MACON, GA., JANUARY 18, 1851.
Macon Cotton Market.
During the early part of the week, the demand was very
active and sales heavy. For the past three days, the market
has been duller, owing principally, to the anxiety of dealers
to receive later accounts from Liverpool, two Steamers being
now past due.

N. Y. Day Book. —Mr. Stimson, one of the Editors
of the New York Day Book has been with us, a few days,
on business of that office. The Day Book is a well known
and “uncompromising Champion of the Constitution and tho
Rights of tho South,” and deserves a liberal support from

Habeas forpns. —Thomas Knight, jr, charged with
the murder of Willis H. Hughes, was brought, by writ of
Habeas Corpus, before a called session of the Inferior Court
of this county, on Saturday last, with a view to have him
bailed for the offence committed. After argument by
Counsel, the Court permitted the discharge of the prisoner
on hafi, fixing the bond at $15,000. Said bond has not yet
been given, nor is it probable that it will be, as the Superior
Court convenes its regular session on Monday next, during
which a trial can be had.

Rail Road Connection.
At a special meeting of the City Council of Macon on
Thursday evening last, tho Committee of citizens appointed
by that body on the 27th day of September last to arrange
the details of agreement with the different Rail Iload Com
panies for the right of crossing the river and connecting the
roads within the city, submitted their Report. The following
are the specifications of the agreement between the parties :
1. That the three Rail Road Companies pay to the city,
for the right of crossing the river and making the connec
tion (with a common Depot in the city,) the sum of $5,000
dollars per annum, as an annual tax, in perpetuity.
2. The City Council reserves the right to tax the proper
ty of the Company, in the city, as other property of similar
character is now taxed.
3. The arrangement to be approved by a majority of the
legal voters of the city.
4. That after said crossing and connection takes place, the
rate of freight betweeu Griffin and Savannah, and Ogle
thorpe and Savannah shall always be at least one fifth more
than betweerl Macon and Savannah, so that no discrimination
shall be made against Macon, in favor of said places.
The Committee having submitted the proposition as thus
set forth, to the citizens, about four-fifths ol the taxable proper
ty holders of the city and two thirds of the legal voters of
the corporation, ‘approved the £££ditions and gave tlp‘ir
sent to the same by signature, whereupon the City Council
concluded the negotiation with tho Companies, by granting
them the privilege of connection on the terms proposed. Tho
following is the route which has been selected for the connect
ing links of the three roads;
Branching from the Central Road, a short distance below
their Depot (East Macon) and curving into and crossing the
l iver opposite 6th street, running up Gth street to the South
Western Rail Road Depot on square 79 and making, at pre
sent, a passenger Depot in Mulberry St. below the Court
House. From the Macon & Western Rail Road, running
from a point, a short distance above their present work shops
crossing the Columbus Road back of the residences of John
D. Gray* and R. B. Washington and down the bottom of
Rogers’ branch, near Troup Hill ,and curving into the South
Western Rail Road.
Macon Mechanics’ Society.
At an election for officers of the above Society, held on
Saturday evening last, the following persons were chosen to
serve for six months, viz:
Charles G. Douglass, President, Benjamin F. Griffin, Ist
Vice President, E. C. Sherwood, 2nd Vice President, David
Toucey, Rec. Secretary, L. F. W. Andrews, Corresponding
Secretary, A. F. Sherwood, Treasurer.
Library Committee. —L. F. W. Andrews, W. C. Wil
son, John J. Harris, S.T. Chapman and James A. Nisbet.
This society will shortly complete their arrangements, for
the establishment of a Circulating Library and a News
Room, for the benefit of the members and the public, and
the Secretary is now engaged in collecting subscriptions of
Cash, Books, <fcc., with a view to the opening of the Library
in the course of two or three weeks. Those favorable to an
object of such undoubtedly beneficial character, will please
send in their contributions, as early as practicable, to the Sec
retary or either member of the Library Committee, who
will see to their proper disposition. There arc perhaps thou
sands of books lying idle in the Libraries of the citizens of Ma
con and vicinity, which the Mechanics’ Society would take
pleasure in receiving as donations, and placing them in a po
sition to be useful to the rising generation. And the labors
of the committee will be materially lessened, if each individ
ual who has a single Book to give to the Library, will send
it in without further notice.
In addition to the Library enterprise, the Mechanics’ So
ciety design enlisting the services of competent persons to
deliver a course of popular Lectures on Science and the Me
chanic Arts, before that body, to which the public will be in
vited. Professor Loomis has kindly consented to deliver a
Lecture on the subject of Chemistry as applied to the Arts,
due notice of which, a* well as time and place, will bo given
next week. *
Oglethorpe University.— The Milledgeville Record
er says that this Institution has commenced tho present year
under most cheering auspices. Already, we understand
some forty new students have been admitted into the college,
and the number will be increased in the course of the present
week, probably to fifty. This is a cheering evidence of the
public confidence in Oglethorpe University.
Homo Industry. —Dr Putnam lias established j
in this city, a manufactory of Incorruptible Porce
lain Teetli, and is able to furnish the profession
with the article equal to any imported from the
North or from Europe. The materials used in this
manufacture are of Georgia product, entirety. Dr.

