CftLlUßlh. Fill DAY. APRIL T.IW9,
Foreign Rclaiioasbhlgs Ordered.
The Diplomatic relations of tbift <loveruuict
with that of Control A roerica are afcraming a com
plicated nature, and present an is#uo of difficult
adjustment. Suspicion attaches to the Admini*
tration that too much confidence has been placed
in the protestations or friendship on the part of
Uar Mpeaty's Minister, #ir Was Oew Owrtey.
who Ixae intervened to defeat the ratification of
the Cass- Irisarri treatr, and the protection of
American interests in Central America. The
•tore suspicion, however, unattended by a sup
ported allegation, by no means proves the dupli
city of oar government in settling her diplomatic
affairs. The question Is not yet definitely as
certained that the British Minister has succeeded
in gaining the ascendency of his government in
Centra! America in the face of the American con
fltruotioa of the 6tayton Btilwer treaty, and that
in the convention concluded by him with M.
Martinet no provision is made for the cession *f
the Mosquito protectorate. Hut were it true, it
doe* not follow that a misunderstanding should
exist between this Country and Great Britain.—
The object of Sir Uora Ousley’s mission to Central
Aw-rioa was to settle the question of the respec
tive rights of the two Countries. Great Britain
having already ceded to Nicaragua the country
along the Eastern coast known as the Mosquito
Kingdom, and to Honduras, the Bay Islands,
thereby acknowleding the American interpret*
Uonof the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, it would he an
agt of had faith on the part Sir Gore Ouslsy to in
sist. upon a British ascendency over those in
tea It.
Lord Dsrhy has already declared that Great
Britain “has no interest whatever in Centra)
America, bey oud that of possessing a free transit
across the Isthmus, which the United tiUte* hav©
■aver disputed.”
And Lord John Kusaeli said : “With regard to
Central America, I am glad to nee the course
which the Government have taken. This phan
tom King of Mosquito may, I hope, tie said to
have disappeared, and we nhali run no risk of be
log involved with that great Republic, the United
H** l **! In any difference oanoerning the various
tribes ocoopying Central America, who are uono
of them worth the lives of 6,000 British cr Ameri
can, * M The English people cordially endorsed
these sentiment!.
In the face of these declarations, the hop# Is
entertained that Great Britain will not insist up
on a protectorate over these island* which she
has long since abandoned. If so, our Govern -
ment will demand that apology, which, according
to late despatches from Washington the President
has already demanded, in eoasonaure with her
dignity and iudepondenoe. The Minister will
have exceeded his instructions and placed his
government in a position of having violated a
solemn engagement. This, however, might be
avoided by Great Britain under the pretence that
the Clayton-Bulwer treaty had not been violated
—that she bad never relinquished a protectorate
over the Mosquito territory and Bay Islands.—
Showing the utter uselesMiiensof that treaty and the
necessity for its speedy abrogation by Congress.
Late despatches from the seat of Government in
farm our readers that the President has ordered
•hP* to the Nicaraguan coast with a view to pro
teet alleged indignities against ths life and prop
arty of our citisens. In the event of a refusal to
eomply with the pencahle demands of this gov
ernment, and to indemnify our citisens for gross
intuits and wrongs, then, Gen. Mirabau Lamar,
our Minister, is directed to close negotiations with
that country, and demand his passports.
Greet Britain will then have an opportunity of
giving that construction to the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty held hy this government, or denying to
tally such as interpretation of that instrument.

From extracts which ws publish to-day, we
may infer that tbo valley of the Mississippi will
be the scene, during the next several months, of
disasters similar to those which abounded in that
quarter in the Spring and eariy Hummer of last
year- The work which has been done upon the
Uvea hy the people in that section is all fresh
and, ooniaquently, is poorly prepared for this
trial of Us strength. The repetition of such ca
lamities mutt have the effect to destroy confi

control the Father of Waters. The bed of the
stream, too, is constantly rising hy roaaou of the
accessions from depositee which it is daily and
hourly receiving. This causa of difficulty will
eoutinue to increase in a ratio corrcspouding to
the rapidity with whloh the fertile lands along its
banks and tributaries are brought under cultiva
tion. Out result from this state of things,already
noticeable,is an increasing demand lor the free and
productive uplands in Mi**islppi, Alabama and
Georgia. A marked remission of the fever for
emigrating to the West has ensued, and ns plan

