We arc induced, for the sake of great er convenience to ourselves and our sub scribers, to change our day of publication 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 served to our City subscribers, until Friday morning the 17th inst.

Supreme Court.— This body is now holding its Spring Session at Milled Seville. The session will be short, only 15 eases being on Docket. 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. ■gw—■— 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. % ra $ & $ © m © i a sisiisi. 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. mTjnr* ft x ft xt JL kit m jrk Ju A JoL n s MARRIED— On the 2d inst. by the Rev. Sylvanus Landrum. Col. VVm. F.

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.

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.
