In this simple statement of the present position of the Cal
ifornia question, we purposely omit any comment upon the in
consistency of those, who, year before last, advocated the doc
trine that the people of the territories had the right, on form
ing a State government, to determine the question of slave
ry f or themselves. This the people of California have done,
and although there has been some irregularity in the proceed
ing, and some “ hot-haste” in getting up a State without a
territorial probation, yet we do not see how the difficulty can
now be remedied, or why a doctrine which was sound in
IS4B, should be discarded in 1850 as unsound ! For our
selves. we cannot thus sacrifice principle on the altar of polit
ical expediency. True, as a Southern man, we grieve over
the result which circumstances have brought about in refer
ence to California. We would prefer that she came into the
confederacy as a slave State, but, if that inheritance is lost to
us. by our supinencss and want of energy in peopling the ter
ritory. the event will not justify our abandonment of princi
ples which we believe to-be immutable and eternal.
The way to got redress.— a s a constitutional and
peaceable mode of obtaining “ indemnity for the past and se
curity for the future,” which the South has power to enforce
against the North, we know of none that promises better re
sults than that proposed in part by Gov. Floyd, of Virginia—
to wit, an interdiction of trade with such States as will not
stand up. squarely, to the compromises anil guaranties of the
Constitution. Each State has the power to regulate its own
system of taxation and police. Let then the public mind be
brought to bear upon this subject. The message of Gov.
Floyd to the Virginia Legislature, communicating the fact
that “Ohio liad refused to deliver up a free colored man, a
fugitive from justice,” concluded thus :
“ A concerted and uniform action on the part of the South
in this matter, will either redress our grievances an once, or
transfer the direct European trade to the Southern ports, or
build up manufactories of all sorts in our country, which
would ultimarely tend greatly to our strength and indepen
dence.
“ We now tax a tin pedlar ten dollars a year, whilst a clock
pedlar has to pay fifty. The venders of all articles manu
factured in the recusant States could he taxed one hundred
percent., and the vender be required to show where the arti
cles were made. Pains and penalties could be easily attach
ed to any evasion of the law, which would insure the due
enforcement of it. The details could be made to embrace
live stock and the products of the soil.”
A plan of this sort, carried out in the spirit of ’76, (when
the foreign Tea was thrown overboard, in Boston harbour,
and “ yarb teas” substituted in lieu thereof, hy all the house
wives of the country, rather than submit to agression,) would
sooner bring Northern fanatics to their senses than any thing
else. Touch the pocket-nerve of Yankeedoodledom , if you !
wish it to understand your power or force it to respect your
rights !
The Titailel Surrendered !—The Macon “Tele
graph” of Tuesday last, in a paragraph, rallying the people to
the polls, on that day, closes thus
“ The man that would surrender the out posts of the Cit
adel hy refusing to vote to-day. cannot be relied on, to give bat
tle when the enemy are within the walls.”
The result of the election for 1 Jelegates to the Nashville I
Convention, in Bibb county, shows that not one twentieth
part of the voters of the county cared any thing about the
“ Citadel,” and are therefore unreliable when the enemy ar
rives within the gates, according to the foregoing 1 Only
about 76 votes were polled hereon Tuesday, at said election !
Think of that. Master Brooke ! Methinks it is a sorry cause j
that cannot muster more troops, and that tin), on a regular j
Sale day of the County 1 Such a tesr of reliability, in
the hour of danger, is therefore inadmissible.
Important dSail Arrangement.
From an official announcement in the E lfaula Democrat,
we learn that anew mail route lias been established, com
mencing on the 1 st inst., and to run tri-weekly, between Trav
eler's Rest , Ga., ami Eufaula , Ala., and bu k, in four-horse
post coaches. This will be a great convenience to tin people
living oil the line of the new route, who have, heretofore, been
almost shut out from ordinary mail facilities. The post offices,
in Georgia, to be supplied, are I Limburg. Pond Town, Friend
ship, Lannahassce, Richland. Lumpkin, and Georgetown.
If the people of Randolph and Early Counties will now ob
tain an intersection <>f their Columbus Mail with this route
at Lumpkin, they will be placed much more in direct com- !
munication with Macon and points eastward, than heretofore.
All the alteration necessary is to have the present Friday's i
mail from Columbus, so changed, as to leave Columbus Friday
evening or Saturday morning, in time to meet the Macon
mail at Lumpkin on Saturday forenoon. By this slight change,
news can be received at Cuthbert and Ft. Gaines, three days
earlier than by the present arrangement from Columbus.
For example Let important intelligence be received in Ma
con Thursday evening, and forwarded by Friday morning’s
mail to Travellers Rest. Thence it will bo taken to Lumpkin
early on Saturday morning, and to Eufaula, by noon, of same
day. By the intersection of the mail from Columbus at Lump
kill, at 9 o'clock, Saturday, the same news would reach Cuth
bert Saturday afternoon and Fort Fames same night; where
as, by the present arrangement, it would be Tuesday night
following, before the same intelligence would reach Cuthbert!
We doubt not. that on proper representations, by petition, be
ing made to S. il. llobbie, Esq., Ist Dist. P. M. General,
from the south-western comities mentioned, he will see lit to
make the change, especially as it will not injuriously effect
any other interests.