The English Attempt at lotion tirewlng in Africa.
The editor of the Utica, N. Y. Herald, who is
now travelling to Northern Africa, in n recent let
Ur to bis paper, gives a full account of the Eng
lish experiment of cotton-raising in that coun
try. We annex some extract*, which will be
matter of interest, at least to our southern rea
ders :
Tuis ta, (Barbary .State,) don. 16, 1860.
You know England 1* just now making strenu
ous effort to grow cotton on her own hook. 11-r
present abject dependence upon the Southern
States of America lor that important staple, coup
led with her loud profession of hostility to slavery,
places her in the rather equivocal position ot be
ing, in spite of herself, virtually one of tin* strong
est backer* of an institution ah#offset* o cordial
ly to hate. To escape, if possible, from this de
pendence, she has set t> work to plant, cotton fields
iu ludis, nad portions of Northern and Western
Africa. An association in Manchester, obtained
some twa year* ago, a grant oflnml from the Bey
of Tunis, for the purpose of trying the expert
meat of cotton -growing —an experiment which
has since been prosecuted with tin* energy
for which the Briton is so distinguished
The necessary arrangements were made, agents
were sent out to Africd to set the enterprise in mo
tion, and some eighteen months ago the fir*t crop
was planted.
The tract of country selected is some fifteen miles
west of Tunis, in the heart of u level and exten
sive plain. It is watered by a considerable river,
whose waters if it shall lie found necessary, can
be used for the irrigation of ths soil during the
dry season. Many difficulties were of course, en
countered in tlie beginning. The country ws-wild,
and the Inhabitants were comparatively barbarians
It was difficult to get laborer*, and those who
wore employed were la/y and ignorant of the work
required. Thu Arabs round about! are egregious
thieves, who stole all they could lay hands on, and
even threatened the personal safety of the white
superintendent. Through a blunder, or something
worse, tbo seed failed to arrive until the season
was far advanced. The ground wa#, however,
prepared, and something like a thousand acres
planted the first year. At first it promised well,
but dry weather Hotting in sooner that usual, and
the season characterised, it is said, hy some other
unfavorable characteristics, the crop proved a fail
ure. Home seven bales only were harvested. This,
J am informed, is of fair quality, though by no
means equal to the best or even second best of
onr southern cotton. Most of it is moreover stain
ed like tbo Egyptian cotton, and, would there
for* be quite worthless for the more delicate tab
rics.
The association, by no menus discouraged hy
the failure of ia*t year, have planted ft second
crop, using, I believe, different seed, and some
what curtailing the amount of ground. The ex
perience of a year hH taught them how to avoid
many difficulties, und they profess, some whut
confidently, to bo able to give a better account of
themselves next year. The difficulty, however,
of obtaining the right kind of plows; of comman
ding reliable labor, the long drought of summer,
and the incessant rains of winter, render the suc
ooss of the enterprise, to say the leoal, dubious.
After stating that the management of the nlan
lat ion is in the hands of a former eitir.cn of Lou
isiana, named Rose. wh<> hud spent many years
in tbo busbies* on Red River, the writer goes on
to glvs sonio of the difficulties in- hn> had to en
counter ns follow*:

