Oa Friday, tbe 6th of February a bill, fort be .relief of Miss Jane Irwin, pass ed- the Senate by a unanimous vote. It is now-before the House, and there is not tbe. least doubt entertained, but it will pass this body in tbe same manner. -a . a * * • Mia Irwin ie a most amiable and esti mable Jady, and sbe has secured to her self many warm friends in this city. We tbink sbe possesses many of the charac teristics that marked the character of her brave and energetic father. We cannot forbear mentioning a little inci dent showing her determination and per severance. Whilst Kossuth and bis fam ily were in the city, we, with Miss Ir win and several other ladies called to see Mta. When we arrived and asked if he ^codld be seen, we were told bis hour of reception was past. We then asked for Madame Kossuth and the ladies by whom she was accompanied; the reply was, " They are too much fatigued to see any more oompany to-day.” We, as a mat- ter of oofrrse, were about to leave, ex pressing much regret at not being able to see them, but Miss Irwin said, “ No, no, bo aeated, I am sure the ladies can be seen,” and sending her card to a member of the suite with whom she was acquainted, in a few moments Monsieur Massingberd entered tbe parlor. After presenting him to the ladies, she asked him to see Madame Kossuth, and her friends, with a request that Miss Irwin might be permitted to present her friends to them. He saw Madame, and in a moment returned saying, she would see Miss Irwin and her friends. When we had left tbe hotel, one of the ladies remarked, “ We are indebted to you, Miss Irwin, for the pleasure of seeing Madame Kossuth.” She laugh ingly replied, “ I would be unworthy of my parentage, as daughter of a revolu tionary soldier, did I not possess the vir tue of perseverance under discourage ment.” It must be a source of gratification to Mia Irwin and her'fricnds, that the jus tice of her claim was so evident, that it passed the Senate without a dissenting voice.— Washington Metropolitan.

We learn, with regret that infor mation has been received at Washing ton, from Amos B. Corwine, Esqr., U. S. Consul at Panama, of the death, with in his Consular District, of William Bearden, late of Adairsville, Cass coun ty, Georgia. Mr. Corwine states that the deceased left a small sum of money, say #86, and 15 cents, out of which bis funeral ex penses are to be pi>>d. The Kabun Gap Road. We 6ec that tbe proposition to build this road, has caused quite a fluttering among the pigeons at Augusta. We are glad to see that something has bad the effect to 6tart the people of that city from tbe narrow and selfish policy, which has heretofore prevented a connection of the Geo. & S. C. R Road, at that place. We hope our Charleston friends will continue to agitate the question, if the Augusta people persist in levying exor bitant tolls upon Georgians, Alabama- ians and Tennesseeans and build the pro posed road, or some other which will al low us to go to whatever seaport we think proper. County Census. Jonathan D. Phillips, Esq , was appointed by the Inferior Court, on Friday last, to take the census of Cass county the present year. CiT The letter of Gen Sanford to Mr. Hallet in to-day’s paper, will attract the reader’s attention. It appears that on the 8th day of December last, Gen. Sanford, as chairman of the Democratic executive or central committee of Geor gia, under tbe old regime, received a circular from Mr. Hallett of Boston, as chairman of the National Democratic committee, relative to the assembling of the Baltimore Convention for the nomi nation of candidates for President and Vice President, and that, among other things, Mr. Hallet recommended that the Compromise should be engrafted upon the Democratic Platform. We are glad to sen that Gen. San ford thinks there is nothing inconsistent with onr principles in going to Balti more, and insists that the adoption of the Compromise resolutions is the only plan of preserving the harmony and su premacy of tbe National Democratic party. _ Warning to Emigrants. Col. H. F. Price, of this town in forms us that he has just received a let ter from bis brother, who left here a few weeks sinoe with a number of others, for ! at least ten thousand persons there in i 1 tbe most wretched cosdition, most of: I them without money or friends. They : ! bad been swindled out of their money by i men professing to be agents for the boats | who sold them tickets that afterwards proved to be spurious. We learned also that Mr. Price and his company together with R. Gould- smith, Levi Pearce and a number of our friends from this section were obliged to take a sail vessel to San Francisco, there not being room in the steamer. Wm. Sy- lar, Esq. got into the steamer, by hard work, after paying 8200 for a ticket. Mr. Price in bis letter says : “ For God’s sake tell men in Georgia to stay theresnd not come to this horrible place.’ by such counsel, and remain among their friends and tbe enjoyments of home. yt, O The Southern Right# Meeting | Our notice of this meeting last week, cave such offence to the party, that it has withdrawn the .proceedings from our possession, and bence we are unable to lay them before our readers. We regret somewhat that they got so “ huffy,” but it ■certainly was a very little matter to get mad about. Tbe notice laid down two or three propositions—let us exam ine if they are true 1st. They called the meeting a South ern Rights meeting. We learn that no democrat who was not a member of tbe Southern Rights party participated in that meeting. If so it was no slander to call them Southern Rights men.— They have not repudiated tbeir princi ples, and should not therefore be ashamed of their name. 2d. That it was nnnsual to ask the Standard to publish tbeir proceedings. Is this a mistake—certainly not. They have held many meetings here within tbe last two years, but this is the first ever offered for publication in the Stan dard, and we learn that there was but one or two in the meeting, who voted for it this time. 3d. It was said that the meeting was a failure. Perhaps it would be wrong for ns to say this was true—and we will leave it for tbe spectators to determine. In conclusion upon this subject, we will remark that had the proceedings been left with ns we should have pub lished them with pleasure, as we felt in clined to accommodate our personal friends of that party ; and we had so ex pressed ourself. We have for several weeks past, both iu the paper, and in conversation with some of them shown every disposition to be concilatory, and thus win them back, if possible, to the fold of democracy, and we regret that they have acted 60 ill-naturedly about this matter. It is our wish yet to do nothing which will prevent the true de mocracy of all parlies from uniting up on the old Jacksonian principles, in the election of a conservative man for our next President, who will stand up to the recent settlement of the slavery ques tion, and in order to do so, we will try to avoid saying anything calculated to excite the old prejudices of those, who have differed from us heretofore—wheth er whigs or Southern Rights men, ex cept what is necessary to vindicate the truth and majesty of our principles. confidence in the correctness of the prin- j cipies of ihe Constitutional Union Party i of Georgia, and that our delegates to ihe Milledgeville convention, take such mea sures as in their judgmeut are best cal culated to enforce those principles and make them tbe permanent policy of tbe | country. On motion o{ Hon. T. H Trippe, the proceedings were ordered to be publish ed io The Standard On motion tbe meeting was adjourned. W. CLARK WYLY, Cbm n. John W. Burke, Sec’y. From California. We are permitted to make an extract from a private letter to a gentleman in this county, from Mr. Nathaniel T.