Thick Ice.— At the last accounts the Mississippi
river at St. Paul, Min., was frozen over with ice ten
inch thick, and loaded ox-teams had passed on it
from Mendota and Fort Snelling to St. Paul.

Orleans ; and had become the guest of Madame Le

The Rebonnd.
The Southern Rights Candidates for Tax collector and Re
ceiver, were elected on the Gth inst., in the following coun
ties viz: Pike, Muscogee, Bibb, Chatham, Crawford and
Meriwether. In all these counties the submissionists elected
their ticket in November.— Telegraph , Jan. 14.
Just as wc expected ! Messrs. Cain and Russell, successful
candidates for the offices of Tax Collector and Receiver of this
county, wero elected on their professions of being strong
Union men ! Mr. Russell was especially indignant at be
ing called a Fire-Eater or Disunionist. So it was in Musco
gee. The gentleman elected Tax Receiver was understood to
be a Union man and, we believe, wo can prove that such was
his profession during the summer. All these are however
claimed as triumphs of the disunionists, and are so claimed,
by the ‘ Telegraph,’ in the face of tho fact that the entire U
nion Ticket for Mayor and Aldermen in this city was elect
ed, on the Saturday previous to tho election of the County
Officers named. But tho Telegraph has another triumph
to record in the election of that print to be one of the two
city printers for the present year 1 Such a sop in the pan
from the Union Board of Aldermen to a rabid print that lias
abused every man of them, without stint, as a vile submis
sionist, is certainly a marvellous stretch of liberality which
cannot be accounted for, on any principle save that distin
guishing principle of Christian ethics which teaches that when
“your enemy hungers, feed him, or thirsty, give him drink.”
Be this as it may, the undeserving recipients of this public
bounty, at the hand of their political enemies, would perhaps
show as much modesty as good sense in abstaining from the
boastful game commenced in the foregoing extract, especial
ly as they arg indebted to their fancies for their facts, in calcu
lating their triumphs !
Savannah News.— it gives us pleasure to notice the
prosperous condition of the Daily Morning News of Savan
nah. Its year of probation is over and the Ist Number of
the 3d Volume appears much enlarged and improved. The
List of Letters of the Savannah Post Office is also published
in its columns, showing that its circulation in that city is
greater than either of its coteinporaries. Success to it, in
all its business relations.
Horrible Occurence— On the 3d inst., Mr. k.
j Chester of Memphis Tenn. was brutally shot down and killed
j by a runaway negro who wished him to renew the free pa
pers which he had with him but which Mr. C. pronounced to
be forgeries and refused to do. Tho negro was taken to the
Calaboos by the officers and thence by nil outraged people
and swung up by tho neck to the nearest tree !
Congressional.— Senators Ilale and Seward, on the
15th presented petitions abolishing the Fugitive Slave Law ;
both laid on the table indignantly. The House, in commit
tee, agreed on three cents as a uniform rate for letter post
age.
Clergy Disfranchised. —The legislature of Flor- i
ida have refused to amend their State Constitution, so as to
allow Ministers of the Gospel to hold political office! Preach
ers are thus placed on the same platform with negroes, mi
nors and convicts ! One of the dearest rights of oitizenship
has been invaded by this proscriptive edict, without a sem
blance of good reason or necessity. Grant, if you please,
the inexpediency of Clergymen entering into the
arena of politics, yet that does not justify taking away from
this class of men any privilege which appertains to any other
classes of honest and duly qualified citizens. They might as
well deprive the clergy of the right to vote—or the right
to bo tried by a jury for offences charged. In all such cases
the public sentiment should be left to correct any evil which
the exercise of the inalienable rights of the citizen may su
perinduce. The people may vote to keep, preachers at home
—but they have no right to put u ban upon them because
they are preachers, and our wondertls that in this enlighten
ed age how such an odious and illiberal feature should ever
have found a place in a republican Com * “'[ion ‘of fr.>e

