CHANGE OF PUBLICATION DAY.
We arc induced, for the sake of great

from Thursday to Friday. This will
make no difference to those who receive
their papers by mail, while it will enable
us to give the latest news by the mails of
Thursday previous. The next number
of the “Citizen” will therefore not be

Eulogy on llr. Calhoun:— The Rev. President,
Win. 11. Ellison, lias consented to deliver the Eulogy on the
life and public services of Mr. Calhoun, which was ordered
at a town meeting of our citizens, some weeks since.
DPClillOd. —Hon. M. J. Wellborn lias signified bis wish
not again to be- a candidate for Congress from the 2d District
of this State.
Who arc the Dupes? —Jno. \. Campbell, one of the
“chivalry” of South Carolina, settled in Mobile, denies that
the purpose of the Nashville Convention is disunion, and de
clares tlni.se to be dopes who heed such imputations. This is
his language : —"lt has been charged against the Nashville
convention, that its purpose is disunion. It is one of the devi
ces of the enemy to defame the southern states, and to dash
and confuse their counsels. The wonder is, that they can find
dupes at the south to heed such imputations."—We are incli
ned to think that Mr. Campbell is essentially duped himself,
admitting that he is sincere in the above expression of opinion.
If disunion and a Southern Confederacy, whose capital should
be somewhere in the region of Coweta Falls, Ga. (where “ev
erlasting great men” are always to be found) were not the pri
mary objects of some of the movers of this project, the signs of
the times have signally bailed the judgment of those who
are in the habit of observing the political horoscope of the
day. We subjoin one or two items in proof of the fact, that
dissolution tens meditated and boldly avowed by these “hot
spurs
One paper in South Carolina says : “We bold it to be the
tarred duty of the South, enjoined by every sentiment of pa
triotism, honor and interest, to demand aud enforce a dis
solution of the Union.” Another says, “tee are in favor of
a dissolution of the Union.” Judge Heydenfelt of Alabama,
says, the object of the Southern Convention is to “form a
new Constitution of the United Slates of North America.”
A correspondent of the Charleston Mercury says, “disun
ion is the only remedy, and to the South the only so urce of
safety, independence and prosperity.” It (the Southern
Convention) “should insist on additional constitutional
guaranties or a separation. The first will never he given;
and it may proceed at once, to the work of self preserva
tion,” which is “disunion.”
And a pamphlet has just been published in Columbia, S. C.
by “one of the People,” and circulated in Alabama, from
which we select the following paragraphs :
“My idea is, first to perfect the union of the South, now so
happily progressing.
“Secondly, to dissolve the Union immediately, form a
Southern Confederacy, and take possession by force of arms
of all the Territories suitable for slavery, which would in
clude all South of the parallel of latitude of Missouri. Let
this Territory then be settled up by slaveholders. L t the
Southern Slates give a tract of land and one slate to every
poor family trho will settle there.”
And again:
“To sum up, every reflecting mind must admit what I
have attempted to show, that a collision is inevitable between
the North and the South, sooner or later. It must equally
be admitted, that under the practical operations of the Un
ion, in regard to the unsettled territory, the South are, com
paratively speaking,dosing ground every day. It follows,
then, as a necessary consequence, that the South are inter,
ested to bring bn the contest as soon as possible. Therelore
I say this, this is the auspicious moment. The opportunity
is presented in the meeting o f the Nashville Convention. —
Let us use the opportunity. Let the Convention act. We
have had words enough—we want veritable deeds. Apply
the knife and cut out the cancer. If the patient does bleed,
it is better this than the certainty of a lingering death.”
In the light of the foregoing, we again ask, who are the
dupes ? Manifestly Mr. Campbell and his endorsers, provi
ded he and they are honestly of opinion that disunion is not
the purpose of the Nashville Convention. By your own wit
nesses, not ours, are ye condemned, gentlemen, as meditators
of Treason against the Union, and must, therefore, take all
the consequences which attaches to the parricidal crime, if
done knowingly, and not as the unwilling dupes of design
ing and ambitious knaves, whose schemes you have not sense
to see through. Take, then, either horn of the dilemma you
please—that of knave or dupe, and make the most of it that
circumstances will permit. W e envy you not the laurels
whieh you arc likely to win in so inglorious a field.
“All the Decency!”