They were fed, on stale bread and fot bacon that had turned green from ege. They had tick ets to Chagres, yet they weie stopped three miles from that point, and told that they could be cinied no farther and had to take other boats and pay extra therefor. Oa tbeir arrival at Panama they fou*d Union Meeting. We are happy to announce to our Un ion friends abroad, that onr meeting on Tuesday last, was one of tbe largest party-meetings ever held in the county.

In accordance to previous appointment e members of tbe Constitutional Union rty of Gordon county met in Calhoun on tbe 2d inst., and on motion Col. R W. Jones was called to tbe chair, and Col. Thomas M. Bothwell requested to act as secretary. A committee of three having been ap pointed by the chair to adopt resolutions for the action of tbe meeting, reported the following resolutions which were u- nanimously adopted. Resolved, That this meeting organize on the principles adopted by tbe State Convention held in Milledgeville iu De cember, 1850. Be it further resolved, that we appoint two Delegates to meet with tbe Union party of the State of Georgia in Mil- ledgevillc, at Such time as may be spec ified by the party to confer with the del egates from the various connties in tbe State, and to take ioto consideration the course to be pursued by the party with regard to tbe Baltimore Convention. And be it farther resolved, that tbe delegates be chosen by tbe meeting. After the adoption of the above reso lution, Belton O. Crawford and Hugh Gaston, E.-q’rs, were chosen Delegates, and Alexander Stroup and A. Hiod, Esq’rs, as tbeir alternates. On motion the proceedings of tbe meeting were ordered to be published in the Cassville Standard. R W. JONES, Ch’n. T. M. Bothwell, Sec’ry. The Presidency—Mr. Fillmore from present indications, is likely to be the choice of most, if not all of tbe Whigs of the South western* States. Indeed it is probable that he will be the nominee of the Constitution al Union party throughout, the Union Who more deserving this honor? Does he not richly merit ibis distinction at the hand of Ihe friends of ‘ the compro mise !”—Recorder. In relation to the above remarks of the Milledgeville Recorder, we di-tinctiy say that although we give Mr Fillmore due credit for all be has done in sustain ing tbe Constitution and the laws of tbe land, yet we would have oui eotempora- ry to understand that there is no proba bilitg of Mr. Fillmore being the Candi date of the Union party of Cherokee Georgia. * Tbe Atlanta Intelligencer says: We un derstand thata railroad meeting was held a few days ago at Cedar Town to take measures for assisting in tbe construction of tbe proposed Railroad from Rome to Jacksonville, Ala. Thirty thousand dol lars worth of stock in tbe road was taken, and between thirty and foity thousand more promised. Death of tbe Hon. Wm. B. Bul loch.—It is our painful duty to re cord the death of tbe Hon. Wm. B Bulloch, which took place at bis resi dence in this city on Saturday morning Mr. Bulloch was a native of Sawannab, and among onr oldest and most respect ed citizens. During a long and active life he beld a prominent position in this community. He was for many years President of tbe Bank of tbe 3tate of Georgia. He also beld the office of Collector of tbe Port of Savannah. In all his relations both official and private, be enjoyed the confidence and esteem of his fellow citizens in an eminent degree, and though his advanced age had with drawn bitn from the bnsy career of life, his loss will long be felt, and his mem ory revered by all who knew him. He was buried yesterday afternoon from Christ Church.—News. o fiT Hon. Isaac Holmes, lately a member of CongBjaj^jfrom Sooth Caro lina, went oat to^fSnifornia, to try a streak of lock.