encounter, since coming here. Ignorant of the

with indignation, upon the Introduction of Eu

Tjtt’ A Hedged *'Bargain*’ beluroa Meaai* Uhb,
Lumpkin aud Brown
The Southern Confederacy, at Atlanta, has
made a grare and aerious charge against Gov.
Brown, of having entered into a corrupt arrange
ment and understanding with Judge John U.
Lumpkin and Gov. Cobb, to the end that opposi
tion to Gov. Brown’# re-Humiliation aud re-e!c
ticra from Cobb aud Lumpkin and their friend#
vt as to cease, and that a# a cooxideration therefor,
on the part of Gov. Brown, be wa* to favor the
friend* of Judge Lumpkin, aidiu defeating the
re-election of Senator Iverson, and in aecuring a
delegation from this State to the Charleaton Con
vention favorable to the nomination of Gov. Cobb
for tho Preaidency. We a#e loth to believe that
Gov. Brown ha# entered into any #ueh arrange
ment. We do not believe him capable of such du
plicity and lolly. There wo# no inducement for
him to make #uch a bargain. He wa# in no dan
ger whatever of defeat from the opporition of
Judge Lumpkin or Gov. Cobb, or any other per
■ou or party. Hi* personal and political antece
dent# aud predilection# would lead him altogether
in a different direction. There wa* no neceoaity
or propriety iu hi# committing himself to nh an
arrangement to secure h|* re-election a# Govern
or. H© wa* strong enough without tb© adventi
tiou# aid to tie d©rivd a *>omhinati<>u, ,
nn*l he knew it. Ju the absence, therefor©, of
motive or reason, wc cannot suppo#© that Gov.
Brown would )>c willing to commit him#elf to a
line of policy, or enter into pledge* for or against
other prominent Democrats for other impor
tant position*, which any man of common sens©
or prude nee must know would engender prejudice
and create <-pp*rMtion to him far greater than
that which wa* to be allayed hy >u©h a course.
That Judge bumpkin ord some of hu devoted
friend# aud follower#, a# well as the friend# of Gov
Cobb, ware discontented at the defeat of the form
cr in the Gubernatorial Convention in )S&7. and
wero diaaffwetad toward* Gov. Brown on account
of hi# nomination in that Convention, wa# well
known, and a# deeply deplored and deprecated
hy th© l)eineratio party throughout the State.—
That this feciing of discontent wa* at on time
violent and vindictive, and wa# likeiy to end in
open hostility to Gov. Brown, we aro not prepar
ed to deny. W© think that it wa# without just
cause, and that it would have been unavailing
and fruitless. Nevertheless, It wa# the privi
lege, as well ns the duty, of Gov. Brown to recon
cile aud remove it, if it could be don© by honor
able means. That a meeting did take place be
tween Gov. Brown and Judge Lumpkin, and a
few mutual friends, in Dalton, a# stated by the
Con/edcrmctf, is doubtleas true. At whoa© instance
the interview wo* held, is wholly immaterial, nor
do we know. Free add full explanations in re
gard to the supposed cause* of difference and disa
greement between theae prominent members us the
party, uo doubt, were mode on lmik side* and to
th© mutual satisfaction of tbo parties. A recon
f iliation took placo—Judge Lumpkin became sat
isfied that he. had been misinformed as to the
comhict of Gov. Bruwu, and that be has no cause
of grief or quarrel with him. He agreed to bury
the batcbct,au*i to act os became a mau of honor
and (rue Democrat, and support Gov. Browu in
accordance with the well-known and overwhelm
ing sentiment of lb© Democratic party in th©
State. Wo are assured upon the beit authority,
and fully believe the assurance, that neither the
Senatorial or Presidential questions were discuss
ed on the occasion alluded to, or formed a part,
either directly or indirectly, of the understanding
entered into by the paitie*. In fai t Gov. Browu
made nd pledges for or against any aspiraut for
office in the State. He entered into no combina
tion looking to th© Senatorial, Presidential or
other election. Hi# only proinfee was that, in all
political arrangement* and official dispensation*,
it© would do justice to th© friend# of Judge Lump
kin, ami would treat them a* li© would treat all
other personal and political tricudfi and Demo
crat*.
To such a promise and such a course o© rcaosnn
ble man eon object. It i* the duty of Gov. Brown,
opposition being withdrawn, and a cordial sup
port given to his administration,. to extend the
right bund of fellowship to every man and every
section of the Democratic Party, and to unit©, #u*-
tain and strengthen it by all fair and bonorabi©
uic-an*. That he wa* not only willing, but auxi
ou*. to remove all ©au*© of di*tra#t and dissati*-
taction from the minds of Judge* Lauipkta and
hi* friends toward- himself, personally, and bring
them into hi* own support of the Democratic
Party in the approaching < anvaas for Governor,
was natural and laudable. That he ha* done so
by frank explanation* and honorable means we
have uo doubt; but that ho ha* compromitted hi#
honor in any way, or entered in the “corrupt bar
gain'’ which has been charged upon him by the
Southern Confederacy WM do not belter*, Thaf
ho is wither opposed to, or has agreed, directly or
indirectly, to aid in the defeat of our distinguish
ed friend, Judge Iverson, at the next election
for Senator, wc have no reaeon to suspect, and
should be very sorry to lea mor believe. That he
ho* pledge*! hiutcclf to support Gov. Cobb for th©
harle#t*>ii Convention, w© have not the atigbtett
idea. He is too well aware of the powerful oppo
sition which such a course would ©ngeuder against
him in th© ranks of tty Ttetnocrati© Party of Geor
gia, to enter into such a combination. Governor
Browu in too prudent and too sagacious a man,
to say nothing of hi* political prepossession#, to
do an a> t which would and in hi# own political
suicide and create discord and disorganisation in
th© rank* of the Party to which he is indebted for
hi* pn>*wnt high position, and to which he looks
for future distinction.
What a Blunder!

Judge Iverson made hi* great *|HHeh ? He saw
what was not to be *©en. We have authority for
saying that Gov. Hammond left the Senate Cham
her aud had gone home and was not present du

regret ourselves, that Mi. Hammond did nut hear
from the lips of the S|n>akcr the sentiments of the
