Buying Bonds.
Secretary Bontwell, since about the 1st inst.
has been buying United States bonds with gold,
at the rate of about a million dollars per week,
and intends to pursue that policy so long as the
Treasury receipts enable him to do it. This
plan of paying off the national debt is violently
assailed by some of the New York financiers
but so would any other plan be attacked, for
movement in this ar.Mcr is possible which
will not tread on somebody’s foes. It certainly
appears to bo a common sense idea for the gov*
ernment to retiro its interest bearing liabilities
as fast as it can, and buy up its own paper not
due at the lowest market price. Most people in
debt and desirous to pay up would adopt
that identical policy. Let the government do
its best in the Jatler particular, and it will still
lose somewhere about fifty per cent, on the
consideration for which the bonds were issued.
The Nouthern Pacific Railroad.
The Montgomery Mail says the Mobile and
New Orleans railroad will undoubtedly become
the initsl Ruction of the great Southern Pacific
route end from thence Eastward, the line most
strike across to the splendid harbor of Pe
la, and thence across West Florida towards Fer-
nandina and Brunswick. There is now a rail
road from Fernandia and Jacksonville to Quincy,
near the Apalachicola. If West Florida should
be ceded to Alabama, and State aid be granted
that road under the provision of the treaty, it
could be put through immediately to Pensacola
and Mobile. Tho result of this wonld be of
great value to tho State of Alabama. Mobile
wonld at onco secure every cotton hale the has
lost, and send it to Fernandia for transhipment.
The Georgia Central Road to Savannah wonld
be completely fiankod, and-Mobile would com
mence a new career of improvement, thereby
adding to the taxable property of the State.
Willing to Nnbmlt to Proper Arbitra
tion, but no Humbug.
The London Standard of tho 18th, in an arti
cle on tho Alabama treaty, says that tho awaiting
further expressions from Parliament and Con
gress commits the business to indefinite post
ponement. England’s sentiments have been
clonrly pronounced. She ia still prepared to
submit to a proper tribunal the question of
wrongs and damages; bat any attempt to open
the controversy on preposterous grounds, what
ever the American sentiment may be, ia absurd.
From this position England can not recede.
From .South Western Georgia.
Mr. Jones, of Wooten’s Station, reports to
us that he has just seen the crops ou the line of
tho South western Railroad from Dougherty
county up. They are small and backward, but
generally promissng and in fine condition. On
gray lands tho cotton may have suffered a little
from the cold weather, bat no indication of in
jury is visible on the red clay lands. Tho stands
are generally very good and tho soil in fine con
dition. A good corn crop has been planted
which is looking well.
Negro Exodus from Virginia.
Richmond, May 18.—Owing to the extensive
sales of land in small lots to white emigrants,
negro laborers are going farther South for em
ployment. Over .100 recently left Hundreds
are preparing to follow.
A similar movement is reported from North
Carolina; and so it msy be that white labor
competition in the Northern tier of the Southern
States may make negro labor abundant in the
South and Southwest.
Dxspxbatc Savaoes.— A little party of Indian
prisoners at Fort Hayes, Kansas, turned upon
their guards. The Chiefs were ordered to re
move in care of a guard, from the corral to the
guard room, when they gathered in their tents
and began the death whoop, and taking out their
knives, went for the soldiers. Cardigan at
tacked the sergeant of the guard and was knock
ed senseless by a blow with the bntt of a mus
ket. Sallie, a ferocious squaw, wielding a knife
tried to sheath it in tho body of an officer, when
one of tho guard shot her dead.
Big Head looked with scorn on the circle of
bayonets surrounding him, and stabbed Sergeant
Hanson, dangerously wounding him in the back.
A guard shot him dead. Dull Knife tried to
stab every one near him. and he was pricked
severely by bayonets. He and Cardigan wore
then disarmed and lodged in the guard-house.
Healthiest Crrr South.—The Columbus Sun
says those who have investigated the subject
tell us that a comparison for ten yets shows
that, according to the ratio of population, the
bills of mortality in Columbus are less than any
city in the United States, except Utica, New
York. This shows what a heathful place we
have to live in.
The Postmaster of Macon.
The appointment of the negro, Turner, to
the Macon Postoffice is one of those acts of
which denunciation is as superfluous as it will
be unavailing. Every white m»« in Georgia
will feel it to be an insult, and every sensible
negro will turn np the whites of bis eyes over
it- Turner is a carpet-bag mulatto. He came
out to Georgia soon after the war, according to
common report, in the capacity of a Methodist
missionary, but his chief employment in this
section has been that of a political drill master
among the blacks, under the orders of the cen
tral Radical organization in Washington- He is
a copper colored mulatto—say almost one-half
white, with considerable natural astuteness,
some smattering of knowledge, and a large
stock of assurance.
Ho has managed to make a figure in the
scurvy politics of Georgia within a year or two
past, but if he has any material interest in the
Slate to the valne of a dollar, we never heard
of it. It is to snch hands that Gen. Grant (i
the dispatch particularly states) has consigned
one of the most important post offices in Geor
gia. We shall not attempt to fathom the views
of public or party policy in which such appoint
ments originate; but we shall be content to see
them work out their legitimate consequences in
Georgia. The administration may think they
can build up a party in that way, or can put
down “the distinctions on account of color,” by
forcing the whites into contact with negro
officials, and thus work out a grand social and
political amalgam. It is a conception worthy
of the Sumners and Creswells, but it is surpris
ing that a man of the world like Grant should
ever fall into it. It ia said, however, that the
President does not mean to confine these experi
ments exclusively to the South, but will insist
upon negro incumbents in the other sections.
