We learn from the Athens Banner of the 29th i inet., and from private sou rocs, that Judge Lump. < kin hue declined the appointment of Judge of the < new Court of Claims, preferring to retain hi* po sition upon our Supremo Bench. There is doubt whether the appointment will be again offered a Georgian. Be ho who he may, he must be a Whig, in conformity to the wise rule which gov-1 erna the appointment, the other two judges being Democrats; consequently we ore, ourselves, in different as to who receives the honor, being con vinced that the President will confer it upon no one Unequal to the duties of tire post. THE AVON TROUPE. The performances of this industrious corps, un dat the management of Mr. McKenzie, will be quite an addition to our city during the ensuing week, and their untiring exertions to please, cer tainly deserve the suppo.t of our citizens. Mrs. McKenzie is an old favorite—we do not mean in years—of the Atlanta public, and sustains every character she undertakes with felicitous effect.— Miss Bt. Clair, has a sweet voice, and executes her songs with a finished taste we could hardly expect from one so young. Her person itions, too, evince a decided talent, and give promise of fu ture eminence in her profession. Mr. McKenzie and Mr. Hall are well known and appreciated by play-goers here, and, are, if anything, much improved since we last saw them. Mr. Scharf is a new star, to us. and makes a flpe impression in his line of characters. His Worm woodin the “Lottery Ticket,” was an admirable performance, and made him a favorite on his first appearance in the character. His conception and execution of his parts pronounce him an experi enced actor. Wo hope the troupe will be liberally patron lied. NOT DEAD. We are rejoiced to learn, through the agent of the “Tennessee Baptist,” that its editor, Mr. Graves, was not, as was reported, murdered, but is alive and well. We have no conjecture as to the origin of such a report. A NEW CABINET. Wo arc often amused at the speculations of the New York Herald, and particularly of its attaches at Washington city. In the absence of facts, the latter are always ready with something “impor tant if true,” to mouse, if it fail to instruct, the readers of that paper. Recently it hns hecn I •gravely announced, that rumors arc again afloat j for a reconstruction, both men and policy, of Mr. j Pierce’s cabinet. The attempt therefore is made to dispose of the present cabinet, as follows : \ Marcy is to bo sent to England; Cushing to > France; Davis to bo Brigadier General; Camp bell is to go to Rome ; Mr. Clclland to China;) Dobbin to Cuba; and Guthrie to Kentucky. ‘ Incur opinion, the provision made for the Sec retary of the Treasury, Mr. Guthrie, is the choi cest of them all. Wc hud rather be tt good Ken tucky fanner, with a plenty of “hog and hominy," j than to be minister at any foreign count, or a cabinet officer nt home. The hitter position, whatever of honor may l»> attached to it, in the estimation of inen, is one of too much responsi bility and labor, to constitute it a desirable posi tion, particularly when there is taken into the ac count, the abuse so freely lavished upon the indi vidual so honored. And wo h ivc scarcely a doubt that Mr. Guthrie thinks so himself, nnd is l perfectly willing to accept a mission to Kentucky, whenever President Pierce chooses Io dispense with hissrrvices. But the hagatrlh of the Her-] ahi is nevertheless a rich affair. The present Ser-1 rotary of State. Mr. Marcy, w- presume, has m> desire to represent this government it the court of her majesty, Queen Victoria. Nor do we be- ’ lieve that the Attorney General, Mr. Cushing. ; would go to France; the Secretary of tlm Interi or, to China; Dobbins, to Cuba ; or C impbell to i Rome. All these gentlemen are now doing ser-' vice to the Government, and each doing it well. . The great mass of the democracy— aye, of th< j people—approve the administration of each one, They are toiling for the public good is hard as any other Cabinet could possibly do, nnd they, we war-i rant almost, will cont.nitc doing s» to the end.