Newspaper Pilferers, —Although it is, we believe,a
1 “fixed fact,’’ that the circulation of the “Georgia Citizen’’ in
Macon and vicinity, is greater than that of any other paper
of the city, yet we arc constantly ealled on to supply our Sub
scribers with duplicate copies of each weekly issue, to make
good the loss occasioned by the slight of hand dexterity of
Newspaper thieves, borrowers Ac. which infest onr corporate
limits. Yes ! there are men in this town, dressed as gen
tlemen, and able to pay for their Newpapers, who are in the
habit of picking up the ‘Citizen’ wherever they can do so,
surreptitiously, and making way with it, of tenbeforc the ow
ner has tho chance of reading it.. And what is more discred
itable, some of these gentry abuse the paper and vilify its
Editor, on all occasions when the subject is mentioned ! Ve
ry well, gentlemen (?) Wo know you will see this notice
and therefore we give it, ‘without money and without
price.’ ESF’lf you will read the Georgia Citizen, send to the
office and buy a copy, like honest men, and do not steal that
which you affect to despise ! We will permit the abuse to
pass for what it is worth, if you will quit your pilfering !
Is not this a fair proposition ?

do their duty, and after caging the wild animals, give us their
names and we will put them into the Citizen, pro bono publico.
Editing Newspapers in N. Carolina.— From
the subjoined article from the ‘ Mountain Banner ’ a spirited
paper published in our Native county, State of “Rip Van
Winkle,” we should judge that tho business of editing pa
pers in that commonwealth was almost as lucrative as it is in
Georgia ! Poor Devils ! who so buffetted and spit upon and
kicked, by an unsympathizing generation as they? But hear
what the Banner says of the luck of some of these gentry:—
“ Editors and Thieves. —The editors in Wilmington
seem to be particularly unfortunate in ‘falling among thieves.’

took off the apparel mentioned, and when his beard was off

Central Rail Road. —At the meeting of Stock
holders on the Gth inst. 12,932 shares were repre
sented. The President of the Company, the May
or, Messrs. Porter, Fav, Anderson, Screven, Wadley
and Reynolds were appointed a Committee to con
sider the condition of the Muscogee Company—the
cost and time of construction of the Muscogee road,
from Fort Valley to a point 50 miles east of Colum
bus, and the best plan of raising the funds necessary
for constructing said 21 miles. It was also resolved,
to consider the question of adding *1,000,000 to the
Capital Stock of the company to meet the outlay re
quired for enlargement of Depots, the crossing of the
Ocmulgee River, relaying the upper part of the road,
<fec. And it was finally resolved, that these matters
be referred to a special of the Stockholders,
which is called for the first W ednesday in March
next.— Sav, Rep.
For the Georgia Citizen.
in Improvement.
Mr. Editor: A great draw-back to tho advance and fill
ing up of your beautiful city, has been tho want of eligible
building lots. We are glad to hear that this deficiency is a
bout to be supplied. That such lots are needed it is not ne
cessary to argue with any one who is familiar with tho posi
tion of things here. A few gentlemen have purchased fifty
acres of land just without the cordate limits of the City.—
We u nd erstand th at the su r vey of t h esc lots has been com plcted,
and that a map of the survey is about to be published. These
lots occupy a most advantageous position lying between the
Macon and Western Railroad and the Columbus raid. They
offer beautiful building sites, and they combine other great
advantages to all wishing to seek residences in Macon. They
will be sufficiently near to the Female College and other
schools and to the business portion of the town, while
they are so far removed from the noise and bustle
ns to be very quiet and retired. They aro not within the
limits of the corporation, and their owners will not, therefore,
be exposed to the burden of municipal taxation. Again, they
will be much cheaper than lots lying within the town. While
thus offering inducements of no ordinary kind to those wish
ing to build, the extension of the city in the direction thus
contemplated, would be a benefit to us all. Wc trust there
fore, that the scheme may not fail front any want of encour
agement, but may be carried out in such a manner as great
ly to benefit and improve our city.

Tho Philadelphia North American has the follow
ing telegraphic despatch under date of
Washington, Jan. 7, 1851.
Official intelligence was received here to-day that
the British Government had directed its agents, au
thoritatively, to suspend the collection of duties at
Sau Juan, or Grey town, in Nicaragua. This pro
ceeding, taken in connection with other information,
warrants the belief that Great Britain means to ful
fill the Clayton treaty, and to remove all cause of
complaint on our part. It is very probable that
San Juan will be restored to Nicaragua in good
time.

who have long been celebrated for the eminent suc

was awarded to our townsman, Mr. Thomas E, Ilam

To Clue Maryland llams. —To every one hun
dred pounds weight of pork, take eight pounds of
ground alum salt, two pounds of brown jsugar, two
ounces saltpetre, one anil a half ounces potash, and
four gallons of water. Os these form a brine. The
meat should be well cooled and dried before being
cut up, and then suffered to lie one day in a cool
place. Then rub each piece with fine salt, and pack
the whole down and suffer it to remain some two or
three days, according to the weather. The above
brine should then be poured into the cask or tub on
the side. After being in the brine six weeks take
out the meat, rinse it in cold water, hangup and suf
fer it to dry for four or five days, or longer, and then ,
smoke some two weeks with hickory wood. Tie up
each ham in a linen bag, and whitewash the out
side.
No writer has so beautifully portrayed the transient nature

