“I'tider Hiese eircHmstauecs, l earnestly recom

th'-y nmy deem proper, to eniploy the laud and

Another puhjcct, equally timportant, comtnnnil
*d the afUitttion of tha* Henatit at the Inst session
of (Jwu fiwss. The republics ruufh of Hm I ‘nited
Htuti s on thiseontirmnt have, unfortmiafely, been

one or the utlmr ptlfty has und oldainod
puMcsskm of the ports upon to fi.ndgn commercw,
they have seised and eonffivutwd Ameie an vos
sifts and their cargoes in an arbitrary and lawless
manner, and exacted money from American eiti
suus by forced loans, and other violent proceed
iugs, to cimbln them to carry on hostilities. The

and otlier countries, possessing tlie war muking
(tower, can promptly employ the necessary means
in enforce imm* diato redress for similar outrages
upon their subject*. No so the executive govern

wuiil • haw* no power to employ the force on ship

In reference Hi Countrlcs where the local uu
thorilios are strong enough lo enforce the laws,
the dill)cully hen; Indicated call seldom happen;
but whore this i.< not thu uus t >, and tbo local an
thorilios do not posse** the physical power, even
ifrii.y posses* the will, to protect our citizens

that the American Kxocutlve should him self bu

tioii us the neec'sity which may arise fur Ihcexui
Hon of this autbority.
L therefore, earnestly reenmmend to Oongiwss,
on whom the responsibility exclusively rests, to
pa-*< u law before theii udjouriuueut, conferring
on the President the power to protect thelive* and
property of American eitlr.cn* In the eases which
I have indicated, under such rvsfriHfotisand con
ditioiis a* they may deem advisable. Tbo knowl
edge that -uch U law exists would of itself go fur
to prevent tbo outrages which it Is in ten. Jed lo re
dress, and to render the employment of force tin
necessary.
Without this the President may lie planed in a
painful position before the meeting of the next
Congress. In the present disturbed condition of
Me \ ion, and one or more of die other republics
south of ns. no person can foresee what occur
ranee* may take place before that per tod. In rnr o
ot emergency, our ml teens, seeing that they Uu not
enjoy the same protection with subjects of Kuro
penn governments, wfll have just cause to com
plain. On the other hand, should the Executive
interpose, and ©specially should thu result prove
disastrous, and valuable jives he lost, he might
subject himself to severe censure for having as
suiiiod I) pi>wnr not confided to him by the Coti
sthuljun. It ia to guard against this contingency
that I now appeal to Congress.
Having thus reomum ndodto Congress a mean

interest .nut honor of the ermntry, I leave th*
whole sulyeol to their wisdom and diseretion.

N’uw wiictiiw* are these to be drawn ? The
American party at the North box been disbanded,
or f wall- 1 wed by the great Republican whale. Nor
is the niiracalouM restitution of Jonas reserved fur
it. Hefore it* assumption of the name of “Amer
ican,” it constituted the Northern wing of the old
Whig party, and had become so thoroughly abo
litioni/ud that its Southern ullics indignantly and
nohlv deserted it. Such intrinHicall y base metal
from the di:*nffccted Demoerat* ! Never. Tne
grounds of their disaffection present terms ami
conditions which will operate os a bur to such co
alition. Certainly the lUpubllMti party cannot
serve their purpose. A conservative Republican
is a confusion of ideas about as comprehensible as
a sane madman, uu holiest thiel or a sober drunk
aril. We repeat, therefore, that when our Amer
irau friends declare their Intention to combine all
tin; roimrn iiliri elements of Uie opposition, they
ineuii to array nIL th* element* of Hi* op|wsilion,
not discriminating between American*, disaffec
ted Democmta and JtepuWtcanx, or they mean
nothing..
A word in regard to the especial object, of their
malevolence--the Denmoratic party. We confess
an ahatAHienl of our pride in this organ ixatioft. It
has lost much of the prestige of its ancient re
nown. Causes of decay, such a* sflec-M ‘he over

were taken onboard at Punta ltosa. When tbo
steamer touched at the wharf, the Indians were
willing and even eager to get on board. A few
hours before, they were exceedingly dissatisfied,
and manifested considerable opposition to leav
ing. It required the utmost tact of Col. Rector to
induce them to await the arrival nf tho steamer.—
Had the steamer not arrived at the designated
time, they would have betaken themselves to their
euiK.es and fled to thejuugles. Their discontent
was, it is thought, produced by evil-disposed per
sons, whoso trade would stlffer by their removal,
and who, therefore, weroanxious that they should
ruiuuin in the country. Luring the trip they were
perfectly quiet, and were obedient to tbejorder* of