MMlakin’s American Courier. —We welcome
this magnificent sheet to our Exchange table, with more plea
sure, from the deprivation, we have lately experienced, of its
accustomed visitation. It were superfluous praise for us to
speak, even extravagantly, of a paper so universally known
and so highly appreciated as is the “ Model Courier.” W e
will mention, however, one feature of the present year’s pub
lication, which specially commends the Courier to public pat
ronage, and that is the series of 20 Original Nouvcllcttes by
the best authors, which Mr. M'Makin has pledged himself to
give in volume XX of his paper, which commenced March
9th. No. lof this series is a Tale from the pen of Mrs. C.
L. I lent - /., of Columbus, which is so highly valued by Mr.
M'Makin that lie has restrained others from publishing it, by
a writ of injunction, called a “ Copy Right.” Those, there
fore, who desire to read this Nouvedette, in an honest way,
must subscribe for the Courier. Price $2 per annum.
“ Horn of Mirth,” &c.—a neat little sheet of tins

Scarcity of Wagons.— The complaints mentioned
by our Columbus correspondent as to the delay of goods, at
the Macon Depot of the Central Rail Road, should not, we
apprehend, be charged upon the Agent at this place. He
probably does all that is possible to be done, under the circum
stances, to expedite the transportation of goods to the interior,
but when it is known that there are not wagons enough to
he had, to remove one tenth part of the merchandize which
has accumulated at this Depot, it would be unjust to hold the
Rail Road or its Agents responsible for the vexatious delays
which have occurred. It is worthy of consideration, however,
whether the Company cannot remove the evil, by providing
sufficient teams of their own to meet the emergency, or hold
out sufficient inducement to others to embark in the business
of transportation from this [dace. By advertising for teams
and offering advanced rates of freight, (say $1,50 per hun-
dred to Columbus,) during the season of pressure, we should
suppose that the cause of complaint could be removed.
Millinery . —The attention of the Ladies is invited to the
New “Millinery goods’’ of Mrs. Damour, advertised in to
day’s paper. M e know not, whether Mrs. D.. lias the Spring
Bonnet, so well described by the Editor of the N. Y. “Day
Book,” in the following extract, but presume she will not fail
to supply herself with so pretty an article. Says the Day
Book:
‘•Let us pay a passing compliment to the new Spring Bon
net, which, with the greening beach buds, is just venturing
lorth into the light. Like the buds, it is of delicate, tender
green, with the faintest suspicion of crimson glowing here
and there upon its silken surlace. Like a beautiful mouth,
it is neither too large nor too small, and like a girl passing
the sweet printerns de la vie, it becomes a woman marvel
fully daguerreotyped in our memory—as, sooth to say, so we
have the face of the wearer—glides from beneath our pen
point when we would describe it, and eludes our words. It
will be speedily reproduced in myriads of fair resemblances,
e\en as the first bud when it wakes from its winter dreams
finds itself reflected on every swinging spray.”

