TRUBSDAYt FEBRUARY 17 1855.
R DEATH "oFBiSHOP CAPErT *
We regret to learn from our CnroJinu
exchanges thw morning, that Bishop Ca
pers died at his residence rt Andersen
I Court House on Monday tatd
THE NEXT PRESIDENCY.
J The Washington “Sentinel” of the
?3rd ultimo, contains an editorial article*
leaded, “The Next Cam
| J‘AKIN,” which we hare perused with nio-.e;
than coin in on interest. While the article I
is a well written and prudent one ; and ;
, while many of its positions are doubtless ;
correct; still we do not entirely agree with ■
Its assumptions and inferences, and are)
prepared, as we believe the whole South
is, to take an open and bold stand, now
and for the future, in reference to the
Hext candidate Tot the Presidency.
In our nosition on this ini nor-
IJU UUJ jMjnivivii vis viiin
tant subject, we arc not prepared, by any
means, to admit that, by the previous
course of the democratic party, in national
assembled, as the “Sentinel”
intimates, any evil consequences have fol
lowed the nomination and election of dem
ocratic Preeidenta, whose previous posi
tions before the country, were not quite as
conspicuous as other aspirants for the nom
ination. Indeed, we know of but two in-
Mancos where public expectation was not
fully realised by the action of the National
Democracy in Convention. The first Jwas
jn 1844, when James K. Polk was nom
inated. The second was iu 1852, when
Fka n KLIN Pierce was nominated.—
With regard to the first, obscure, and,
comparatively, u.u undeserving as he
was 4Are asserted to be, it will be hard
wov to find a corporal's guard of the old
opponents of his nomination, that will de.
*•/ to bis admiuiwtration what is chimed
for it by the democracy of the whole
Union; to-wit: that it woe a strictly just,
honest, faithful, democratic administrs'
tioo; one that sustained itself in perilous
times; which euriched the Union by its
territorial acquisitions ; and which Ims
eawed the memory of its Chief to bo re
wered at home, while It is respected and
honored abroad.
■I • •
In the second instance—that of our
present Chief .Magistrate, Franklin
Pierce—the same, thus tar, may be writ
ten. ITis nomination was unexpected.
But in what has he been found unequal to
his elevated position ? Must tho disap
pointed in their grasp after office, or gain,
conclude t<f pro-judge an administration,
•re it has half expired, and endeavor to
prejudice the minds of the democracy
against it, by a resort to the old story of
distinguished statesmen, and obscure Pres
idents? If they Jo, they will as signally
Ail in such an effort, in regard to Premi
»KNt Pierce, as they did in the case of
Pb wide nt Polk. The former will leave
the Presidential Chair, w« hodtato not to
predict, respected both by enemies and
friends, aud approved by the democracy
from one end of the Union to the other
The foregoing remarks mo made by us
with the more freedom, because the posi
tion which we occupy, shall maintain, |
and urge, is tavorable to the nomination*,
by the national democracy, of one whose |
statesmanship has boon scrutinized; is I
. wnquestioned; and whose recent efforts in
, the miunteuanoc of duumcrntic principles
•od our glorious Constitution, place him
4hr iu advance of those who, heretofore,
Wore his rivals for the distinctiou of b?ing
the democratic oamlidate for thu Ifrcßiden
vy. Kvvry .southern heart will anticipate
us while we write his name. StKI'HEN
A- IkJOrtLAa, «f llliuois, Is the man for
the times ! In 1856, we hope to ace at
th* must head of every Southern, North
ern, and Western democratic paper, that
name in letters so impressed that he who
runs may road it as he runs. The old de
mocracy of tlic South, we foul confident,
will cheer ua, as we urge the “vottnc 1 de
mocracy” to buckle on their armor tor the
contest. In it we .shall know no such
wordaa/hiV! The pretensions of all oth
er aspirants must, so far as we arc con
cern ci I, give way to that of the Illinois
Mtatesmau. We shall nail Lie name, at
the proper time, to our mast head, and we
Ami an abiding confidence that it will not
he withdrawn, until he shall, at the Cap
itol of thia liepublic, assume the position
now no honorably filled by Frank UN
Pierce We are confident, too that what
and aaaert, will be responded
Mln a. by nineteeu I wentirtl» s
.U”l that thi-
. tiueuKC
the Routh —yes, upoa the North also—
should be the desire of every true pa
triot.