Is like the dew drop on the rose ;
When next the summer breeze comes by
And waves the bush, the flowers is dry.”
TIIE GEORGIA CONVENTION.
To show in what estimation Georgia is held a- j
broad, we make a few extracts from leading
expressive of the great satisfaction every where en
tertained of the “ wisdom, justice and moderation ” 1
exhibited by the late Georgia Convention, on the ;
exciting topics which called that body together:
The Tuscaloosa Monitor says:
‘ Georoix Convention.—Although the conservative char
acter of this hotly was well ascertained before its action was
known, still no little interest is to be attached to its proceed
ings. Speaking the deliberate voice of the South, its words
will hare weight throughout the whole country. Its position
is presented in the resolutions which w publish below. In
this, the whole South can, and, we trust will unite. An im
passable barrier will thus be raised against the aggressions of
fanaticism, and,at the same time, all danger of hasty, ill
concerted action at the South will be removed.'’
The Tallahassee Sentinel says:
“ The Georgia Convention has covered itself with glory.—
It consisted ot 2G4 deldgates, of the purest, greatest, and best
men of both parties in the State. The Convention was in
session five days, and on the last day adopted by a vote of 23T
to 19, a report and resolutions of admirable tone. We have
never read a document more brilliantly illustrative of the mot
to herself, “ Wisdom, Justice, and Moderation.*’ It is most
fortunate that, amid all the rage and madness of Northern
fanaticism, the intense irritation and excitement within her
own borders—tlto temptations incident to an overwhelming
majority, and the petulant taunts of an irritated and dis
comfitted opposition, the Convention should have put forth ,
so noble and mggnauimous a paper, studiously careful to do
justice even to the North, and refraining from the slightest’l
reproach upon the opposition. It is written in a spirit of
hopeful patriotism, and it addresses itself in a tone of the
j must manly and gentle dignity to the patriotism of the other
t sections. It is just such a paper as become the great
State of Georgia to put forth, and just such as will tell upon
( the better feelings and maturer judgment of the other States.
It has neither vaunt nor taunt, but speaks w’ords of truth and
soberness in the language of benignity and moderation. The
resolutions speak for themselves. They are precisely the
ground wo desire k stand upon. Upon the report and reso
lutions of this < (invention, Georgia takes a most exalted po
! sition. Physically tin great State of the South, she is greater
j in her justice, an*l wt .shall look to her with confidence for an
! example of wbat is becoming and proper, for a vindication of
| thejights of the Southern States of the confederacy. Ilcr
influence in this end, is destined to be almost controlling.”
The New Orleans Bulletin has the following:
A Merited Rkxblee—Some time since, the Governor
! of Georgia |ad a block of. the native marble of that prolific
, State prepared, agreeably to resolution of the Legislature,
for the Washington Monument. Unfortunately, the Legis
lature, instead of inditing the inscription that was to distin
guish and ornament this patriotic memorial, left it to the dis
cretion of the Executive to prepare “a suitable inscription.”
The fire-eating Governor, who had caught the infection of re
bellion from his belligerent brothers on either side—Sea
brook of Carolina and Quitman of Mississippi—had inscribed
upon the marble block, and which row constitutes an integ
ral part of the great national monument, the following signifi
cant words: The Constitution as it is — the Union
teas. This motto , which will be visible to future generations
as long as the perishable marble upon which it is inscribed,
exists, falsifies the truth, and represents Georgians a disaf
fected and rebellious State. Tit is is not the position of “the
Empire State of the South:” she is as true as steel, faithful
and loyal to the Constitution and the Union; and will go as
far as the farthest in maintaining, indissolubly and perpetual
ly, the bonds of the Constitutional Union.
“The Convention that recently assembled ior the purpose
of taking into consideration their federal relations, and which,
as the oracle of the people, solemnly declared that the Amer
ican Union is secondary only in importance to the rights and
principles it was designed to perpetuate, a* a characteristic
supplement to their patriotic proceedings, resolved to prepare
a jjjloek of Georgia marble, with an inscription expressive of
Sirtre ansi feeling* of the pedjpfe otft*- State. -
;er the adoption of their noble address and resolutions, in
eh the Convention declares unwavering fealty and devo
tion to the Union, and formally passed an solution that the
members should subscribe for a block of marble to be pre
sented to the Washington Monument, with this inscription :
Wisdom , Justice and Moderation — Georgia Contention,
1850—a significant rebuke of the partisan c haracter of. the
Gubernatorial inscription, which had misrepresented that uo
ble State, placing her in a factious position, in which she sev
er has been, and never will be, so long as h<.r constitutional
rights are maintained.”
From tae Philadelphia Pennsylvanian, ire extr et