The Floyd House,—This well-known house, which,
for the last eight months, has been under the management of
Messrs. Bus >rd & \\ illiams, still maintains its position, as one
of the most extensive, centrally situated and well kept Hotels
in the Southern Country. Mr. B. is an old merchant and has
tlierciore acquired, by travelling and seeing the manner in
whicn first class Hotels are kept at the North, the requisite
knowledge for the business in which he is engaged ; and those
” ho have called at the Floyd 1 louse, since it has been under his
superintendence can testify to the skill and taste with which
he conducts lus extensive establishment.
Oglethorpe.-- A second sale of Lota in this new town,
west of Flint River, will take place on the 17th inst. From
all accounts, and we have taken some pains to get accurate
information of its prospects, from disinterested sources, we
are inclined to believe, that Oglethorge will, in a very short
time, be a place of considerable trade and importance. It
will be the terminus of the Southwestern Ilail Road, perhaps,
for years, and cannot therefore fail to improve rapidly. By
the Ist of January next, or sooner, the Rail Road will be in j
operation to that point, and of course, will tend to concentrate 1
there, from tlie southwestern counties, a large amount of the
next crop of Cotton. Those who desire a safe investment
should therefore see to it, that the present favorable opportu
nity does not pass unimproved.
Baiwrnn-Mrziww^
Physiology and Prenology,—Dr. Crane, whose
ability, we have had occasion to witness and record, in a neigh
boring city, is now in Macon, engaged in lecturing upon his
favorite and sublime science of Phrenology. He delivered
his introductory on Monday evening and lectured again last
evening, to respectable audiences. After bis lectures, he
made some practical examinations of the craniologieal devel
opments of several persons selected by a committee, and gave
an opinion of their characters, which corresponded, closely, ;
to that sustained by these gentlemen, among their acquaintan- j
c, s. \\ e hope that 1 )r. C. will so interest the citizens of Ma- j
con, in the important science of the Human Mind, on its only j
true basis—that of Physiology and Phrenology—as to secure
a large class for his proposed Course of Lectures in this city. I
I he Professor, is, we think, altogether capable to do the sub
ject, to which he is devoted, ample justice, bringing as he does \
to the noble task of mental and moral improvement, with which
he lias charged himself, much experience and observation, to
gether with not a little of that ardor of enthusiasm which is
soessent alan element of success in all great undertakings.
Convicted.--1 >r. Webster, who has been on trial, at !
Boston, for 10 days previous, to the Ist inst., for the murder of
Dr. Parkman, lias been convicted. The Jury retired on Sat
urday evening last, and, after three hours deliberation, re
turned with a verdict of “ murder in the first degree.” We
have read the testimony in this trial, and a stronger array of ;
circumstantial evidence, in our opinion, was never presented :
to a jury. Hanging by the neck, “ until he is dead—dead—
dead,” will doubtless, be the just doom of the murderer.

Practice against Theory,—We see it stated ill the
papers that about sixty-two young men from Virginia liave re
cently graduated at tlie Jefferson University, Philadelphia.—
Probably more than double that number have graduated at
the other schools in that city. Virginia, we suspect, spends
about SIOO,OOO a year for medical education in Philadelphia
alone. There are medical schools in Virginia where young
men can be better qualified for practice in the South than any
in the North, where they know nothing of Southern diseases.
Under these circumstances it fills us with shame and hu
miliation to see Southern parents sending their children to
Northern schools. Where is their State pride? Where is
their love of the South ? Where is their regard for their so
cial system, when they pour their [latronage in streams upon
those who every day vilify and abuse them and their institu
tions.
Never did the world see a greater contrast than between
Southern Theory and Southern Practice. And yet it is in
Southern Practice alone that redress can be found for South
ern Rights. Encourage your own and depend upon your
selves. That is the only bulwark of State Rights to which the
South can look with a particle of confidence. We solemnly
believe that if the Southern States of the Union finally suc
cumb to their adversaries, the fault will be their own. In
stead of making themselves strong by self-dependence, they
absolutely furnish their enemies with the “sinews of war” in
immense annual sums to be used in nourishing our revilers,
and increasing their ability ultimately to bind us hand and
foot. Oh, folly ! Oh, madness ‘.— Richmond Republican.
Georgia.—Her Factories and Railroads.—The Bal
timore American says,:—“ Within the last ten or dozen years,
the State of Georgia has been devoting her attention and
means to the devclopement of her internal resources with a
zeal and judgment that have been crowned with very prospe
rous results. Factories and workshops have been brought
into operation in rapid succession, giving new and diversified
employments to her people and affording profitable returns on
the invested capital. She was the first cotton growing State
to begin the experiment of working up her own great staple
at home, and her example, there is no doubt, will, in due
time, be followed by all the rest. Her Rail Roads, too, are
well managed works, which will compare favorably with
those of any other State for utility and profitable returns.”