Id future issues of the “Examiner,” we
shall say more on this subject. While we
are satisfied of the course the democracy
of Georgia will pursue, we shall, neverthe
less, urge n unity of purpose, in regard to
the next Presidency, upon the democracy
lof the South: Not only this, but unity of
. purpose upon the whigs and democrats of
the South. We are satisfied that there
' are thousands of the former, who will
stand, side by side, with us in such a con
test’. But, be this as it may, the hour i s
fast approaching when it will be necessary
—and Douglas is the man upon whom—
to rally for tho maintenance of Southern
Rights, Southern Institutions, and the
Constitution, without which there can
neither exist peace nor UNION.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
* Tiu Livj£bpool Cotton Market. —
1 Since the 12th inst., Cotton has advanced
* an eighth of a penny. The sales during
the week ending the 19th inst, comprised
' 5G,000 bales, including 10,000 to specu-
* latora. Fair Orlema was quoted at sjd.,
Middling Orleans 5 3-16 d., Fair Uplands
1 std.,and Middling Uplands 5 l-16d.
The Liverpool Breadstuff's Market was
’ slightly better, Flour having advanced
1 sixpence, Corn sixpence, and wheat two
I pence. In Flour the transactions had
’ been small, but prices were firm. Good
* Ohio was worth from 43s 6d a 45s per bbl
i of 190 Iba. In Wheat the transactions
had also been limited, but prices were firm.
. White was quoted at from Ils Oda 12 8
1 10 j d per 70 lbs. Corn was in moderate
> demand, and White commanded from 44s
Od a 455. and Mixed from 43s a 44s gd
per 480 lbs.
Statk of Trade.—The advices from
Manchester were unfavorable.
The Ixmdou Money Market presented
no new feature. Consols for Money closed

HOMICIDE.
. On Sunday night during thoexcitement
attendant upon the alarm of fire, we are
sorry to announce that a desperate affray
oecurod in this oity. A young man by
the name of Goss, a brick lay or by trade,
received a pistol ball in the pit of the stom
j ach, and no reasonable hope can be en
j tertamed of bis recovery. Owing to the
numberless reports iu circulation it is im
possible for us to furnish any reliable
statement of the particulars connected
with his unfortunate affair. It is known
that t|be shot was fixed by William A. B.
I Goddhrd, of thia oity; but, up to the time
> our paper goca to press, the attendant cir-
I cumstances have not transpired. Goss
was comparatively a stranger in Macon—
having resided here only a few weeks.—
' The police have not yet. succeeded in ar
resting Mr Goddard.— Macao. 2'd,
Arrest of a Savannah Thi«>- at
Montgomery —The Mongomery Ala.,
Journal, of Monday last says: A few
days sinco, Mr. P. Larkins, the City Mur
shtd, received a dispatch from Savannah
:to look out for a young man whoso ap
; poaronce was described, and who probably
i had a stolen negro woman with him. On
J the same day, the Marshal found at one of
, the hotels a man with a mulatto man scr-
I vans with him, answering in some respects
the description. By the aid of policemen
' Beid and Cook, the arrest was prompt.lv
i made, by entering their room and surpri
i sing tho parties. On examination, the
servant was found to bca woman,and gave
her name ns Charlotte, aud belonging to
J. 1*- Sandford, of Savannah. Tho white i
covey nave hu name us “Samuel Charles
Chappell, perhaps assumed. Both were ,
safely placed in limbo, to await the ac
tion of the owner, nnd the authorities of
i Georgia.
CoirvivTioji or a Dvcuar.—Jusn
Images has been found guilty of tnanslaugh
terat New Orleans, wit ha recommendation 1
tc mercy, for killing Juan Paster in a du
el. The prisoner is about 40 years of age,
and has a family. The Courier says:
“This is the first time in the annals of
G*uisiana that a coni iction for dueling has
taken place, although the statues making
the slaying of a man in a duel murder are
coeval with the constitution of the State.
It is true this duel was fuught under the
most atrouiuus circumstances, and in a
moat murderous manner. Nevertheless,
we hail this verdict as an important legal;
precedent, and as an evidence of a healthy
state of public opinion.”
The dud, it appears, was fought with !
knives; the parties were equal in physical
power, and when one objected to the knife
; of the other, the latter offered and actually
did exchange knives, and with the weapon
of hi- antagonist dew him.
New Hampshire is now without a ecna
1 twrial representative in Congress.