That self-complacent print, the “Columbus Times,” in ap
plying the adage “you tickle me Johnny, and I’ll tickle you,”
to a recent letter of an Alabama lawyer to Gov. Collier, on
the subject of the proposed Nashville Convention, thus struts
in some of the cast-off self-glorification plumage of the “Uni
versal Whig Party.”—
“Has it ever occurred to our readers to observe, that the
strongest intellects and most astitute (?) thinkers in the South
are nearly all on the side of the necessity of Sonthern defen
sive action. Let the reader begin with the lamented Cal
houn, and run over in his mind, the names which his memo
ry will furnish of those who are for or against the Southern
movement, and he will find the preponderance of mental
power as well as unquestioned patriotism on the side of the
Nashville Convention.”
If tills is not something sublimely ridiculous to emanate
bom a professedly Democratic Journal, we have lost our
guess! Only think of it! The “preponderance of mental
power as well as unquestioned patriotism” of the whole
commonwealth of Georgia is concentrated in 3,722 of its in
habitants, all told! This is the sum total of the factionists in
fieorgia, be it remembered, according to the returns of the
late election ! We may well say, “God save the common
wealth,” if all the wisdom and patriotism to be found within
its limits, is of such pepper-corn dimensions, as is here set
forth by one of these sapient self-adulators, himself!
Who’s afraid? —W hy is it that the Nashville Conven
tion Press of Georgia have not yet given the Official returns
of the late Election, in this State ? Are they afraid or
ashamed to tell the truth to the “dear people?” By the way,
we see that some of them complain that any publication
whatever has been made on the subject! “ Times ain't as
they used to was,” certain, or long before this, we should, in
view of the great triumph achieved in Georgia, by the Con
vention party, have seen any number of “ crowing roosters’’
and “big guns blazing,” all proclaiming, in large capitals, that
the sulnnissionißts had been “ routed, horse, foot and dra
goons, ’ that “ we have met the enemy and they are ours,”
and such like glorificatory doings, on occasions of the sort!
But instead of shouting “Crow, Chapman, crow!” and danc
ing, in ‘Bachanalian jubilation, over a prostrate foe, these
heretofore valiant Sir Knights of the goose-quill, are now as
meek as “ sucking dove” fledglings in the maternal nest,
save only when those doleful meanings which result from an
abortive parturition reach our ears! Wonder if the sup
pressed agony of some of the political “old ladies” of Georgia,
bears any resemblance to that endured when the mountains
travailed, in ancient times, and “ ridicutus mus nascitur .'”
M e think it likely, on the principle that “ like causes produce
like effects,” for if a mountain labored and brought forth an
insignfieant mouse , how terrible must be the throes of those
who have died in the act of giving birth to a monster non
entity !
——
Judge Scarborough and his assailants.
“ I shall never refuse to respond to the call of any portion
of my fellow citizens, when made m harmony and concert,
for the common weal of the State or the South. But to be
made an instrument to excite to the dissolution of this glori
ous Union, by the employment of unconstitutional means,
I will never lend my name.”
So wrote the Judge to the Committee of this Congression
al District declining his nomination as one of the Delegates
to the Nashville Convention. lie candidly confesses his read
iness to respond to the call of any portion of his fellow-citizens
when danger to the common weal of the State or the South
threatens, but declines going into the Nashville Convention,
as not being embraced within any sucii a call or demanded
by the public necessity.
For this, however, he has been hotly denounced as wanting
the “ spirit , patriotism and nerve to meet the alarming cri
sis'’ which that Convention proposes to arrest! The said
Convention is likened, by one Editor, unto the memorable
Congress of 1776 that protnulged the declaration of Indepen
dence, and the Judge is thanked for “sparing that body the
tepid influence of his presence and counsels,” inasmuch as
none but true Southern men, and not libellers, are wanted in
the august assemblage ! “Well, people will differ about such
things, but had we been called on for the antitype of the Nash
ville Convention, we would not have gone quite so far back
as 1776, by some 38 or 10 years! We remember that some
such meeting was once held at Hartford, Connecticut! We
do.