Dead.—Capt. John L. Swinney, of Savannah, died in
city, on the Ist :11st. The Republic n thus notices his death:
’’ The deceased was a native of Hancock county, in this
Slate, whence he came to this city some eight years ago,
since which time he has been engaged in the commission
business. Capt. Swinney was in Florida with Gen. Scott
during the Seminole war, wheTe lie commanded the Hancock
troop. Ile was a man of integrity, an upright merchant, and
has left many friends to mourn his unexpected death.”
Georgia is sound to the core, from the seaboard to the moun
tains.—Columbus Times.
It is our whim to differ with you, Mr. Times. The Slate
is solid—it is the new light “ organs” that are sound—oil
sound.—Cassville Standard.

sound indeed! “ Vox ct praiterea nihil ” —Sound and

or
I will give SSOO to any one who will produce a wheel of any sort or
kind patented or not, that will combine to the same extent, cheapness

SI RGICAL OPERATIONS.
DR. JAMES WEAVER. (Memphis Tenn.) proposes to perform all
Surgical Operations of every description, and is well prepared
with all necessary instruments to perform every description of opera
tion that is performed in any of the northern cities. He operates suc
cessfully on all affections of the eye, as well as all other cases, and
will insure a cure in all cases of cross-eye, (strabismus') and will guar
antee success in every case of Club or Reel-Foot, (loiarthrus) or con
tracted tendons in any portion of the system causing deformity.
Testimonial.—The following is given as one of many certificates of
successful operation which have been furnished Professor \\ caver
by his patients.
rr ni the Memphis Enquirer, Jan. 30th 1850.
Club or Reel Foot Cured.
Mr. Editor—Dear Sir: Please publish the following case in your
valuable periodical, that those who may be laboring under a similar
deformity may know where to obtain relief. My feet were both reel
ed or clubbed from birth, the toes turned inwards, the bottoms turned
backwards, and the tops forward, which threw me on the outside of my
feet, on which I walked up to the time of the operation. There was
a large lump on the outside of each foot, where I rested the weight of
my body in walking. I applied to Professor James Weaver, of Mem
phis, Tenn. who is distinguished for his surgical skill, and on the 28th
day from the time of the operation, he put straight shoes on my feet,
they being straight before me and flat on the bottoms. I can now
walk on them very well and am improving daily and expect in a short
time to run and jump equal to any neiglil-or. There is no pain atten
ding the operation but what can be easily stood by any one, and dur
ing the whole operation there is scarcely any blood lost, and no sores
or inflamation, as most persons might suppose. There is hardly any
sum that would induce me to exchange my straight feet for the crook
ed ones 1 had six weeks ago. I would advise all persons who are la
boring under that deformity, to call on Dr. Weaver, who will cure
them with certainty.

entered this Institution since it was organized, in 1817. It ia entire
ly free from the control or domination of any sect or party, either po
litical or religious. Economy in dress, by the adoption of & cheap
Uniform, for Winter and Summer, is rigidly enforced. Every student
is required to select a College guardian, with whom all funds brought
or received must be deposited, and no debt must be contracted without
the consent of such guardian.
An Institution combining the science ofthe West Point Academy
and of Polytechnic Institutes, with the classical literature of our best
Colleges, adding the modern languages, and superadding- practical
schools of Law and Engineering, nearly realizes the long-felt desper
ation of a university able to meet the wants of Western progress—a
university where all may select a course of steady to suit their time,
means ond professional destination.
Mr. Davikss, the Professor of Law, is known is the various
Courts as a practitioner of great ability, varied learning, long experi