The following resolutions wore introduced and
unanimously passed at a meeting of the oitixeus
of Spalding county, held at (Jriffin on! the 22d
in*t., for the purpose of making public endorse
i,tent of the late speech of Senator Iverson :
Jteolvid, That we heartily approve the manly
and dignified defence of thu South and Southern
i&ihVA mmtft n fib/ 1 ’fleiXVy iifiu'hijft’ktJdiM;
muuliko vindication of their cause in the foe© of
ouruneinfcs, and in opposition to the sentiments
of overwhelming number* ; and that oar thanks
are hereby tendered to him for the noble example
he ha* sot to all who occupy the responsible peti
tion of representatives of Southern State*.
lUiolrul, That wc concur in th* opinion utter
ed by him on that occasion, that when th pres
et* republican party or it* legitimate successor*
.-hall gel possession of all the depot Uncut* of the
tjoveniiiient, “step by step it will be driven on
ward iu It* tnad career until slavery is abolisbc-l
or tbo In ion dissolve.l. 4nu of these two tilings
isos inevitable as doatli.” That “the North in
tends to put down slavery at the South, iK-meably
if they can, forcibly if they must.” “Toat there
i* hut one path of safety for the institution of
-lavcry in the Houth, when this mighty Northern
v it la iic he us fanaticism and folly shall press upon
usj ‘and that path lie* through separation and a
South*rp Confederacy.” “'fliat the eleetjon of a
Northern President, upon n netional and anti
slavery issue will he considered cause enough to
justify xeeoMi*ioii.”
Jh-noh ‘ il, That while we hold it to hu thu “duty
or the Houth to use all proper moans to maintnin
her rigl'b l wirliin th® Onion, with a vi*W to being
justified before the world in resuming the powers
to he lu* delegated lo tllO general government, in
tboevunt she fails to obtain Justice in the 1’nloB,”
it will hu equally her duty to maintain those rights
hy-n separation from such States as may refuse to
/vetignijwj such right*. That the .South ought to
iiiakcuo more Couiproml*e* of her right* either in
(.arty platform* or national legislation. That a
full rH'ognition and uiuintaiuanec of those right*
is paraiuouul to tbu dMOWW of national parties or

The Puhllr Printing.
The joint rc"olatiun which passed the Senate,
a few days since, as reported! by Lr. Fiteb. Ike
chair until of tlie .Senate t’oinmiltue on Printing,
will, if adopted by thu House, (of wipch there is
no doubt,) save the govurnment annually the
sum of between thirty seven and thirty ©igbf
thousand dollars, which has l*eon uselessly ex
pended in UtiffUrniiny the ouniiat documents na
med in the resolution. We were mistaken thu
other day, however, in saying that the passage
of the rr*olnl.u.r<diiiv*|r'bto we*so iffiuMdeifoi) Hie
report of tin* aw to , fleet this de
sirnbie object, and it is hojei| that it will lie pass
ed with the -ante unanimity the joint resolution
named passed the .Senate.
This will effeet a lopping <.fl of almost fitly
three thousand dollars, for which the government
received no value whatever. How such ftn un
noeessary expenditure should have been so long
permitted to exist, is strong* indeed. By tlie ru
port of the pre.-eut superintendent of tlie Publie
Printing, we learn that upwards of one hundred
thousand dollars have bcun paid for double com
position during the last four year* -the amount
of Hte President's salary acUtullj throw n away
and worse, because it has huuu an iudueemeut
for men to enter into corrupt siicculatious tool,
tain the puldiri printing.
All credit is due to Hun. Bowman, the Superin
tendent of Publie Printing, for introducing these
reforms to tho “notice of Congress, which will
eventually save hundreds of thousands of dollar
to the I'nited Status Treasury^—H'asAiMgt.oi

Hal I road Helenrr.
A writer in one of the London scientific jour
nals has some peculiar notions in regard to the
effect of railway travelling upon the earth’* rota
tion. It i* well known, that as tho earth revolve*
on it# axis oneo in twenty four hour*, from west
to east, the Velocity of any point •>* it* surface is
gmotor near tho equator, and less farther from it,
lo’thc ratio or the it>*inc of tJio “latitude. Thus,
according to this ratio, tho diib-rciice between the
relative velocity of the earth in surface motion nt
London and at Liverpool is about twcutli eight
miles per hour: and this amount of lateral ttove
uiuut is to lie gained or lost, as respects the loco
motive, iu each journey, according to the direction
travelled in from one place to the other; and in
proportion to the*i>eed will be the pressure against
the sides of the rails, which, at a high velocity,
will give the engine a tendency to climb the right
haud rail in each direction.