Be this, as it may, we do not think J edge Scarborough
should be denounc and, so unqualifiedly, for declining the some
what doubtful honor, to say the least, which 838 of his fellow
citizcr.s have thought proper to confer upon him. llc is, how
ever of age to speak for himself, and we doubt not, is possess
ed of sufficient “patriotism, spirit and nerve,” to rebuke effi
ciently, the impertinence of bis “unconstitutional” denuncia
tors, in a matter that concerns himself and himself only, if he
has not enough to go into a measure having the taint of trea
son on its escutcheon.
Proclamation.- -The Governor has issued his procla
mation, announcing the election of two Delegates from each
District to represent Georgia in the Nashville Convention.
Will these gentlemen go? Will they consider the “broad
seal” of his Excellency paramount to the authority of the
people ? Each Delegate of the 20 (4 for the State at large)
will represent exactly 186 1-10th of the sovereign voters of
the State—that’s all !
Soutlicrn Manufactures.
We are exceedingly gratified at the increasing interest
which the people of the South and our own State are taking
on the subject of Manufactures, of various kinds. It has been
estimated that in the four States of South Carolina, Tennes
see, Georgia and Alabama, there now 1 HO Cotton manufactur
ing establishments, running 140,000 spindles, nearly one half
of which are in Georgia. In these factories, cotton yarns and
cloths of every description, except the finer qualities, are man
ufactured.
This is, however, but one item in one department, which is
being almost daily added to. The Roswell Cos. in Cobb coun
ty, and Gov. McDonald, in Campbell county, are sewn to add
ten thousand spindles in the same line, and a large Company
is being formed in Hancock county, to embark in the same
branch, besides the Factory going up in this city. In addition,
we have several extensive Iron Works, Flouring Mills, Bucket
and .Sash Factories, Paper Mills, &c. Os the Cotton there
isoneat Columbus aud anothej at Athens. A large Steam
Flouring Mill is nearly completed at Atlanta, with five run of
stone, and an engine of 120 horse power. Messrs. Cooper &
Wiley,of Cass, have commenced the manufacture of Nails ,
and make a good article. The Georgia Burr Mill Stones are
being sent to Richmond and elsewhere, from the manu
factory at Savannah: and the enterprize of manufacturing
Cars and Locomotives, wheels and all, will soon be commenc
ed at Chattanooga. At Raleigh, N. C. and Augusta, Ga., we
believe this branch of business is already in successful opera
tion, and might, as well as not, be commenced in Macon.
In addition to the se cheering particulars, we have in Georgia,
extensive Marble factories, and various other manufactories of
importance. And lastly, though not the least in interest, is
the projected establishment at Atheis, Ga., of a Type and
Stereotype Foundry, by a Mr. Kelsey from Boston, for the
supply of Printer.- , with all needful articles of Type, Rule, &c.
This once in successful operation, a Printing Press Manufac
tory will soon follow.
Add to these our extensive Rail Roads and the various
P’.ank Roads which are projected and which will soon inter
sect the whole country, and who can predict the true greatness
and independence to which we have it in our power to attain!
In fact, the people of Georgia have the means within them
selves of entire independence. They can grow every species
of produce for their sustenance and manufacture every article
of necessity and luxury, from a broom-liandle to a palace.
They can rear their own stock, build their own Bridges, from
a log causeway to a Remington structure, and manufacture
every article of prime necessity which republicans care to
have. Why, then, be longer tributary to the North for these
things ? Why have Northern Cabinet makers, Chair makers,
Tailors, Iron mongers, Carriage makers, Ac., Ac., to flood
the land with their products, and drain us of that wealth
which should be diffused among all classes at home ? There
is no reason why, if the people of Georgia and the South,
generally, will adopt the correct theory on this subject and be
careful to put that theory into practice.

Correspondence of the Charleston Courier.
Washington, April 29.
The week opens brightly. Whatever discontents have
prevailed they are now nearly extinguished. Nothing could
be more aupicious than the agreement of the members of the
Committee, ten of the 13 being present, to a scheme of com
promise.
My letter of yesterday briefly stated the provisions of
the scheme. The whole thing is becoming easy. Some
days ago, there were but 20 Northern Democratic members
who could be vouched for, as certain supporters of this, or any
so liberal scheme. Now, we count 30. The passage of the
bill proposed is beyond a doubt. Mr Benton will rave and
rage, but who will regard liim ? He has already given his
programme. The nuisance must be tolerated. If he abstains
from open violence, his opposition will lx? of no account. We
cannot, this morning, count up more than 12 Senators who
will, with Mr. Benton, resist the propositions of the Commit
tee. The country may be congratulated upon the happy re
sult. Those who doubted, at any time, the strength and du
ability of our institutions, have been agreeably disappointed.