— I But from Philadelphia, we seethe new cabinet ] suggested. Here it is. Georye M. Dallas, lobe Secretary of Htrfte ; Howell Cobb, of Georgia, to j be Treasurer; J. <’. Breckenridge, of Kentucky.' to be S eretnry ot War; Gov. Wright, of Indi ana, to be Secretary of the Interior; Mr. Soule to ' be Secretary of the Navy; W. M, Gwinn to Ik 1 Post Master Gener I; nnd Henn A. Wise to be Attorney General. A strong cabinet this, if an other i- to ba formed. No objection t> it this ' aide of tha Potomac, Speaking of it, the writer eays “Os course, Houle l« the < hoice of Dallas, and I ta, in spite es Marcy, st I, a tiv >rite of lire l’re >i dent. \\ ise.it isaup|HMed. will be defeated, and must l»e provided for in the Cub net or in a foreign mission. \on kn<uv, that old Zack Taylor ap pointed Mr. Clayton In ehoes’ h s cabinet; and why should not Mr. Pierce fu’l back upon that plan ! Re|y upon it, there is something of this sort in the wind. Soule has not Ihjcii so quiet for nothing.” misrse this w riter i* well jswted up in mat ters of thia *»rt, as is the Herald's correspondent in refentree to the dissolution of the present cabi net. But we opine each will find himself mista ken, and will have to take back his several asser tion*. No harm will be Jone however, or can be. by these speculation* of th.' ••;>enny-a-liner»" at the Capit.>|. They always paaa for what they arc worth, and if perchance, once in a-while, they hit the nail upon the head, it is the accom plishment of a teat to boastot a twelvemonth af terward*. ( l.i ' due credit then l»« given to them for then tirvleos efforts. Their industry anJ per •tvaranre call for some reward. Anew Cabinet by all msans will soon “turn up again” I NEWS ITEMS ....

A Visit to the Rattle Fields.— A correspondent ' of the New Orleans Picayune, at Brownsville. ' writes: "I have just returned from a visit to the battle grounds of Palo Alto and Resaca de la Palma, but scarcely a vestige remains to denote these fields which redound so much to the gallantry of ; our regular army. On the former field n cannon ball is occasionally picked up, which is the only indication that it was ever used except for the peaceful purpose of grazing the large herds which nt present roam over it. “At the Resaca de la Palma the faint outlines! of the redoubt which the Mexicans occupied on the west bank of tho llcsnca nrc still visible, but I so overgrown with brush and undergrown that ‘ they con scarcely be followed. One or two trees : still show marks of the strife, and a few sherds of! , old shoes and an occasional battered canteen arc ' also to be found in the chappcrel, but there is j nought else to show that here was the scene of one of the most closely cent 'fted fights if the w ar where bayonets Were often crossed, and where I hand to hand fights were frequent, as the scat-; ' trred combatants met beneath the shade of the j sweet scented inimora or amidst the tangled i i bru.i wood." We had the pleasure yesterday, I n:i ys the New Orleans Delta, of an inter-: i view with Edinotnl Lafayette. grandson 1 of the illustrious Frenchman, whose name' is so familiar to the hearts of all Amcri-; i onus, ns the bosom friend and compatriot; iof the immortal Washington. Ail who bear the name if La Fayette must ever be welcome in every pa t of this extended Repub'ic. The gentleman now «oj urn | ing in our city presents other claims upon the kindly regard of our people, in an agfenbleameniiy of nmnnets nnd cordi ality of heart, combined with great intel- ' ligenee and a warm lovo of our country and ' institutions Immense En i ERPirtsE. —The magnetic 1 Iti leeraph b tween Bombay. Madras, and Calcutta was opened on the first of Febru ary The whole enterprise embraces a dis tance of over two thousand miles, and has been completed in a little more than a ! year. The distance from Aden to Bom ' bay is 2.17’* miles, so that with the com pletion of the rail-road across the desert to Suer, and the telegraph from Alexan dria to Trieste, communication from Ixm don to Calcutta can be had in a fortnight’s time toy. It has always thunder louder and the lightning has always been sharper “ out west” than any where else. It snows snowcr and rains miner, too. and , iceentlv. in St Louis, it thundered and, “lightning-cd” during a violent fall of . snow. The effect of the flakes and flashes must have been beautiful. ' What battle does a printer remind ' ( you of* /H-Aer-wiawik, AN INCIDENT OF THE REVOLUTION. There are living in the suuth part of this state, all in good health, ten persons, the children of the same parents, and the only children they ever had, whose united ' ages amount to seven hundred and eleven in the following order . 