Well, tho faster the administration falls the
sooner it will reach bottom.
TIic Cold Weather and Crops.
The coolness of the Spring is the subject of
universal remarks. It is so extraordinary that
everybody is looking for the wont accounts from
the growing crops. Everybody says that wheat
and oats cannot possibly be healthy in snch
weather. It must be that they will take rust
and mildew. Com, sir, can’t possibly grow with
such nights os we are having. Cotton is bound
to be lousy, aore-ahinned and rusty. It will not
and cannot stand such weather.
This ia the talk, and yet the reports from the
plantations do not generally bear it out Com
and small grains are in pretty fair condition.
Cotton ia yet promissnig—?t is not growing fast,
but generally speaking the stand fair and the
fields ore in good order.
The fact is, a great deal better farming than
usual has so far been done this spring. Tho
farms are in far better order than common. The
soil has been much more carefully prepared for
cropping. We are pleased to add to this report
the universal testimony that tho hands on the
plantations are doing better than last year, and
that really we do not hear the first complaint of
them or from them. The relations of labor and
capital—employer and employed—seem to be in
a very satisfactory condition, and we rejoieo to
be able to make this statement.
But to return to the weather—it is indeed ex
traordinary for this season. Tho average tem
perature of our nights oannot be much above
fifty, and the atmosphere in tho shade is chilly
throughout tho day.
Oub Maryland exchanges continue to speak
hopefully of the growing crops in that State.—
The strawberries on the Eastern-shore, it is
stated, indicate a large yield. Wheat is looking
well. The prospect for peaches is also good, if
the frost does not kill them. This is a Teiy
critical period for peaches.
Wheat in Minnesota.—Dates to the 18th from
St Paul state that reports from all parts of Min
nesota say that the wheat crop never looked
more promising. A much greater breadth has
been sown than ever before.
It is stated that in the course of one fomight
recently, farm stock to the value of $30,000,
consisting of cattle, sheep and horses, has been
purchased in the neighborhood of London, on
Mormon account, for exportation to Utah.
The French Election.—A Paris dispatch of
the 18th says that the election in the vicinity of
that city is likely to result favorably to the op
position party, but the general result throughout
the country leaves little hope for tha.t party.
One of our friends, who is a little profane,
when he heard of Turner’s appointment, began
to curse, but suddenly cheked himself, saying
he would not be able to do justice to the sub
ject.
Utah Central Railroad.—Brigham Young
broke ground on the Utah Railroad last Tuesday
and expected to complete it by October.
The demand for passages to America, is so
great at Cork that in some of the shipping of
fices the books are closed against new applicants
until next month.
Another Mcedeb and Robpeet.—Mr. Samuel
Hardeman, a highly respectable citizen of Ogle-
thor pe county, while on his way to Dauielsvilie
last week, was shot and his throat cut, which it
is supposed, produced instant death. Our in
formant states that he had $ 1..">00 with him, and
it is supposed was murdered for his money. No
clue as yet to the perpetrators of this outrage. —
Athens Watchman 19th.
Crop News.
Baxes County.—A friend says, the Athens
Watchman, writes us that the farmers In Banks
are doing finely so far as grain crops are con-
oemed, bnt that cotton will be almost on entire
failure—the late cold weather having killed it
out to less than half a stand. We regret to
hear this. They are not without remedy, how-
. It is not too late to plant com where the
stand of cotton is insufficient
A gentleman who traveled across the country
from Banks county to Atlanta via Gainesville
and Lawrenceville, last week, writes to the
Athens Watchman of the 19th, that along the
the road the wheat prospect is excellent
In some neighborhoods in this county, we re
gret to learn, wheat has suffered some injury
from that old-time pest, “the fly.”
A writer from Dalton to the Constitution says
the wheat crop in that soction is looking fine,
and farmers expect a much larger yield than
they have had since the war.
It seems to be the opinion of a majority of
farmers says the Rome Courier that there will
not be more than half a crop of wheat made.—
The heads are unusually short.
In some localities fruit is all killed, while in
other sections of the county there will be a full
crop.
The Columbus Enquirer says: Planters re
port dead and rusty cotton. Com is said to be
doing well, and wheat and oafs also.
International Congress or Societies
For Aiding the Sick and Wounded.
Editors Telegraph .•—On the 27th of April the
last sitting of the International Congress of so
cieties for aiding the sick and wounded in war
took place in Berlin. As soon as the members
wero assembled, a telegram was addressed to
Miss Nightingale, who had, by sickness, been
prevented from beingpresent. The subjects pro
posed for consideration were of only subordinate
interest, snch as tho position of the societies
with regard to the order of St John, the neu
trality of the various mineral baths in Europe,
the founding of an International Journal, Ac.
After a proposal had been brought forward
and adopted, that the Conference should bo
held alternately every two years in one of the
countries in which central committies are exist
ing, Vienna was chosen for the meeting-place
of tho next Congress. An announcement was
then made that the Prussian Central Commit
tee had offered a prize of a hundred Friedrichs
d’or, (about $550,) for the best treatise on the
most effectual means of affording voluntary as
sistance in sea-battles, to be based on the latest
experience in naval warfare.
Competitors will have to send in their essays,
which may be written in German, French or
English, before the first of May, 1860.
The Congress was then dissolved.
The Queen and Crown-Princess of Prussia
were present at nearly every sitting.
It was a cause of universal regret that the
United States of America was not represented
in the Congress. A resoldtion was, however,
adopted that a report of the proceedings of the
Assembly should be forwarded to the American
Government. Jabno.