The Union is broader and stronger now than it ever was be
fore.
The three bills of Mr. Clay’s committee will now pass
the Senate—that is, in a month, and the House will easily
pass them. Faction is dying away. It fades before the
strong aud free opinion. %

Southern Rights and Southern Mechanics.
Dr. Andrews — Dear Sir :—There appeared an Editorial
in yours of the 25th ult. that was much in unison with my
feelings and experience. It was relative to this eternal hypo
critical carping in defence of Southern Rights, and at the same
time supporting every species of Northern industry, aboli
tion and all, for indeed such support is giving succor and relief
to the enemy, indirectly, for those fanatics contend that they
are countenancing the institution of slavery by consuming
the products of the South. I have, therefore, determined to
become a subscriber to your valuable journal, a paper that
takes so much interest in that indispensable and most indus
trious, but much neglected class of our fellow citizens, the me
chanics of the South. You have, dear sir, one other verya
ble and talented cotemporary; one that takes a deep interest
in supporting, by every means at his command, home indus
try. I have no doubt you anticipate me. I mean the inde
pendent and gentlemanly editor of the Journal A Messenger,
Mr. S. T. Chapman, the honest friend of mechanical interests.
May you both prosper according to your merits.
Yours, Ac. BODKIN.
LATER FROM EUROPE.
ANOTHER ADVANCE IN COTTON.
The steamship Cambria arrived at Halifax on the 3bth
nil., with Liverpool dates to the 13tli.
Cottoii has advanced an eighth of a penny per pound,
since the Failing of the previous steamer. Fair Orleans are
quoted tit 7 1-Sd ; Mobile 6 7-8 ; and Upland 6 3-4d. The
week’s sales amount to 42,000 bales. The manufacturing
districts exhibit very little improvement. Manufactured goods
do not keep pace, in price, with the raw material, and it is
said to be the design to resume the working on short time.
Indian Corn is a trifle lower. Flour steady at previous
rates.
The Coffee market was dull, and prices lower.
The Bullion in the Bank of England lias slightly declined.
The rate of discount is now 2 per cent.
Rumors are prevalent that the English Ministry, owing to
the fact of being unsuccessful in Parliament, will be compelled
to resign.
The Continental news is unimportant. Order prevails
throughout France. The Greek question remains unsettled.
Serious apprehensions are entertained of a rupture between
Russia and England, regarding the Greek affairs. The Ein
peror of Russia assures King Otho of assistance, provided
England continues the blockade, which she appears determ
ined to do.
The English Parliament arc endeavoring to curtail the
public expenditures. In Ireland the weather is pleasant, and
the crops promising.
The market for cotton in Havre is steady, aud the price of
the article unchanged.
STILL LATER FROM EUROPE.
Another Advance in Cotton. —The Canada arrived on
the 3d instant, with Liverpool dates to the 20th ult.
The steamer Niagara arrived at Liverpool from New York
on Tuesday, the 16th ult. The news she conveyed out,
caused Cotton to advance, and the prices of every description
went up an eigth of a penny. The sales of the week amount
ed to 61,000 bales. The Committee of Cotton Broker's Cir
cular of Friday evening, 19th ult-., quote fair Uplands 6 7-8;
fair Mobile 7d; fair Orleans 7 l-4d. The Circular states
that there is no doubt of the short receipts in America—that
the matter is of too serious a character to be overlooked, and
must produce a powerful influence on all interested.
From the manufacturing districts the intelligence is more
cheering, and generally a somewhat improved trade has been
experienced. The commercial advices from China and In
dia are satisfactory.
The Havre Cotton Market, at the last was firm, and an ac
tive demand for the article existed.
Political. —The British Ministry have met with another
unexpected defeat, which has caused a great sensation.
There lias been ;is yet no outbreak on the Continent. Re
ports from France indicate a critical state of affairs. The
Socialists evince a deadly hatred towards the present Govern
or, and have nominated Eugen* Sue as their candidate for
Paris.
The Pope has returned to Rome, but there was no pomp
or public display'on the occasion.
