by the large quantity which has gone to California—the fact that gold coin to the amount of four millions of pound sterling hasb.een with drawn from circulation in Holland, and the de mand that has arisen for it in consequence of the threatening aspect of affairs in Germany The scarcity ofsilver change is severely felt in this section also, and our banks pay out gold in preference to silver. Bout it Carolina Atlantic Steam Naviga tion Comp an v.—The Charleston Courier says ; “The entire amount ofprivate subscriptions to this company, one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars, was taken up yesterday fore boob, in a very short time after the books wore opened. By the act of incorporation, a like amount will be loaned to the company by the State, and they have authority to extend their capital to ore million of dollars. It l.s estimated that the subscription, made yesterday, will build the first ship, and that she may be put afloat by the first of July next. One subscription only went to the highest amount limited by the law, (twelve thousaud dollars,) the rest was for smaller sums, many being for a single share, one thousand dollars.” Wilkes Countv Railroad— The corps of Engineers who have been engaged for several weeks past in locating the line of Railroad from Washington to Double Wells, completed their labors recently. The result of the survey is, that while heavy work will be necessary aia few points, the road generally is highly favorable.— The Road will intersect the Georgia Railroad at a point about Ij miles above Double Wells,and the whole length of the line is 16J miles. The ■contractors expect to commence the work imme diately and complete it during the year. Cotton in India. —We see it is stated that the Chamber of Commerce at Manchester, Eng > has taken up the promotion of the growth •of cotton in India with much earnestness. The British Government could not be inducod, last session of Parliament, to respond to the wishes ,of the Chamber, and appoint a Commissioner to i proceed to India to inquire into the obstacles which prevented an increased growth of cotton in that country. The chamber .entertains an i lea of sending n private commission to India.— 1 be gentleman to whom this important respon sible service will be entrusted is, in all proaahil* ity, Mr. Alexander Mackay.the author of“ The Western world,” who is well known in the Uni lid States. Death of Rf.v. Dk. Neufville. —The Rev. £ Neufville, for many years Rector of Christ Church at Savannah,died in that city on the I*l lDl>t The British Mail Steamf.rs.— The Cu. nard company are now having constructed in the Clyde, two more vessels for their line of Atlantic steamers. They are to be named the “Arabia” and “Persia,” and will be of greater length and have greater propelling power than ally now in line. The Arabia is to be command ed by Capt. Judkins, now of the Asia, and the Persia, by Capt. Ryrie, now of the Africa. “SiLVER-GraVS” AND ‘‘WoOLLy-lIEADS.” New 1 ork has been famous for giving new names to party politicians. The State has been divided in “buck-tails,” “pewter-muggors,” and “barnburners”— names all originating in New York, Two new parties have recently come into eaia tence, dividing (lie whigs as the “hunkers” and “barnhunners’divide the democrats ; and these new parties are already christened “silver-grays” and “woolly-heads ” The Utica Convention Fillmore men are nicknamed “silver-grays" and the Syracuse Seward inen are nicknamed “wool ly-heads.” HP The Crescent City lias arrrived at New York from Chagress with 400 passengers, and two millions in gold. A specie train was robbed on the Isthmus of one hundred thousand dollars, but all except six thousand dollars was subse quently recovered. (LpTlie trial of Gen. Henderson, accused of being connected with the invading expedition of General Lopez has commenced. O’At Memphis Tenn. the Recorderhas been shot dead by negroes. (O’Dime Cotton from the plantation of 11. F. Baldwin, of Putnam county, Ga., has been sold in Charleston recently at 15 cents, The Great Exhibitiot of 1851—The Em peror of Russia has given $20,000 for the use of the Star and Garter at Richmond, and the Em peror of Austria has taken Mozart’s Hotel for the season. House rents in London are rising enormously, as much £|2 per week being offered for a small house in Clarge’s street. There are reports of most extraordinary contracts in the provision line,one poulterer in the city having arranged for $1,000,000 chickens. We understand that Mr Harrison proposes to establish a “Mechanics’ Home” for 1851, capa ble of affording accommodation for 1000 persons The building which it is proposed to arrange for this purpose is situated in the Ranelagh.road, near the Vauxliilt Bridge, on the Middlesex side of the river, and occupies a space of two acres. A Frigate for the World’s Fair —The Portsmouth (Va ) Pilot of Thursday says: “This morning’s mail from Washington brings us high naval authority for saying that the Government lias determined to send the frigate St. Laurence to London, and that orders were issued on the 31st to have her gun-deck guns taken out, her gun-deck ports well planked and caulked in and the ship prepared without delay for that object. She will not go as a maroef-war, but will retain a part, if not all her spar-deck-guns.” Steam Between Antwerp and New York. Measures are in progress for the organization of a regular steam communication between Ant werp and Now York. The Anziegar Zietung says : “The requisite capital, estimated at £300,- 000, has already been subscribed in England.