Mr. B. is a \ irgiuian, by birth, but is now a citizen of Alabama. Pub lic attention was first called to his Novelty in Bridge Archi tecture, from the peculiar circumstances under which he ob tained permission, in 1846, to build one of his Bridges over a small lake within the enclosure of the ‘‘Royal Surrey Zoological Gardens,” London, and his final triumph over all obstacles in the construction of the same, whereby he obtained the most honorable distinction from men of science and ge nius. in England. Well, this same yankee genius, (we use the word in its national sense,) after building other bridges on the estates of the nobility of that country, and having them tested by that most satisfactory of all trials—constant use by multitudes of foot passengers and heavily laden cars ot burden—has returned home and is now engaged in the construction of one his bridges at Montgomery, Al. This Bridge is nearly built—is 400 feet in length and is capable <>t sustaining 2000 Tons! The stringers or longitudinal sup porters are twelve in number, each twelve inches wide—ly ing parallel to each other and being only seven inches thick at the ends and three in the centre! The length of stringers is obtained by a joint of peculiar structure cemented with the same kind of glue used in ship building, called marine glue. When completed, this bridge will be tested for the purpose of showing its superiority over other bridges for Railroad and other purposes, both as to durability and economy, the cost varying from one half to one tenth of ordinary bridge struc tures, according to the length, the longest being the cheapest. Mr. Remington thus describes the principle of this bridge : “ The great principle sought to be proved in this bridge : (says Mr. It.) is that a beam of timber, of whatever size, shape j r length, lying horiz mtally, and resting at each extremity • on abutments, is as strong and will require as much weight on the top of it to break it, as it would take to break the same piece when pulled longitudinally in the direction of the fibre. In other words, the “principle consists in the longitudinal power of timber being applied in a curved line or form, by which every portion of the material is brought at once into play and supports an equal share of the strain.” dP model of this extraordinary bridge is nowon exhibition at the Floyd House in this city. The stringers, three in number, are only one inch square at the abutment and three eights of an inch in the middle and are able to support a weight of two tons! Mr. .T. Beattie, Jr., the gentlemanly agent of Mr. .emington is present to give all necessary in formation as io the capabilities and other peculiarities of the pinciple an l its application to other purposes besides bridge building, such as spring lathes for Beds, sofas, ship and steamboat Berths, Rail Road ear scats, Ac. Mr. Beattie gave a very interesting Lecture, last evening, at the Floyd House, in explanation of the principle of the Rem ington Bridge, interspersed with brief sketches in the life and early history of the Ifivcntor, whose genius is universal—he having invented over 100 machines and novelties, forty of which he has patented, and some of which are of great prac tical utility. All interested in the triumphs of American genius and enterprise should call and view these models before their re moval from the city. See advertisements. Self Condemnation.- -The Columbus Times thus speaks of those who oppose the Nashville Convention : “We distrust the man, and count him a knave or a fool, who tells the Southern people, they should resist whenever the Wilmot Proviso is passed by Congress and yet, tells them it is all right, that California should come in, and the rest of the Territories take the same course, under the Executive plan. We distrust him, because the two things are almost identical; and the difference is in favor of the Proviso—for that is a direct and manly assault on Southern rights, and the other is the same deprivation of them, in an insidious, in direct and fraudulent form. Robbery is robbery, whether perpetrated in the face of day, by the bold highwayman, or in the dead of night by the cowardly thief.” If we recollect arc h?, this same Journal was loud in support of the late President IV.k, when the latter permitted this “Wilmot Proviso” to be attached to the Oregon Bill! It was then, all right, but now he is a “knave or fool” who believes that the people of California have the right to introduce this Proviso into their Contitution! The latter is insidious rob ber y,” while the former (the Wilmot Proviso) is a “ direct aud manly assault.” This appears to us to be a “ tweedle deeand tweedje-dum” affair, decide d'y, say nothing of the grave admission of “ knavery and folly” which the “Times” has thereby fastened upon itself. Any one, however, with half an/eye open, ean readily see that the admission of California is an altogether different matter from the attach ment of the Wilmot Proviso to the Oregon Bill. The latter was the act of the President and Congress, the former that of die sovereign people of California, in convention assembled. Besides, the Californians only carried out the democratic doc trine of 1848, which the “ Times” advocated when it sup ported Gen. Cass for the Presidency ! If “Jim Crow” ever made a bigger jump than this, in all his circumambualtory gym nastics, we ltave never heard of the extraordinary perform ance. THE TRUTH. Me take the following extract from the Mobile Herald. It is the truth, every