All the leaders of the Hungarian revolution, who did not
surrender, have been sentenced to death—among them Kos
suth.
Diplomatic relations have been renewed between Turkey
ami Austria.

BROWN’S
ECCENTRIC PROGRESSIVE
POWER PRESS.
THE advantages of this new POWER PRESS, and its superiority
over all others, are as follows:
The power applied is multiplied 440 times, hy the Lever and Eccen
tric pully, that is, one hundred pounds power applied to the Lever
will exert a force 24,000 pounds on the Cotton. The whole top of
the hale box is open to receive the Cotton, and it may he put as near
the Gin House as is desired. It is three, times as powerful as a screw
of 18 inches diameter, that has a nine inch pitch of thread with the
same length of Lever, and of course the horse has to walk but one
third as far, for the reason that a lever is required hut one-third as Ion?
to do the same work. And further, the Press follower descends with
much greater rapidity at the commencement of the operation, when
but little power is required, which shortens the distance travelled by
the horse, in proport ion to the increased velocity of the follower at
the start.
This Press can be made very compact, and equally powerful, by
using the wheel and axle, and can he so modified ns to answer any
purpose where a Press is necessary for manufacturing or domestic
purposes. For Cotton it requires one-fourth less work to build, ami
three-fourths less work to raise, than the screws, and if a cast iron Ec
centric wheel is used, it will not he much m-er half the work to build
as a screw. For Pressing Cotton, Tobacco, Hemp, Hay, &c. it cannot
be excelled. There is one-third less timber in this Press than in the
screw, and it is certainly the cheapest ever built.
The whole cost of the Irons will not exceed $45, which may he had
ofC. 11. Levy, of Macon, who is the only person authosizedto furnish
them. This sum is exclusive of freight and the cost of right to use
the Press. If the Eccentric wheel is made of Iron, the cost will be
10 orsls more for the Iron work, but it will materially lessen the
cost of labor on the wood work of the wheel, and will be the cheap
est in the end. Any good Mechanic can construct the Press from the
drawings and specifications which will accompany each right.
I shall sell n single right at S2O, which sum can lie sent hy mail at
my risk, provided the fact of sending is certified to by the Postmaster
of the place where the letter is mailed. Each right will be accompa
nied by an engraving and a full description, so that any mechanic will
be able to build the Press. Any communications, post-paid, will lx;
punctually attended to. n. a. D. BROWN.

can, with confidence, recommend it to the public. Its great power,
convenience and simplicity of structure, renders it, in our estimation,
the best that we have seen. It packs downward, which we deem ve

easily covered in and mqde very durable.

Two hundred and thirty Cadets, from fifteen different States, have
entered tin* Institution since it was organized, in 1817, It is 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 a cheap
Uniform, fi r Winter and Summer, is rigidly enforced. Every stmient
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 of the West Point A cade Wry
and of Pblyteehnic 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 desider
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. Davhcss, the Professor of Law, is known is the various
Courts as a practitioner of great ability, varied learning, long experi
ence and exalted character. His eminent qualifications, the whole
some exercise and discipline of the Institute, and the convenient ob
servation of the forms of judicial proceeding, offer unusual induce
ments to those who are earnest to achieve distinction as sound Lawyer*
CIVIL ENGINEERING
Will be thorniiohly and praiticnlly taught in the Western Military In
stitute—the Professor, OoL Moroan, being one of the most skillful and
experienced Engineers in the United State*. AH the instruments con
nected witli that department, have been procured at con.-ideral4e cost,
and are of the best quality.
The Superintendent takes the liberty of stating that he is now otter
ed $.5 [Mir month, for coiopetant assistant Engineers. One of his for
mer pupils receives at this tune 92,500 per annum, as Principal En
gineer of a Railroad now under construction in Kentucky—whilst
others of the same class are receiving in different parts of the United
States, 92,000, $1,500, or $1,200 a year as Assistant Engineers.
The time is rapidly approaching when there will lea great demand
for such as have been pre|ared 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, wifi give birth
to hundreds of others, tributary to them. The rapid advancement of
onr whole country, and the eagerness of our people, for exploring the
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 Hurvevor and the
Architect. V oung men x\ ho have au aptitude for the Mathematical
and Physical sciences will 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 time, and
at small expense, at the Western Military Institute.