— A requisition has been sent to all the manufac tures in the Prusian Rhenish provinces to co operate in the undertaking, and to transport their goods and manufactures through this chan, nel. Five new vessels are to he built, and are to be fitted up expressly for emigrants. The success of the enterprise is looked upon as se cure, as the Belgium Government has guaran teed four per cent.” A Cupious Clock. — An ingenious townsman of Dudley is engaged in constructing a very cu rious clock, which is intended for the Great Ex hibition of 1851, its chief peculiarly being the length of time it runs without winding. The clock occupies, in standing, only eight su perficial inches ; the motive power isonly2B lbs, and yet the machinery is so nicely adjusted that jt will take 426 days to rundown. Consequent ly, the second hand will make 613,440 revolu tions, and the balance 147,225,600 vibrations, in the above time. Fa ■ lures in Glasgow.— Glasgow letters hn nounce the failure of Aitkin, Mathie & Cos., iron founders, with liabilities of about £30,000, and assets estimated at £IO,OOO to £13,000; the al. leged cause being speculative purchases of pig iron. Another firm, Rankin, Bmith & Cos., en gaged in the New Y ork trade, had also su-pen ded, with liabilities to the amount of 30,000 or £40,000, believed to have arisen in a great measure from losses on breadstuff's. One or two other firms were named, hut their debts were trifling. Lower California.— The New York Herald states that by the last arrival from California, the editor of that paper has received private des patches of a roost important character, which in duces ibe belief tliat it is, and has been medita. ted, for a Jong time past, by some of the most influential and leading men of that new State, to organize an expedition of Americans, and to proceed to that portion of Mexico known as Lower California, with the view of assisting the people of that Territory, in declaring their in dependence of the central government, and afterwards seeking incorporation with this Re public, in precisely the same manner as the American adventurers in Texas acted. The Herald adds that this intelligence is derived from such sources as place its reliance almost beyond doubt. Reverse, of Fortune. — Mrs. Bell Martin, daughter and heir of Thomas Martin, M.P., of BallinaliinckCastle, county of Galway, in Ireland, recently died in New York, in utmest penury. Five years ago she was the possessor of an income of $25,000 annually,—but ip two years’ time the potato rot, famine, pestilence, the claims of money lenders, and the agency of British laws had reduced her to absolute want. I Remedy for Short Sight.—Dr. Turnbull has discovered a remedy for short sight, which he has communicated to the medical publica tions. The learned doctor thus describes the process:—“ln the first instsnee I applied the extract of ginger, which was rubbed for five o r ten minutes over the whole forehead, with the view of acting upon tho fifth pair of nerves Afterwards I substituted a concentrated tincture of ginger, of the strength of one part of ginger to two parts of of spirit of wine, decolourised by animal charcoal. In many cases it had the ef fect of doubling the length of vision. In some cases I found the iris was not much dilated but torpid. In these cases I applied the concentra ted tincture of pepper made of the same strength, and in the same manner ns the tincture of ginger- This used until I observed that the iris had ob tained a great power of contraction and dilation, after which I had again recourse to the tincture of ginger. This plan of treatment has been at tended with the most signal success, and persona who were extremely short sighted have very soon been enabled to permanently lay aside their concave glasses.” Debt of Texas, —According to the report of the Comptroller and Auditor made by the Legis lature ot Texas at its late extra session, the total ostensible debt of Texas is $6,812,926. German Emigration to Texas. —The Gal* veston Journal says:—“The total number of German immigrants arrived in this city, this sea son, is about seven or eight hundred, and two more vessels from Hamburg, and one from Bre men, are yet eipected. A large portion of those we have seen are of the better classes of Ger mans, and some of them bring a considerable