Editors Telegraph: Com, wheat and oat
crops look well here. . Cotton affected as else

Memphis Convention.
Memphis, May 18.-—The weather to-day was
cool and pleasant, and everything oonspired to
make the opening day of the Commercial Con
vention auspicious. After assembling at head
quarters on Adams Street, a procession of dele
gates was formed, who marched, preceded by a
band, to the opera house, which was handsome
ly decorated and festooned with evergreens and
nags. On an arch over the stage was inscribed,
“Memphis welcomes her guests.” On the right
and left of the stage were a miniature locomo
tive and steamboat. Underneath the latter was
suspended a section of the Atlantic cable.
Long before twelve o’clock, the appointed
honr, the house was crowded with delegates and
visitors, who were regaled with national airs.
Promptly at that hour the convention was called
to order by W. H. Cherry, Chairman of the
Memphis Chamber of Commerce, after which
an appropriate prayer was offered by Bishop
Pearce, of Georgia, which was followed by an
official welcome by Mayor Leftwitch. at the con
clusion of which Governor B. M. Patton, of Al
abama. was nominated by acclamation as tem
porary Chairman, and W. R. Moore, of Mem
phis, as temporary Secretary.
On motion of Hon. Erastus 'Wells, of Mis
souri, a committee on permanent organization
was appointed by a call of States, the chairman
of each delegation announcing the name as the
State was called. On a call of States, the fol
lowing responded: North Carolina. Missouri,
Iowa, Alabama, Ohio, Virginia, Indiana, Mis
sissippi, Georgia, Arkansas, West Virginia,
Louisiana, South Carolina, Tennessee, Califor
nia, New York and Kentucky.
After the committee had retired, Hon. J. W.
Clapp, of Memphis, delivered the welcome ad
dress, which was heartily applauded. The Con
vention then adjourned until (r.x
On reassembling in the afternoon, after some
discussion, the Committee on Credentials was
discharged, and on motion all who had received
invitations from the Memphis Chamber of Com
merce were declared eligible to seats on the
floor.
Hr. Trezevant, of Memphis, asked leave to
read a letter from from General Lee, which
granted amidst tumultuous applause. He
jretted his inability to present at the
tor the building up of the shattered fortunes
the country, and expressed the greatest sympa
thy and interest in the movement.'
The reading of the letter was received with
renewed applause. It was ordered to be spread
on the minutes.
A committee of one from each State was then
appointed on permanent organization.
It was then moved that Senators Sprague and
Fowler, Gen. Halstead and Gen. Kirby Smith be
invited to seats on the floor. Carrie
Load calls were made for Sprague, but it was
ascertained that he was not in the room, and,'in
response to a call. Senator Fowler addressed the
Convention at some length, urging the import
ance of harmony and fraternal feeling in the
waikot tho Convention, and ahnthaparamount
importance of the subjects to be considered—
particularly, leveeing the Mississippi, reforming
the labor system of the South, ami building a
railroad to the Pacific which could be used at all
asqns of the year.
He'then gave way to the Committee on Per
manent Organization, who announced the fol
lowing as permanent officers: General Charles
D. Anderson, of Kentucky, formerly Lieutenant
Governor of Ohio, Chairman; Erastus Wells,
of Missouri, General A. B. Lawton, of Ga.,
George H. Walters, 8. C., W. H. Cherry, Tenn.,