81, 80. 77, 75, i 73,70,68,66,63 and 58. Their name; is Tucker, aed they belong to one of the . most numerous families in our state. The . family have for a great many years occu pied a tract of laud in the western part of South Kingstown, known as Tucker, | town. There is a curious revolutionary fact I connected with this family, which few of, our readers have ever heard. One of the uncles of the present children, by the num* of Simeon, was a quiet and conscientious fanner, who did not believe it right to do military duty even in “the times that tried men’s souls.” A corporal was sent with a file of men to destrain his cow. — i A man by the name of Burt commanded the squad, and Raymond Perry, afterward, Captain Perry, and father to the present commodore was one of the party. Tucker went into the field alone to head the cow, fired upon him. Oneball struck him in the forehead and he fell instantly dead. Four guns were aimed and two misfired. Perry’s went off, and it was be lieved at the time, and is to this day by the family, that this was the fatal shot. — Ho was then a young man, and immedi ately left the country and went to sea. It was during one of these voyages, whilo returning from Europeas mate of a vessel bound to Newport, that he formed the at tachment for his wife; who was a passen ger in the ship. He took her to Narrs gansett, and carried her on a pillion on horseback from the South Ferty to his father’s. Judge Freeman Perry, and mar ried her. But to return. If any of your readers are curious to know how the family have preserved their health, we are familiar with the habits of only one, the second son ■ of Joshua Tucker, now eighty years old. r He has been a hard-working farmer, fish ermanand gunner —not a temperance man r but always a temperate one. He is now somewhat afflicted with rheumatism, and the remedy which he takes is to go down to the sea with his pole and line, and stand for three or four hours together to his waist in the breakers, “sain-humming” or “grand-humming” whichever is the right term for that method of fishing for’ bass. Prov. Journal. A Curious Misson—Mr. Soule, in one of his letters to the State Department, make sonic singular disclosures. He says that Louis Napoleon, before Lis celebrated coup d’etat, which placed him at the hqad of an empire had concocted with Gcieral Navaez, the Spanish minister, the plan of a mission to the United States, to sound how far this couutry was vulnerable in a military point of view. A secret agent was to be sent with instructions prepared by the Department of Foreign Affairs These ! instructions, duly signed, were presented i to Napoleon Bonaparte, the son of Jerome with a tender of what amount of money he might require to carry them Jout. The latter refused telling Lovis Napoleon that he was not the man for such a work that he was a democrat, and would rather be with the United States than with him.— , The matter was dropped, and has not been resumed since, at least to the knowledge 1 of Mr. Soule’s informant. Mr. Soule him-! self appears to have full faith in the state- ; merit. To remove a State Probate Judge, be- 1 cause, (fg a Corr m issioncr ts the Federal.} Court, he carried out the compact of the i Federal Constitution in 1787,—the George Washington Fugitive surrender Act of, 1793, and the subsequent Fugitive Slave Law of 1850, —is now the very queer pro- i position before the Massachusetts Lcgisla-' turein the case o l 'Loring. It is not denied,-—that Bums wrs a fu gitive slave. Itis uot denied, that the sur. ren Icrwas made un erthe c impact o 11787 I and the acts of Congress of 1793, and of 1850, made in pursuance thereof, —but it 1 ;is alleged that ho, as a Commissioner of; the United State.;, violated an act of the j State of Massachusetts, which prohibited I a State offleer, Judge of Probate, ns he' was, —from thus acting as a Fugitive Slave i Commissioner, (t is the old South Caro lina qu stien of nullification in substances j —the right if