Our Government has been Informed of the In

Tha Cuba qiiestioals being discussed to-day in
the >enate. Mr. Collamer.of Yt., has the floor.
Mr. Mallory, of Florida, is also expeuted to ad
<lre#K the Senate. The Republicans are united iu
(heir Opposition to Cubu, and 1 doubt whether
they would vote tor any proposition tliat would
tend towards its acquisition. The Time* bus ucv
w been too revere in deuoiiuciug the motives of
this party. They have but otui object iu view,
ami that ha# been announced by their great lead
er in hi# Rochester speech. Let the South so
equal to the emergency and put none but fkilh
fut sentinel* on guard ! Tfo Cuba bill wUI not
pas# this Congress. The session is too near the
clo#e and the Republicans will consume all five
time iu speech©*, so a* to prevent any action on
the hill. The Central Auicrieau questiou will so
taken up, perhaps, torn or re w. *
In Hi© Houre. the ANuumittee of Way* and

the treasury note*. A 1-an will mt so #ked.—
The Army bill has l*©*n under discussion to
day.
The course of the W ashington I ‘nion in regard
to the expenditure# ha* very Justly provoked tbe
indignation of the Detnocrallv party. Instead of
advocating an economical administration of the
government, it essays to ridicule every effort to
ward* retrenchment. The consequence will so,
that the Administration, which has no strong hold
in the affections of the party, will have few sup
porter# outside of the Pennsylvania protection
ists.
The question of th© Presidency is sometime#
dtciMsed here. Freni all that I can gather. I am
of opinion that .Steihknh, of Georgia, and Lank.
of Oregon, are the most prominent democrat# tor
the position. The courae of the first ho# been
every way unexceptionable to the South, while

He was hastening with speeJ in his march,

A'cry grave apprehensions arc everywhere felt
in the Southern part of the Republic as to the
result.
The reactionary or church party arc every

It is believed that if Vera Crux falls, the Lib

They have still, however, strong foothold* on
the other side, whither the Juarez Govern men
will at once proceed, to establish anew capital,

Napoleon In Africa
The .Vhitesis compelled to dissent from tbeplea
.-aut but utterttf ill fouH'lcd conclusion# of the
Hritish press, that “France is about to abandon
tle African stove trade” to deal henceforth ex
elusively in Chinese Coolie* and Sepoy (prisoners
<>t war. The American press ha* copied and ac
cepted this delusion in good f<h from the leading
jsmdon journals, which, however, uever could
have believed anything of the kind themselves.
It ia nowepeuly argued by f the French pres*
that the introduction of even eight ©r tea million#
ot Africans iu tropical America, and in French
colonic# of the Old World, would be nu affair
much less costly and difficult thau the seige of
Sebastopol, while it would stimulate the commerce
-tud manufacture* of France to a hitherto unheard
of extent.
The Nicaragua canal project has a three-fold
object: French supremacy on the Isthmus, the
employment of French capital in the introduction
and use of African labor on the canal, in the
mums, in the unequalled sugar lands ami uusur
passed • otton land* of Nicaragua, aud finally the
permanent occupation of the Isthmus by a pre
ponderating population of the inferior race*,
whom slotn of social and political equality would
nnd. r ineerpration with our Fnion an impossible
event.
France intends to eiaiiu and colonise the mag
nifieent island of Madagascar, who central ridge
“f well watered nnuntodtisia fully capable of sup
plying tho loom* ot France with ail the cotton
they now buy of u*.
The slave trade is in full operation : the canal
project is moving on under the silent but decided
auspice* of the “Arbiter of Europe;” *mi the Island
of Madagascar is quietly made a colony of France:
•*nd it is in this character that Prince Napoleon
nM*Ni *t*enj th> co/ohim. informs the world thjtt
this colony. Wish the t’omore Islands, which
France filibuster* witl\ Madagascar, are not to be
despoiled of their laborer . The masse# of those
islands are the slaws of their chief* as matters
now stand, nnd a string, resolute monarch like
Napoleon 111. has a splendid amount of raw ma
terial on hand for the construction of a richly
productive colony in Madagascar and tho Como
ro Ulands. The East coast of Africa, at a day's
sail Ireui these new colonies, I# a fine reservoir for
the supply of additional labor when required, nnd
therefore tbe “*a*t coast of Africa” is also barred
Ut the slave trade by the same decree of January
fith, Iftfttf, which protect* Madagascar and the
Comoros from bnth French and foreign incur
sion*.
This is the real explanation of Prince Napo
leon’s letter, which the British pres* sends over
tA its credulous American cousins as an indica- i
tioa that France is about tu give up the African
slave trade, and take to Chinese and Sepoys for
that traffic. Many of ouruul* have caught at
this silly bate.