Kentucky, W. B. Isaacs, Virginia, Dr. J. A.
Noyes. Louisiana, A. XL Clayton, Mississippi,
Vice-Presidents; W. H. Fitch, of Memphis,
Secretary, and members of the press as assist-
nts.
Governor Foote and Judge Williams, of New
York, were appointed s committee to conduct
General Anderson to the chair, who, after being
introduced by Governor PattoD.ro turned
for the honor, and touched upon the duties of
the Convention and the work before it, which
brought rounds of applause.
After adopting a role to meet hereafter at 9
a. u. and 3 r. M., the Convention adjourned.
The city ia full of strangers, and every train
arriving Is crowded. Everything indicates a
harmonious Convention, as, notwithstanding
many antagonistic interests are to be snbserved,
the best feeling prevails.

of West Florida, as it may be affected by the
laws of Alabama.
7th. A railroad from the Apalachicola River
to Pensacola, or to some point on the Mont
gomery and Mobile Railroad, shall be entitled
to tho benefit of the endorsement law of the
State of Alabama, ($16,000 per mile.)
8th. The Savannah End Gulf Railroad shall
not receive permission from the State of Ala
bama, within three years, to pass across the
ceded territory.
9th. This agreement has no force until it
shall have been ratified by competent authority
of the States of Alabama and Florida, and by
Congress.
Something over 1,200,000 acres of the public
lands mentioned in tho second item, are swamp
and overflowed lands and internal improvement
lands, which were carefully selected, and are
said to be very valuable.
The State of Florida receives five per cent of
the proceeds of the sale of all Government
lands within its borders. This per cent upon
the Government lands in West Florida is trans
ferred to Alabama.
Under an imperfect revenue law, the rev
enues realized last year from tho teritory pro
posed to be ceded, amounted to $31,000. A
more perfect law would have brought, perhaps,
$50,000. But as it was the rate of taxation of
Alabama being higher than that of Florida, the
sum realized under our laws would have been
about $30. 750.
The area of the counties of West Florida is
10.000 square miles, vrith a shore line ou the
Gulf of Mexico of about ISO miles. Their pro
ductions are cotton, com, rice, tobacco, sugar,
molasses and lumber. Besides Apalachicola
Bay, which is very much like Mobile Bay, there
are three others harbors of note in West Flori

the Gulf, and easy of approach and entrance by
vessels drawing 24 feet water; St. Joseph, and
St Andrews, both excellent harbors, and acces

Information Desired from Southern Poiro-

Fomological Society, at its recent session in

tion :
Resolved, That the Secretary (F. B. Elliott,
Cleveland, Ohio,) be requested to solicit from
Southern Pomoiogists such information as will