Some of tbe Georgi ans here are making from 15 to 20 pen- nyweigbts per day. I cannot tell you much about tbe country for I have been about but little. What I have seen of it, it convinces me that it is the finest country in the world. Tbe climate is mild and not changeable iike it is in Georgia People are begin ning to farm a good deal; they will give hands $100 per month to farm, and board them.

You can raise as many as you want with little trouble. I beard a fellow nay he saw a middling that was 14 inches thick. We were three days coming from Sa vannah to Havana. We stayed at Ha vana 6 days, and the people treated us with great contempt—if we walked the streets they would hollow at us on every side and make fun of us. We went on tbe steamer Philadelphia, which took us iu six days from Havana to Chagres. We then got on a little whale boat, and was three days going up tbe river. It is the ugliest river that ever run. It is about half filled with bottles—I think I have seen about, five hundred floating down the tiver. The first night we stay ed with an American, and tbe second with a native, or wbat we would call a negro. When we went to bed, we lay under an old shelter, and slept on bulls’ hides. We were two days crossing the Isthmus. Tbe mud was about one foot and a half deep. We had to pay #100 for tickets from Panama. I had $21 left, and half'rhe—ewiivd did n^ ave a c- nt. They liked to ha ve-starved us to death on tbe steamer—give us pickled btef that out stunk carion, and mush once a week.

House of Representatives on Friday, after much preliminary action, the House, by a vote of yeas 100, nays 84, laid npon tbe table tba bill explanatory of the Bounty Law of September 28, 1850. The bill, as bas heretofore been stated, proposed to give land officers additional compensation for locating land warrants, provided for the extension of the la# to a largo class of new cases, kc. long a time he came across Messrs. J. R. Knott, Wm. H. Dabney and Wm. J Cantrell, who roadily granted his request, so that by tiro o'clock that night, as I learn, all the writs were copied abd docketed, ready for the sheriff next morn ing. Well so much for that. This shows that tbe people mostly attend to tbeir own business, as “C-” remarked in one of his communications, and let other people’s alone. I was in the store of Mr. , the other day, and saw a man, who lives in town somewhere, go behind tbe counter in the way of the inmates, and talk with customers.—pricing some articles, and asking tbe cost and price oi others, as though he wished to put the right sort of per cent on them. This is not the Way they do out gander, but unfortunately it is too often tbe case in gander Per haps “ C.” bas not noticed anything of this sort, or be would have aid some thing about it, (if he were not afraid of making tbe people mad,) as I suppose be would wish to give the had as well as the good. But if you will give me a showing occasionally, I will relate tbe bad. if it should escape tbe notice of “ C.” yet l will not trouble you often. A few nights since, the house of Mr. Win. M. Peeples came very near being consumed by fire. It was discovered burning between the dining room and dwelling, just after tbe dwelling bad caught. The wind was blowing very bard, but a chain pump being near, and hands coming quickly to the rescue of. the house, the fire was extinguished with bat little injury to the owner. There are various conjectures as to the cause of the Bre. -Mr Jnukj. as thc.r,-A were against us but fortunately #e have- a marshal and patrol now, ahd hope ail things will be kept straight. We have no church yet, ueither have we benches enough for the people to sit npon when they assemble for preaching, notwith standing the town has been in existence some time Yet [ hope that within one year from now we Will be able to build at least one church, for nearly all the denominations arc trying to erect each a church. There is a fine merchant mill near this place, which adds greatly to it, as the people from a distance bring their wheat to mill, End while it is being gronnd, come to town and do their trading, which perhaps they would do at some other place, were it not for the mill. Also, not far distant is a steam saw mill, just being put in operation, together with oth er saw mills near at band, which will soon furnish tbe town with lumber in abundance This place is quite lively and healthy at present, and I tbink bids fair to be come a place of great pleasure and com fort, notwithstanding the talking and laughing at preaching at present. I can say with “ C.” that the longer I live here, tbe better I iike tbe place. Onr schools are moving on finely, with in creased subscriptions. Tbe society of ibis flourishing town has greatly improv ed within tbe last year or two, and is still improving rapidly ; yet occasionally we have a fight or quarrel, both ahum the liquor section, for yon mast know that when liquor is io, wit and good sense are out, consequently the baser passions have full sway. Nothing more at present, bnt hope to bear from “C.” one of these dags. I will not trouble you often. Yonr obedient sarvant, M. Sanford*# Letter. Mill kd&ktille, Dae. 9, 1851.

Thus blended together, I eaa perceive no suf ficient reason why we may not readily mefet those in council, whose purposes are identical with oar owo-none. why we should not confer freely together, in reference to such measures as will moat probably enable oa to seeore the great object we have in view. And to this end, we most not be adjudged as too nicely Xsstkttoua, should %%a$m frip* taut to consort, or co-operate,' with that elass of men, no matter what their past political denomination, whose folly or whose pbrenzy may still incline them to arouse tbe slumbering discontents of the country.

With such? we would have nothing to do.