word. We commend it to the considera tion of the real friends of the South, the constitution and the Union. “ The greatest enemies to the South now are the freesoil papers of the South. Turn them into tho rivers adjacent to their offices of publication, and we could soon extort from the North all that justice and the constitution demand. The truth is from the beginning, the apparent disunion in the South is mainly attributable to these pestilential and mis erable “organs,” which, under the hypocritical guise of meek ness, Pty n,) thing but the most discordant tunes. Let the South control her own press, and within a twelve ■ loiith there will be among us a degree of unanimity which shall have no example any where in all the chronicles of na tions. There is every thing among us to produce this condi tion, and the only obstacles to it is in the dangerous enemies we nurse and feed at our own hearthstones.” The above article is copied into the last “ Telegraph” of this’city, with a purpose as palpable as the flat foot of a Con go African ! It is the wish, doubtless, of the Mobile Tribune aud its endorsers, to fan a flame of popular excitment against every press which is bold enough to speak of the Nashville Convention, as a measure of doubtful expediency. If all such presses were “ turned into the rivers adjacent to their offices of publication,” there would, of course, be more room for the Disunionists ! Comment on such language and such persu sivesto mob-law violence, is perhaps, needless. M*e would, however, merely hint to these gentlemen, that perhaps they had better count their hosts, carefully, before they enter upon such a crusade against their opponents. Judging from the re turns of the recent election in wealthy slave-holding counties of this commonwealth, we would not be surprised if the num ber of such “ Freesoilers” should have “ Legion” for their name, if opposition to the Nashville Convention makes them so. That's all! Declining the Honor. Judge Scarborough, the Whig Delegate to the Nashville Convention,from the 3d District and Col. A. K. Moore, his alternate, have both declined the honor intended to be con ferred upon them, by the late District Convention which con vened at Forsyth. Judge Scarborough thus expresses his views upon the question: “ The selection of myself as a candidate, is, and was wholly unexpected and unsought by me. I candidly confess, I feel under great obligation to my friends for this manifestation of their confidence. lam however constrained to decline the honor intended to Ik* conferred. Professional obligations, the discharge of which conflicts with the possibility of my being at Nashville at the appointed time, is a sufficient rea son why I cannot accept, if there were no others. But can dor, sincerity and honor, compel me to say that I regard the movement now making towards the Nashville Convention, premature, unwise and injurious to the objects and aim, doubtless intended to be achieved by it. There is now every reason to believe that the South will receive justice from our Northern brethren. That such an adjustment of the great exciting causes of difierences, heretofore existing between the North and the South, as the South will accept, and preserve her rights, her honor, and the interests of her people, will bo made during the present session of Congress.” ******* “ It was a received doctrine and creed, in the Democratic party during the late Presidential campain, that the people of a territory had a right to settle upon and establish their own organic law, when they got ready to make application for ad mission as a State. Gen. Cuss, if I mistake not, even went so far as to assert that the people of California, while in a Ter ritorial capacity , were invested with the attributes of sove reignty. lie ftceived the ardent support of the Democratic party of Georgia, and the South. But. gentlemen, as I was ‘ selected as a candidate on the part of the M’higs,’ I cannot accept for the reason, I do not believe any considerable por tion of the Mliigs of the third Congressional District, favor theprojKsed Nashville Convention. I make this statement with great resjiect for, and in deference to the Forsyth Con vention, and especially to my M'hig friends, participating in its deliberations. I know not a dozen men in Twiggs, my residence, of any party, who manifest any interest in the Nash ville Convention. Nor do I know any man that believes the Union will do dissolved. “So far as my humble opinion is concerned, I have an abiding confidence in the preservation of the Union. A con fidence that there is now going on in the North, a powerful reaction in the public mind, favorable to the rights, interests and honor of the South. Then let ns cherish better feelings towards our heretofore oppressors. They are now repenting of their injustice to us are making offers of redress of griev ances and conciliation, and under these circumstances, I can not but regard the contemplated Convention, at Nashville as portentous of evil. lam as ready to resist as any man, when ever resistance is demanded, as set forth in this letter.