amount of capital with them. An old German gentleman was pointed out to us the other day« as the possessor of $60,000 in hard cash. There are also a number of young men amongst the newly arrived, who have the snug little sum of from five to ten thousand dollars each, to invest in farming. On such beginnings, with the in dustry characteristic of their nation, they are bound to become wealthy and substantial citi* zens.” Mr. Calhoun's Manuscripts. —Tho Legis lature of South Carolina appropriated the sum of ten thousand dollars for the purpose of stereo typing and publishing the two manuscript works of the late John C. Calaoun, comprising a treatise on Government, and a discourse on the Constitution of the United States. Tho act appoints an editor and agent of tho work, who is to retain for the State five hundred copies, and then to place the stereotype plates and the entire proceeds of sales at the disposal of the family of Mr. Calhoun. Arrested. —The Paulding (Miss ) Clarion, says :“W. Mitchell Clark, who put out the eyes of a man by the name of Dodd, about six teen years ago, in Wayne county, passed thro’ Paulding recently, in custody of the proper offL cer*,and has been safely lodged in the jail of Wayne county, Miss., to await his trial at the next Term of the Circuit Court of that county The poor, unfortunate being who was thus de prived of his sight and compelled to grope his way in darkness through the remainder of his life, has been a charge on Wayne county for fifteen years ; and the arrest of Clarke, after the lapse of go long a period, is evidence that justice, although slow, is almost always certain to overtake the wicked in thejr career." Tho law in force at the time of the commis sion of the deed provided no adequate penalty for a crime ofsucli magnitude. Clarke, should he be convicted, will he only subject to a fine of one thousand dollars, and to stand exposed in the pillory for the term of three days. An Excellent Custom. —ln Munich,Germa_ ny, all hoys found in the streets askingalms, are taken to an assy lam established fur ine purpose Soon as they enter the doors, and before having cleaned or their dirty clothes removed, a por trait of each one is taken, representing him in the same form as when found begging. When the portrait is finished, he is cleaned, and pre sented with anew and neat suit of clothes.— After going through a regular course of educa tion appointed by the directors of the asylum, they are put to learn a trade, at which they have earned enough liquidate all their expenses from the day they entered the institution- When this is completed they are dismissed from tfie insli. tution to gain their own livelihood. At the same time the portrait taken when they first en tered, is presemented to them, which they swear hey will preseive as long as they live, in order that they may remember the abject condition from which they have been redeemed, and the oh igations which they are under to the institu tion for having saved them from misery, and giving them the means of feeding themselves for the future. Such an institution might do good in this country. The Storm at the Eastward The Ports mouth Journal says that the floating dry dock at the navy yard at Portsmouth, broke partially from its moorings in the violent storm on Sun day night and Monday last, and that the snow poll to a depth of about fifteen incites. The rail road tram from Portland to jiath, on Monday afternoon, with ten passengers, was interrupted in a snow-drift, two miles beyond Bruswick, and detained there through the night. Verv True. —To make people smart, all that's necessary is to throw them on their own resources. A wild turkey knows more in a moment, than a tame ono would dream of in a year, and all because he has to depend for safe* ty on his own ingenuity rather than on the in. genuity of a farmer. Safety and plenty are the worst friends that genius ever associated with. Go it Boots. —A Mrs. Boots, of Pennsylva. nia, has left her husband, Mr. Boots, anil stray ed to parts unknown. We presume that a pair of Boots are rights and lefts. We cannot say, however, that Mrs. Boots is right; but there is no mistake that Boots is left. A (leaf and dumb child when asked to describe lightning, said it wus the “opening and shutting of God's eye.” Trjckirt and the Tariff —The New Or. leans Courier says: A few weeks since the cotton Lords at Fall River, Massachusetts,com bined together to turn the screw a little tighter, by reducing the wages of the operatives. Many of the workmen and women opposed this reduc tion of their wages and refused to work. By the last accounts we peicieve that capital has conquered labor, and that those who turned out have been compelled to resume their work a t the reduced prices, and the owners are chuckt ling that “their factories are in operation again.” This is one of the mean devices resorted to, to swindle the working man. The manufactur ers raise a concerted cry about low duties, and foreign competition, blame the Government for not protecting them, and then suddenly stop, throwing their operatives out of employ inent.