Four eases remained on the ducket uudispoM i
us yesterday morning, aud it is probable the
Court will adjourn finally to-day.
In the case es Causey vs. -AVilcy Banks A Cos.
from Crawford, the Court granted anew trial
on the ground of error iu the charge of the Court
below. _ , . ,
In delivering the Lumpkin, J.. said
that iu charging the'Jury the Judge used the
expression, ‘‘Fraud cannot be presumed—it tnuft
be proven. He thought that while th* expression
waTto bu found in the Reports, and was frequent
ly used by Judges, it would be better to say that
while fraud must be proven, the proof may be in
ferred from circufostanees—that the first expres-
sion wus too strong—it might mislead the jury
they might suppose from it that positive testimo
ny w** required to make out a case of fraud.”
In ease of Macon and Western Railroad vs Jus.
M. I>avia, tlie judgment was affirmed. The main
point grew out of the following state of facte.
James M. Davis administered jointly with the
widow of intestate, but brought n action against
the road without including the Administratrix.—
Before th* trial of the core the widow married,
lviWJfliV plaintiff to insert the name of the wid
ow with Davis in tho action, and then also per
mitted it to he stricken out on the production
of the record of the proceedings of the
Ordinary of Crawford—to all of which Defendant
in Court below objected. The *Bupreme Court
held that all the motions were useless, that ou
the mi-rriage of the Widow, tho sole right of ac
tion survived to Davis, the administrator, and af
firmed the judgment.
In tlie case us Holton the Court decided that
when a party was arrested on a capias ad satist'a
cieuduin, and gave prison hounds bond and after
ward* was arrested on second ca. *a., and gave a
second prison bounds bond, and being denvered
up on the first bond by his securities, and escap
ed before the ex pi ratio uof the second bond - held
that the securities ou the second bond were re
leased -the law having taken the prisoner into
custody and placed him in Jail, the securities were
not liable.
In Phillips vs. Htewart. Uie judgment was af
firmed. In Flandors vs. Meath the judguicut

A letter in the N%w York Tribune, from tlrin
n!l. lowa, gixes the particulars of a shocking
murder and suicide near tlint place, on tho 9th
iusl., hy Lieut. Roane, of the U. 8, army. Roane,
it seems, wa# under the influence of delirium tre
mens, and hence while in the office of a railroad
company, with a wildexprescioo deliberately fired
at a .Mr. Haw* who. full dead, with a single excla
mation, “0 my tlodi” the lutll entering his heart.
He then pointed to another person in the room,
who was not. able to wrest the pistol from him and
who fled by the door, and returning to peep in at
the window, saw Lieut. Roane, the murderer, fall
by a foil from hi* own pistol, deliberately placed
at his temple. The murderer and suicide said he
ho was on bis way to Washington on a furlough,
and bad a letter to the President.

a story, which would seem to confute the theory
of the Thane. We ask the attention of the facul
ty, and the phrenologists to the case.
It is that Janie* Campbell a laborer in the em
ploy of George 0. Irvine, Esq., of Dunn County,
whose brains were literally knocked out by tbe
falling of a tree, some six weeks ago, and strange
—••wr'vnn arm living, iffit Da# regained
all hi# faculties, and bids fair to recover bis usual
sound health. Dr. Crocker of Dunnville the sur
goon iu attendance, thus describe* the case: “I
found the patient lying insensible, with a large
hole broken into the left aide of the skull just over
the ear, both tho left frontal aud parietal bone*
shattered, and two pieces, one an inch ami a half
by two inches square, driven cotnpletly into the
brain, and (portions of the brain protruding.
After removing the fragments of the bone, 1 then
removed three-fourth* of a wine glass of brain, in
conjunction with Uirco piece* of the tree, which
had also been driven quite into bis bead. From
the first there wus a copious discharge of thin wa
tery fluid from tbe ear, of course through the
Eustachian tube, I considered the case ho|lcs,
as tbr several .lay* after the first dressing, the
brain continued to uow out, ami piece* as large
as a w alnut sloughed off before the wound began
t<* cicatrize. The case present* also a remarkable
mental phenomenon which will interest phevnolo
yit. The patieut before the accident, wo# never
known to sing or whistle a tune in his life, but no
sooner was he able to speak than he began to
sing with perfect correctness, and now displays a
taste for music amounting to a passion.

fused (sav* the Montgomery Cam/d*ration,) to
permit the “sparring” matoh advertised to
come off here between the above named individ
ual# on Saturday evening last, and consequently
the “lover# of the exhibitions of fisfiana” were
disappointed. We take it that the visit of these
men to the South ha* not proved very satisfacto
ry to them, forth© Mayor’of Mobile foribid their
exhibition in thateity, ami we suppose they have
met with n like reception at all the other South
era dtie* they have visited. Our Southern mu
mcipal authorities seem to make no distinction be
tween a mere sparring match and a real “*t-to”
in the usual brutal style, and are therefore deter
mined to pvi no encouragement to the sport# of
old and New Kngland.

probable that the verses were composed about tbo
end of the seventeenth or the beginning of the

did not obtain the heroine for a wife; abo wa*