— W ith a lively hope and belief, that the JSouth will receive jus- . tiee at tin* hands of Congress, and a sincere dwr* f..r ....n. ; tinuance of the union of these States forever, a high person- j til regard and good wishes for the members for the members ; of the Convention, whose organ you are, and for yourselves, j gentlemen, I have the honor to he your obedient servant. j JAMES J. SCARBOROUGH.” Col. Moore replies as follows: “ In reply, gentlemen. I have to say, that until recently, 1 l was disposed to believe that the entire South w ould be mi- ! der the necessity of resorting to determined and stubborn ; measures of redress and relief from the wrongs already in- | dieted, and against the oppressive, dangerous and uneonsti- j tutional legislation anticipated from Congress, in relation to Southern rights, security and interests. And I am free to declare, that were I now eertain that no redress or remedy, for the evils we have suffered by the action of some of the Northern States, would be provided, and that the wrongs an ticipated, would be committed by Congress, I would be ready and would not hesitate to go to any extremity of resistance, by all the means in my power, to prevent the consequences. M'hen the Constitution and all its restrictions and prohibitions, intended to protect the reserved rights of the people, and of the States, shall be trampled under foot and disregarded by those sworn to preserve the sacred instrument inviolate, it w ill be useless to talk for a moment, about the value of the Union, the power of which, though intended to establish justice, en sure domestic tranquility, promote the gencncral welfare, and secure liberty to ourselves and posterity, shall be used to de stroy all the rights it intends to secure. I believe there is no treason in resisting oppression and injustice; and that without exhausting arguments upon those who determine an aggressive course, every people should be always ready not only to stand by, but to use their arms in defence of their rights. In such an extremity as I have allu ded to, no rallying voice would lie necessary to arouse the people of the South to action, and self-defence. They would uncalled, move unanimously, promptly to their posts. But still, I must take the liberty of saying that, unless and until the people of the South have reason to believe, and do believe, that, such an extremity has arrived, and prepared generally, for action, I am constrained to believe we cannot expect such unanimity of purpose and determinatiou out of a convention, or in one, or through the the recommendation, or suggestion of one, as can or even probably may result in any gKd. Mhenevcr we shall move, let us move altogether, soberly, deliberately; determined to fix upon the ground we intend to occupy, and never forsake it. Are the people, from utter hopelessness of amendment, and from conviction of determ ined wrongs to be inflicted, ready for such a stand ? I, for one, after much reading, enquiry and reflection cannot say they are. I believe that the Southern people have not arrived at the conclusion that resistance is absolutely necessary; and I am not inclined to erect mere scare crows , to be pulled down again to our confusion, shame and perhaps injury. I believe myself, and I think a large majority of our people, believe that we have strong reasons to expect an end to our present difficulties, through the action of Congress.” * ***** “ Hoping and believing that success will attend their efforts and our mutual objects be accomplished in the prevention of the wrongs we complain of and oppose, and that the preser vation of the Union, in in its purity, and with its blessings, will be secured, it remaink only for me to say that, considering the time proposed for holding the Nashville Convention prema ture in reference, both to the act ion of Con gress and the want of a demand for it by the people, I must, after deliberate re flection upon my duty, conscientiously, though respectly, de cline the position assigned me. “ Should my hones fail to be realized, and Congress fail to settle the exciting questions, with respect to which the Con vention has been called to the satisfaction of both North and South, then my pledge is in your hands, and it shall be re deemed. Yours very respectfully. ANDREW R. MOORE.” Mr. Gibson, also, throws out what may be considered a doubt as to his going to Nashville, in June. After giving his views and acceptance of the nomination, at length, he con cludes thus : “In the present condition of this movement it appears to me proper, in this way to present my opinions to the District; for while it would be a bright page in my life, to represent a constituency thinking with me on this great question, it would be a blot on my existence to misrepresent any set of *lll IIISSII BHI2SH. men; and between this and the second Monday in June, there is ample time for the people in the District, to adopt any proper measures to keep mo where both my inclinations and wants call me, at home. Very respectfully, your obedient servant. O. C. GIBSON.” After this exposition, from the standard bearers selected to sustain the cause of the 3d District of Georgia and the evident disrelish of these gentlemen to embark their fortunes in the Nashville Convention scheme, contrary to tlio will of the people—what is to be done ? M r hat will “ Mrs. Grundy” say, now ? We shall expect soon to hear it charged upon the citizens of the District, that they have become rank “free soilers, on account of tlicir indifference to the subject! It is indeed dreadful to think of! Muscogee Rail-Road * —The Columbus Times says, that Maj. Howard lias succeeded in negotiating in Savannah $. 5,000 ot the Bonds belonging to the Company, and has ordered 1600 tons of Iron, from England, to be delivered at Appalaeliicola by the first Nox’ember next. The Central R. Road has also ordered an immediate survey of the route from Fort Valley, to the terminus of the Muscogee Road. Survey Commenced.