— 1 liese poor people never receieve more than enough to keep soul and body together ; they work virtually for hoard and lodging; tliev sel dom Or never accumlate ; they are, iq fact, in a state ot quasi-slavery, and when out of em ployment, of absolute suffering. When the man ufacturer has reduced them to a starving point, he says: “I sympathise with you, we will put our looms iu operation again, but I cannot afford to pay the former wages; the rate must bo re duced.” What can the operatives say ? They have no roof over their heads but the cottages attach ed to tho mill, where they have no right to re main but as laborers ; they have no money to remove elsewhere-} there are no public lands to settlo upon rent-free; they get no employment at another mill without credentails from their present employer; they see their wives dejected; their children suffering lor bread, and are forced to accept the reduced wages proposed to them. And then the mill drives on again—merrily sing the spindles—fast flies the snowy lint—hale af ter bale ol “Lowels” is shipped away the manufacturer grows rich end richer every day upon the tears and wretchedness and wearing labor ol his white fellow citizen,a freeman him. self, cast in as fine a mould, with a nobler heart hut cursed with poverty and thus compelled to crouch. Southern Manufacturers.— Tho Fhiladel. phia Evening Bulletin, remarking on the capa city of the Southern Slates for manufacturing collnn goods, says : “Labor can he had cheaper there, water power is plentiful, and the fabric grows at tho floor ; there is no reason, therefore, why the South should not rival, and even out strip New England in manufacturing. More than one shrewd Northern capitalist, has already begun to invest largely at the South. In twenty years, when practice shall have placed the two ■ectionson a fairer footing as to skill, the South will be able to undersell the North in a)I cotton fabrics.’ 1 HE Reason Why —The New York Tribune explains the reason why it and its politico-Abo lition friends ‘'acquiesce,” for tho present, in the “peace measures.’’ The cry of the compro misers that the bill will not be repealed, and iliat therefore “our Northern friends,” are actu ated by a returning sense of justice, is all rigma role—and they know it, as well as Senator Sew ard or the Iribunedo The Tribune says : “It is tho truth that the Fugitive slave law is obnotious here, whenever it is attempted to be enforced, (as General Cass and his friend Buel can bear witness,) and that, if the South were to really hunt up and arrest even half the fugitives now living in the free States, not twen ty members would be chosen from all the free Slates, not positively pledged to vote for that law’i repeal. So long as it is rarely enforced, its existence may be endured, and no longe.r” Heavy Forgery.— A heavy forgery was de tects in the Phoinix Bank, Hartford, a short time mice. Thu Tunes says ihe forged paper amounted to upwards of SIO,OOO, arid was in doiaol in good faith by Mr. Allen, of Middle, town, who must be the Riifferer. He probably purclased the paper, which has proved bad. Ihe totes originated in New York. We are informed, adds the Times, that ono Towner, who forged paper to tho amount of fifteat thousand dollars, lately found in the PhYt. pix lank of Hartford, has recently tnado some bold operations in Boston. He forged a note for eight hundred dollars on Ives, Hooker & Cos., Harford, and endorsed it in tho name of D. F. Robinson, and deposited it in the New England Banl, Boston, lie then procured a telegraphic envelope and accompanying blank letter sheet, and wrote a “dispatch” from New York to Mat. tliev BoJles, a broker of Boston, sipning the dis pute 1 Spear, (Bolles’ N. York correspondent.) It was in substance as follows : “Matthew Bolles.—Take up the note of eigls hundred dollars In New England Bank, sigred Ives, Hoaker &. Cos., and endorsed by D. F. tobinson. SPEAR.” Nr. Bolles, on receiving this dispatch, at oniß sent to the Bank and took up the note; the muicy was placed to Towner’s credit. Town er then called on Bolles, and by a well.told stoiy succeeded in borrowing fivo hundred dol. lars more ; making thirteen hundred dollars tratsfeired from Bolles' pocket to his own in ihecourse of a few hours. Towner then forged anrther note for six hundred dollars, and by re* peNing the telegraphic operation got E. W. Cl.rke, Dodge & Cos., to take it up, he pock etirg the cash. It was not long, of course, be fort he was missing, with nineteen hundred dol larsin cash, procured by forgery, impudence andadroit management. ti®k"Mons. Edmond Lafayette arrived in Savannah a few weeks since, and during his short sojourn in the city, visited the spot where the French attack was made undir Couut D’Estaiug, at the siege of Savtnnah.