some exercise and discipline of the Institute, and the convenient ob.
servation of the forms of judicial proceeding, offer unusual indue*,
meats to those w ho 3re earnest to achieve distinction as sound Lawyers
CIVIL ENGINEERING
W ill be thoroughly and practically taught in the Western Military In
stitute—the Professor, (Jol. Moroxn, being one of the most skillful and
experienced Engineers in the United States. All the instruments con
nected with that department, have been procured at considerable cost,
and are of the best quality.
The Superintendent takes the liberty of slating that he is r.ow often
ed $75 per month, forcompetant ass-stmt Engineers. One of his for
tner pupils receives at tins lime 82,500 per annum, as Principal En
gineer of a Railroad now under construction in Kentucky—w hilst
others ofthe same class are receiving in different parts of the United
States, 82.000, 81,500, or $1,200 a year as Assistant Engineers.
The time is rapidly approaching when there will be a great demand
for such as have been [ire pared for that vocation, at the Western Mil
itary Institute. Nothing is hazarded in saying that they will readily
command $1,200 or $ 1,500 per annum. Every man of observation
must see that the gigantic enterprises already proposed, will give birth
to hundreds of others, tributary to toem. The rapid advancement of
onr whole country, and the eagerness of our people, for exploring th
hidden resources of the new States and the newly acquired territory,
will give ample scope for ages to come, to the skill and enterprise of
the Engineer, the Geologist, the Mineralogist, the Surveyor and the
Architect. Young men who have an apt fade for the Mathematical
and Physical sciences w ill have a wide field opened to them for enga
ging in an honorable, a healthful and a lucrative pursuit, for which
they may be thoroughly and practically qualified, in a short nine, and
at small expense, at the Western Military Institute.

PHQSFEDTUS
OF THE
mm
The undersigned, late Editor of the “Muscogee Demo
crat,” Columbus, Ga. begs leave to present to the public
the following programme of his plan he lias marked out, in
the publication of the “Georgia Citizen” :
Ist. II is inotto will be—■“ Independent in all things,
neutral in nothing .” This is indicative of the position
which the Editor designs to take in relation to men, princi
ples and measures—a position abate the influence of party
or sect , and which will reserve to himself the largest liberty
ut speech and most unrestrained latitude of criticism upon all
matters, moral, social and political, which may pass in review
before him, as a public Journalist.
2d. As the name imports, the Editor's aim will be to do
velope the resources of Georgia and advance the interests of
her people in the pathway of true greatness and prosperity.
Under this head, the agricultural and mineral capabilities of
the state —its commercial facilities—its varied industrial pur
suits, and the educational enlightenment of every class of
its citizens, will be embraced, as leading objects of concern
ment.
3d. The ‘‘Georgia Citizen” will be the foe of monopoly
and exclusive privilege, in their every phrase and feature,
and the special friend of honest industry of bead and hand.—
While “every form of tyranny over the mind of man* ’ will
be strenuously opposed, tho “Citizen” will ever be found en
forcing the constitutional requirements of toleration towards
ever}’ shade of opinion which may be entertained “for con
science’ sake,” and defending the rights of the humblest from
abuse or infringement.
4th. The “Citizen” will contain a weekly transcript of
the current news of the day, gleaned w ith care from every a
vailable source, foreign and domestic. Under thi* head the
Editor will introduce anew and interesting feature—that o
special correspondence from the prominent cities of the
State and Union, in which a'l that is rich in incident and
racy in thought, will be garnered, weekly, for the reader’*
information and amusement.
sth. The “Citizen” will have its literary Department,
where w ill be found the gem of poetic inspiration and the
choice excerpts of a chaste and instructive Miscellany, togeth
er with original contributions from some of our most gifted
writers.
Cth. There will be a Department of Science, Art and
Domestic Economy, in which usefed foots and improvement*
will be recorded, for the benelit of the artizan, tho he use wife
and the man of Science.
7th. A corner will be devoted to the passing facetiae of
the age, in which will be preserved the piquant anecdote,
the lively bon-mot and sententious epigram, together with
the quirks and comicalities of those who are, by nature, Sons
ot Moinus—or the laughing Philosophers of the times.
From the Editor’s experience in the business of Newspa
per publication —his new and central position—and his thor
ough appreciation of the wants of the reading pubbe, he flat
ters himself that he will be able to make the “Georgia Citi
izen” a welcome visitor to the fireside of every denizen of
our noble old Commonwealth. At least, he will enter upon
the work, with a just sense of the magnitude of the task be
fore him, and with an ardor of zeal and energy in the honor
able vocation, which shall know no abatement until success
be won, or failure inevitable.