•Gfr The New York Commercial Adver
tiser of Saturday says;
The iron screw steam ship Glasgow,
Capt. Craig, left her dock this morning
for Glasgow with a full cargo of flour,
train and provisions. She takes out one
undred and three passengers, among
whom is the poor lunatic that has figured
here as “the Angel Gabriel.” When the
ship cast off from the dock, he blew a
blast from the trumpet, and shouted three
times to the spectators on the wharf.—
Wonder what influence he will have upon
the superstitious sailors.
Supreme Court.—This body convened
in this city on Monday 22d inst., Judges
Lumpkin, Starnes, und Benning presi»
ding.
We understand there arc fifty two cases
on the Docket, all of which, by existing
law must be disposed of in three weeks.
It must be apparent that full justice can
not be done to cases by the Court. It is
time that the defects of the system were
removed. In order that a Supreme Court
may be beneficial, it is necessary that it
be held in one place, where the Court and
Bar can command the use of books, and
that the Court shall have ample time to
examine every ease. That this change is
essential must then be apparent to every
member of the profession. It can work
no injury to clients as they never attend
the sessions of this august body.— Colum
bus Times & Sentinel.
Death of a Georgian at Havana.—
A letter from Havana announces the death
of Wm. H. Baker. Esci.. of Georgia, who
***. A*. V* WUU
died at the Hotel Cubanas, of consumption
awed twenty-seven years, on the 17th inst.
I He was buried on the 18 th—having had
; kindly care and attention among strangers.
[ His remains were attended to their resting
. place by his countrymen, residents in the
notel, and others.

at his residence in Augusta, Maine on
Tnursday night last.

“I cannot bear children,” said Mrs.

looked over her spectacles mildly before
she replied—“perhaps if you could, you
would like them better.
The Legislature of Florida, after a ses
sion of six weeks, adjourned on the 13th
ints. The session will be memorable for
the importance of its action in originating
a system of internal improvements, by
which the large land fund of the State is
proposed to be subjected to a legitimate
purpose —that of the construction of rail
roads throughout the various sections.
The Gaines Case—New Orleans, Jan
uary Xith.— Mrs- Gains has recommenced
suit to establish herself as legatee under
the will of Daniel Clark, her father, in the
probate court of New Orleaas. i
A statue of Benjamin Franklin is to
be erected in Boston, costing 810,000. '
the sculptor, is at the work,
and it is expected that he will have it com
pleted by 1856. It is to be bronze ar j
eight feet in height. It represents Frank
lin in citizen’s dress, with a cane his
right hand and his cocked hat u’ader his 1
loft arm. The entire cost of B tate and ’
has reliefs will be 818,000, ‘ OBWWs * aa
bALE of Negros.—O"n Tuesday last, a
gang of 60 negros was 9014 by Thoa. M.
Hume, at an aver df r d of 8409; a gang of
70 belonging^tq the estate of Samuel Gour
din, sold by nouin D. DeSaussure, aver
aged 8388,50 ; and twelve valuable ser
vants bale taring to an estate, sold by John
S. Ryan, averaged 8420. Yesterday J 67
out of a gang of 206 were sold by P.' J.
Porcher, at an average of 8306. The re
mainder will be sold to-day.— Charleston.
Ctenrier.
( Large Lump of Gold.—The largest
nugget of pure gold ever found in Califor
nia, was brought by the Daniel Webster.
It weighs 2576 ounces and its value is es
timated at 838,920. It is about fifteen
inches in length and from five and a half
to six inches in width. A company con- r
suiting of four Americans and one Swiss,
were the lucky finders. Mr. Perkins of I
Lexington, Ky., is one of the number,!
and although engaged in mining for two j
years has made but little heretofore. Now r
at one lick he is worth about 88,000, his
share of the lump.— Central Georgian.
M. Hall McAllister at Washing-i
ton. —Amongst the distinguished gentle- J
man not in Congress, who are enlivening the ;
metroplis with their presence at this time,
1 notice the old war horse of the Dcmoc- .
I raey of Chatham, the Hon. Mathew Hall
McAllister, who looks more young And ,
sprightly than he did ten years ago. Mr.
McAllister is now claimed as a son of Cal- |
I ifornia,but I take the risk that the flat- '
i tering vote he received in the Inst Georgia
Legislature for Senator, evidences the I
fact that Georgia is not willing to give
1 him up, at least the Democracy of Geor