- -Mr. Cooper, with a full eorjis of engineers, as we learn from a private source, lavs commenc ed the survey of the Mobile and Girard Rail-Rood, prepara tory to the letting of contracts, on that important route. Mechanics’ Library: 1 lie Mechanics’ Society of this city, have now under con sideration, the project of establishing a Library in connexion with their Association, for the purpose of awakening a greater zeal among the members, in behalf of things useful and im portant, as well for the general benefit of the community.— \\ e learn, that, in a few days, the Committee appointed to de vise a plan for the collection of a suitable Library and the go vernment of the same, will make report to the Society for their action, when an opportunity will be given to the citizens, generally, to aid in tlie laudable enterprize, by donations of Books, Maps, Charts, and Scientific Apparatus, and by con tributions in money. M hen a call of this kind is made upon the liberality of the people, we are slow to believe that they will not respond thereto, in a spirit worthy of themselves and the important object contemplated by the Mechanics’ Society, as all enlightened persons must appreciate the blessings which flow from any well devised system of moral and intellectual improvement, like unto that now contemplated. A Startling Proposition !—Seward, the notorious abolition Senator, from Ncw-York, lately presented a petition to the Senate, praying that the slaves of the Southern States be enrolled in the Militia of the country and armed , <J-c. So villainous a proposition called up Mr. Clay, who lashed Seward and Hale, in unmeasured terms of cmpnioiml nation, for their incendiary movements. It is to the efforts of such ultras, north and south, that the excitement on this question is kept up, in Congress and elsewhere, until the heart of the philanthropist grows sick at the prospect and the most sanguine patriot begins to despair of the republic. The peo ple will yet have to rise in their majesty and hang a few of the ringleaders in this unnatural warfare, before an end is put to their turbulent and treasonable designs. Important Derision: —The case of Howard and Echols vs Stephen M. Ingersoll, tor 7 'respass, came up for trial, last week, in Savannah, before the U. S. District Court, Judge Nichols presiding, and resulted in a decision of 8600 damages against Ingersoll, for using the middle of Chattahoo chee river for fish-traps—the Judge declining to charge in favor of Plaintiffs right to said river to high-water mark on the west side, thereof, as claimed, but giving it as his opinion, that the western Boundary ofGeorgia is at lowest water mark. M'e understand that the Defendant is satisfied with the de cision. but that the Plaintiff; have appealed therefrom to the Supreme Court at M'ashington. Frre Schools in Mississippi . —•Tlie Legislature of Mi-..™,.,,, npi.rooriated 8200,000, for which the people are to be taxed, to be distributed aiming the seven luumio in proportion to tho number of children, to establish a system of free schools. Steps arc also being taken to procure an accurate return of the number of children between the ages of six and twenty years. Mr. Perkins, of Maine, has reaeheil New York with his fif teen pound lump of California gold, in quartz; the gold is supposed to weigh thirteen pounds clear. The quartz, al though crystalized and hard, lias been rolled along till all its angular projections have been rounded and worn smooth in its descent from its original mountain locality. Another specimen of quartz has been received in New York, con taining 440 pennyweights of gold—the quartz in this lump is also crystalized, and, like that of Mr. Perkins, of a smo ky hue. Boldly avowed !—A M'nsliingtoii correspondentf the “Telegraph,” over the signature of “ George Mason,” thus avows his treason against the Union : —“ This is no time for i trifling, or tor the South to make a mistake. Do not let the ] Southern people deceive themselves by supposing that this ag- 1 itation is temporary, and got up by a few ambitious spirits ei- j ther North or South, and that it will soon subside. It is not so. It is a war to the knife. It is a contest of deep seated principle, between two separate and directly opposing inter ests. One must be crushed and ruined. There is but one remedy— disunion, separation possible, forcibly, if not. There is no remedy.” A New Enterprise.—Messrs, f. a. r. Scott A Cos. are now erecting an oil mill in this vicinity, and will shortly have all their machinery in full operation. This establishment will open to the agriculturalists of this division of the State anew article of produce—the Palma Christa, or Castor Oil Bean, and our farmers, we think, will do well to turn their attention to its culture, .as we doubt not it will be a source of much profit.— Knox t ills ( Tenn.) Plebi an. A View of Slavery for White Freemen:—The only results that can flow from the present free soil and aboli tion agitation, now confided to the hands of the John M. Reads, the Garrisons, and the Douglasses, of our day, are, either the dissolution of the Union without tho emancipation of slaves, or its dissolution with their emancipation. If either of these results takes place, the North must lose, pecuniarily and politically, aud in consequence, the whole civilized world. Commodore Stockton, in his late masterly, convincing, and most powerful letter, estimates that emancipation would pour into Pennsylvania over three hundred thousand colored per sons, to compete with her white laborers, and finally to un dermine her whole social fabric. We wish John M. Read a double joy, upon the company in which he finds himself, and upon the glorious reform he is laboring to accomplish.