Lafayette afte'remaining a day or two,left for Florida, to examine the township of land presented by Congress to his grandfather. ITEMS. lO™ Gambling is said to pervade a mong the laboring classes of Cincinnati to a terrible degree. Efforts are being made to check the vice. Niagara Falls Iris says a por tion of the rock at the Horse Shoe Fall, on the Canabaside, fell with a tremendous ’crash some time since. The Iris says it seems “providential that it fell at this season of the year ; for it is precisely the spot where so many contiunally passed to behold the waters of the cataract rushing i terrifically over their heads, that is now filled with the huge masses of rock w hich have fallen.” The appearance of the Falls is said to be not in the least im paired. 63™ The names ofone hundred return ed Calforniatis are appended to a lengthy article in the New Orleans Delta, caution ing adventurers after gold to be eatiafied ( that mineteen in every twenty will bring away with them from the mines, less than they started with.

JO™ It is said that Capt. Eiricson is engaged in producing a steam Carriage sot use upon plank roads, by which im mense laods may be transported at a good speed. Fifteen years ago, many attempts were made in England to pro duce a steam cariiage suitable to use on common roads, but no experiment result ed profitably. Either the expense of the power, or the softness of the roads prevent ed the practical introduction of the ma chines, though many successful steam jourtries were performed. There seems to he no good reason why steam power can not be successfully used on our plank roads and we have no doubt it soon will be. resolution has been introduced in the Legislature of Kestucky, in favor of an appropriation of SSOO to Mr. Barlow, to enable him to convey his Planetarium tothe world’s convention, at London.

Tut Right of Secession.— The Southern Pres* save the Louisville Journal has contained several articles denying the right of Secession, but admitting the right of Revolution. When Mr. Webster was pressed l>y Mr. Hatxe and Mr. Calhoun to explain what was meant by the right reserved by several States to resume the powers they had granted to the Federal Govern ment—what was meant by the right asserted in the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions of ’9B< for the Stales to interpose against Federal usur pation—what was meant in the Declaration of Independence, when it asserted the right of a people to alter or abolish their governments at 1 pleasure—he said it was the right of Revolution which he admitted also. This was simply a retreat into a high sounding phraso which meant nothing, for it is a contra diction of terms. There in no such thing as a right of Revolution. A Revolution is a mere trial of strength, in which might and not right decides. According Iq Mr. Webster, a State has a right to resist, if she thinks herself op pressed, hut the oppressor has the right of resist ing her resistance. The Declaration asserted tho right of a people to ulter or abolish Govern ments at pleasure. It asserted that right for these Colonies, and consequently l|ie attempt of Great Britain to resist that light was a wrong.— Mr. Webster meant the right of might. The Declaration of Independence meant no such thing, for if it had, it would have been a defence of tho British forces us much as of our own. MACON MARKET, JAN. 11.