a State to nullify nn act of[ the United States The object in thus persecuting Judge Ixiriug i.s obvious to us,—to make it dif ficult. if n*'t impossible, to procure offleors in Massachusetts to execute the Federal compact of 17R7‘ The move is a bold one ' —and we are grieved, inexpressibly griev-j cd to see from the report, that Massachu-; setts opinion is now so overawed by the anti-slaverv urore, that it is likelv to sue* ‘ 1 need Wo do m * know what the .President , of the United States will do in such a case i . —but if ho doos not the whole Fed- ] I oral Guv< rnment to shield, protect, nnd to ■ ; honor h J FeiLral Commissioner of the- United States Court,—the Fugitive Slave l part of 1787 is utterly obliterated, and nullified, in all New England—and in that respect, that region of country here after is be in isolation from the Union, i and nullification of a solemn, Federal ‘ . pledge made by its own greatest statesman and first written into a law by Geo. Cabot one of Massachusetts’ moat distinguished men.—-V Fxprett. The Gaines Case.—Judge Lea, of the! i Second District Court, yesterday gave Lis • decision upon the application for a new trial in this case. The trial is refused, on the ground that the knowledge of a wit-. . ness of the handwritingand signature of an olographic will, by the requirements of our code, should be derived from having often seen the deceased write and sign durins hi* lifetime. The Court excludes all wit nesses who derive their information from , other sources. Senator Wilson on Slavery.—Gen. Wilson, the new U. S. Senator from Mas sachusetts, everybody thought, did modify hia abolition views, a ff-w. months ago. af ter Lis arrival at Washington but this seems to have been a mistake, or else the General has repented, for on Friday even ing, in the course of a lecture, in Boston he said : “If there is anv one here (said the lec ture!, with emphasis) who believes than I am capable of modifying my sentiments and opinions, cherished by me for twenty years either at home or abroad, either in public; or in private, before friends or in ; the face of enemies—l commission him here and now to proclaim it. Send it abroad on the wings of the wind that I am committed, fully committed, committed to the fullest extent in favor of immediate unconditional abolition of slavery, where ever it exists under the authority of the ■ constitution of the United States.’’ THE GALLIPAGOS ISLAND. The El Mercurio de Provincias, a paper ; published at Valparaiso, contains a copy ( of the protest made by the Minister of the ; Peru, the Charge d’ Affaires of France ! and the British Consul at Quito, against the transfer to the United States of any interest whatever in the Gallipgos Islands. The document says, it having come to their knowledge that by a treaty between the Equitorian Government and the United States of North America, by which a pro tectorate is granted to the latter over the Island of Gallipagos, they presented to the Minister of Foreign Affairs considerations against it, what, however, were ineffectual and, considering that the transaction vio lated high interests, irrespective of Equa dor, “and that the Government cannot and ought not to bind itself without the assent of the nations whose interests would be directly or indirectly affected, and reflect ing that their silence might be received as an implied acquiescence that would op erate against the aforesaid treaty, in res pect to the stipulation alluded to, and to every »ther particular that may damage or curtail the political and commercial inter ests of their respective nations.” Gratifying.—So far as can be ascer- tained, but few democrats in Vermont have joined the knownothings, and in many towns these arc leaving. The order is composed almost exclusvicly of office seekers of the old free soil party, the un principled portion of the old whig party, and a few who have professed to bo dem ocrats, but men that cocld not get all the offices they wanted, and a small number of democrats who have been induced to join from one cause or another. 'Phis last number are fast leaving the crdcr. No new accessions are making, and it only re mains for the people to resist a society that can promise no good to the country. Ver. Pat. | .