— Pennsylvanian. Abolition of Slavery in Jamaica: —A Jamaica correspondent of the New York Evening Post sends to that paper the following letter, explanatory of the operation of the emancipation of Slavery in that Island. The Post is one of the free soil oracles in this country : Kingston, February 2, 1850. The present ruinous condition of this island is ascribed by the residents, mainly, to the abolition of slavery, and to the reduction of duties upon the staple exports. They say, with truth, that the emancipation act increased the cost of labor, and to the extent of such increase, under an equal rate of du ties, gave the slave-grown sugar of Cuba and the Brazils a decided advantagein foreign markets. It is Tin indisputable fact that this island has not exported one-third the amount of sugar, rum or coffee, for a series of years past, that it was ac customed to export, prior to the abolition of slavery, when foreign sugar was practically prohibited from the English market by a duty of 635. per cwt. and it is equally certain, that slave grown sugars have already nearly driven the Ja maica sugars out of England. Upon these facts, the Jamaica economists rest. They fold their arms under the conviction that they can do nothing for j themselves, and that nothing but home legislation can protect j them from hopeless ruin. Pulpit Declairaers:—M hat has so stirred up the zeal of the Clergy of Macon, resident aud visitant, of late, touching the abominable heresy of Universal Salvation? The land resounds with the drum ecclesiastic, and ever}’ nook and little glenn re-echoes “anathema maranatha ” against the dreadful doctrine! Wonder if there is supposed to be any danger of the spread of “infidelity” in these parts, since the late discussion at Americus! Or xvere not “heresy and schism,” on that occasion, sufficiently pierced with the lance | of orthodoxy, to make them as “dead cocks in the pit,” henceforth and foreyermore! Will no body then inform us what can the matter be ? ———— Mr. Calhoun’s Vacancy:—Tlie appointment of u. S. Senator from South Carolina has been tendered to the lion. F. 11. Elmore, and has been accepted by that gentleman. Gov. Soabrook had previously tendered the same to Gen. James Hamilton, who accepted, but afterwards declined, ow ing to some doubts as to his eligibility—and to the lion. Lang don Chcves, who declined on account of great age and ill health. * * ■Mmanoßßi Connecticut: —The Democrats have 3T majority on joint ballot, in the Legislature newly elected iu Connecticut. Col. Seymour, the Democratic candidate for Governor failing his election by the people, will be elevated by the Legislature !to that high office. Also, a Democratic U. S. Senator for | six years from the 4th of March, 1850, in room of Senator | Baldwin, (M'hig.) | Ohio J —The Democrats have succeeded in electing a large : majority of Delegates to the Convention soon to be held, in Ohio, to alter the Constitution of that State. Heavy Business.—Over 150 wagon loads of goods have been forwarded from the Depot of the Central Rail Road to the interior, within a week or ten days past, and effectually relieved the Ware Houses of the glut of merchan dize which has existed tor a month or more, at that station. There are not now, probably, over a dozen loads of goods at the Depot. So much for the increased rates of transporta tion allowed to wagoners and the notice given by the press of the late scarcity of wagons at this point. Religious A protracted meeting is now going on at the Baptist church in this city, under the charge of the Rev. Mr. Landrum. Look Out! —There are some tradesmen in this town, who practice literally upon the principle of “ taking in” strangers, who may chance to deal with them, putting on an extra tariff of charges and putting off damaged goods and inferior wares whenever they have the chance to do so ! We shall smoke some of these chaps out of their burrows, one of tlw— <* days, if they d<> not l<* r ” to 1,0 Imncut ’• The California Rush.—Three steamboats arrived af St. Louis on Saturday week, from the Ohio river, having on board over six hundred emigrants for California. The over land route appears to be growing in favor. Some 200 Cincin natians left that city on Thursday, also for California. New- York • —The recent elections in this State show a great change against the M liigs, since last year. In Brook lyn and ‘Wniiantsburgli the Democrats have carried the day. From a communication to the Christian Tndex, by the cor responding Secretary of the Board of Domestic Missions of the Southern Baptist Convention, it appears that tlie receipts tor the present year, in Georgia, tire 81609.80; excess over the past year 8102.15; while the entire receipts from all the States fall short the amount of 82,000. So it appears Georgia stands foremost in religious, as well as other enterprises.— Sac. Geo. A despatch from M'ashington says that a treaty between Great Britain and the United States, relative to the Nicaragua dispute, is believed to have been signed in that city on Thurs day morning. Terms—a mutual compromise. Dead.—'Thomas J. Campbell, Esq., Clerk of the House of Representatives, died in M'ashington on Saturday morn ing last: lie was formerly a member of Congress from Tennessee.
