ANDREWS, Editor. 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. Public Documents.- -Wc arc indebted to jhc Hon. W. C. Dawson, and Hon. A. 11. Stephens for the only Pub l lie Documents we have received the present session of Con | gross! ■ ■ ? 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 i the people of this section. Price of Daily, *5 per annum; j Weekly $2. Clubs of ten supplied for sls. Subscriptions ; received at this office. 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. irrra— 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. 1\ being a scientific and skillful Dentist, also manu fuctures Block Teeth for his own customers, on an improved plan and of excellent workmanship. See Advertisement, and go and encourage our own do mestic industry. 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. The distinguished Sweedish authoress, Miss Bre mer, arrived in Mobile on the 7th inst., from New Orleans ; and had become the guest of Madame Le Vert, of the former city. sis ©i©m ©i & eiTizin, 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 men! ti)*’ * ..Mississippi. —Tho following ts jßit forth by some of the Disunion Ajats of Mississippi: ’ “The deed is done that must inevitably result in a dissolu tion of the Union at no distant day.

Either wc must submit to disgrace, and soon to Abolition, with all’ its liorors, or wc must prevent it, and that is? by secession.”— Woodville (Miss) Rr.p. 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 ? Look Ollt Bo}'S. —About a dozen drunken rowdies made the welkin ring again, with their rioting, on Thursday ; night last, which drew upon them the special attention of ! D. Marshal Wood,who was about to put the gentlemen into j the Calaboose, but they begged off, promising to behave bet- ! ter, for the future. If they do not, we hope the Marshals will j 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.’ Toole, of the Aurora, some time since declared that two shirts were stolen from him : but this being rather an im probable story for an editor to ti 11, it has generally been con sidered one. Now, Fulton of the Journal, has lost both coat and hat. He stepped into a barber's shop for a shave, took off the apparel mentioned, and when his beard was off he discovered bat and coat were ditto. Toole says the edi tor of the Commercial lias but one suit, and always carefully looks the door of his room before he pulls it off We sup pose the Chronicle man sleeps with bis clothes on : boots aad aH.” 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. RUSTIC US. I Girard Railroad.

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. Well Off.—A gentleman in Ilenry County. Ky. in a letter to the Editor of the Shelby News, gives the following item : There is in this county, a child of a Mr. Granville Coblin, who has six living grandmothers, viz : one great great grandmother ; three great grandmoth ers and two grandmothers! There are now 3G5 Students in the University of Cambridge, a number exceeding that of any previous year since its foundation. The Senate have confirmed Col. -Tas. S. Calhoun as Governor, and Hugh N.

Sen ator from Missouri, Maryland Hams. —At the late Fair of the Mary land State Agricultural Society, there were not less than twenty-one finely cured Hams offered by as many different parties for the premiums. Most of those were from persons who have paid groat atten tion to the preparation of this delicious meat, and who have long been celebrated for the eminent suc cess they have attained. The distinguished compli ment of the first premium for the best of all these was awarded to our townsman, Mr. Thomas E, Ilam bleton, who uses the old Maryland receipt, and who has kindly furnished us with it, as follows :— Balt. American. 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 of children’s sorrows than Sir Walter Scott. Tho following lines are quoted as specimens: “ The tear down childhood’s cheek that flows 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 Georgia Speaks'. —lf there is an Amen -an who p. u read the noble address and resolutions adopted by the Geor gia Convention, which we publish in this morning's Pm; - tylranian, without feeling the force and el(Mju*?uc*o of is sentiments and its style, his heart must be cold close argument, a cogent appeal, a patriotic prayor ftr the Union, it speaks directly to the judgment and to tthe sympa thiesof the whole country.

Asa northern man we declarl- that we believe its high tone and resistless reasoning, wilu be re echoed by ninety-nine men out of every hundred\ in this State, and by an overwhelming majority of the Xorilh. In that address and resolutions the North may aet thertpiitn. sentiments of the South. There are many in that r.y2><>- who will go further—there are many who will differ w th ih< address upon certain points, but the argument and iitc al ternative will be approved by all. The argument is so over whelming tliatit presents the alternative in a shape that can not be avoided. And the alternative is, that unit** the Fb gilivt Slave Law is carried into effect by the North, tike Union is dissolved by the necessity of the case. • ***•*• “ Georgia has a right to speak in such a contingency. Slmm was one of the original Thirteen Colonies, and it is inert that she should speak bold and decisive language in this crisis Her sons fought through the war of Independence. They I participated in the debates upon the Federal Cnustituuartjl They know the trials and tribulations through which the j country passed before it escaped from the weakness of the j Confederation, and emerged into the beauty and power of the Union. She can appreciate therefore, the value of the 1 Union, even while she remembers and cherishes the rights j she has confided to it. Her voice in the present caajuoe- * turo of affairs, especially when manifested in such ■'■mem ofi eloquence and patriotism, as mark her address am rwwaig* i tions—published to-day—is entitled to the attentioh <*f th* | country. It has only to obtain that to win general aMHiI dntiou and applauses.
