A- has already been made known. Kan Runnels, the new Consul to Sail Juan, took important des patches to Minister Lamar and the officers iu com initm) of onr Home Squadron. These instructions have been reiterated and struiigtheried by <lo. patches sent still more recently. Our Minister is to demand the immediate resto ration of these steamers to the Transit Company, ainplo indemnity tor the damage done by the de struction of tho budges and other property on the route, uml any other damage that may have been sustained iu cousequence of the illegal -ei xare aud other highhanded proceedings ordered by Mm nine/..

The instructions also back up very strongly General < ass's despatch of lust August, and as sure Martinez in very unequivocal terms that this goveruuieiit wiil protect the rights of the Ameri can Transit Company. The government has definitely resolved that the Tra*. if route shall be opeued,aud has issued n circular to the several companies, to ascertain upon what terms the California mail can he ear ned by this route from the ilOth of September, IM/.tf, to the .'loth of June, 100. The company must have tho privilege of transit from Niear agwa. when onr government will protect the com pany as far as our guns will go; and if things should womc to u collision, there is hardly any question but that (lie naval commanders would take the responsibility of landing sufficient for ces to protect the passengers, mails and treas ure.

The vast importance of the relations between | the two countries would cause me to tremble in entering upon the duties of the highly honorable post to w hich the confidence of my Sovereign has called me. I nui sustained, however, by the con vietion that the good will and kind feeling which ‘ animate the government aud the people will reme dy my personal deficiencies. 1 must entreat you, sir. to view with indulgence tho humble effort* which l shall constantly make to merit your ap probation and to give < fleet to tho cordiul and friendly intentions of the (Jueeu aud of her Maj esty's government. 1 have now. sir, the honor to place in your hands tho letter of credence which her Majesty has been graciously pleased tv intrust to my core. Upon roceiv ing the letter of credence from Lord Lyons, the President made the following re marks ; My Lori*: I give you a cordial welcome, as too diplomatic representative of your sovereign, to the government of tho United States. 1 receive with much gratification the expression of 11 *• Majesty's hearty wishes for tho welfare of the United States, as well as her earnest, desire to maintain tho friendship and good understanding now so happily existing between bur respective governments. These assurances, proceeding from a Sovereign who is universally esteemed by the people of the United States, and by none of thorn more ihuu myself, are calculated to produce the best effect on tlic relations between the two coun tries. On our part, these sentiment.* are cordial ly reciprocated towards Her Mi\Joty and the llrit ndi people. You do not, you cannot, appreciate too highly the importance to the people both ••!

The Ist Class were granted leave of ahseneo until a certain hour to visit thu Court room in the oily of Marietta where was fit be pro nounced a sentence against a culprit. Con irary to exportation the ease was delayed and the Cadets remained beyond the time for which leave was granted. This act of disobedience was surely a grave offence in tire eyes of all military men and in an Institution where not only the spirit, but tire very letter oi lire law had to bo olioycd. The quo mu'mo in this transaction was tho cause of offense more than tho time lost in be ing absent from quarters. A Court-martial bad no other duty than t.> tiud tho Ist Class guilty of a disobedieuee of orders upon sufficient testimony. The mercy of the Court in this particular instance may or may not have been granted according to the motives w hich actuated thu offenders to trails gross the rules. The discretion of the Court could have been exercised without a breach of its dignity or sell respect, if it were showu that the Cadet* intended no reflection upon the officers or direct violation of tho spirit of the leave of absence granted. It is a matter of congratulation with the friends of this Htato Institution that it has a corps of flue of ficers at its head. They are well-known for thoir character, position and capacity to teach. If the Superintendent, however, was a man of less sen - sitiveness and impulse uud cooler judgment and discretion, the Institution, over which he presides w ith much credit, would bo more prosperous aud flourishing. Maim;act tiring at the South. Tho question bus been repeated quite often, re cently. why do n<*t manufacturing establishments flourish at the South ? Wo think the query eu pablo of solution without reflecting disparagingly upon theprwiitnbU-nch.’ us the hu-incs*. It. i.-. perhaps, proper to state that, it the question as- Mtmes, as it seems to, any great diflcrcurc be tween the results ,| that employment in tlm Northern and Southern States, and asserts its invariable success in Ihefonm r and uniform fail ure in the latter, it assumes vvliat i- not true. The manufacturing records, wc imagine, would not exhibit a very satisfactory illustration of the thrift of ynnkcydoui. Yet il is, doubtless, true that the largest proportion of failures occur in the South. One reason for thi%is, that the term fail are docs not bear an identical signification in the two lati tude-, or, rather, the facts which outer into and compose tim meaning <.f the term me ditto rout. In common, business parlance, that enterprise is denominated a failure when the capital employed therein does nut yield a remuneration equal to the general price ot money. In the two sections of the country this standard is not the same. At tho North, the employment which yields an annual return of four or five percent, is cotmdt-r ----/ cd remunerative, while, at tho .South, miicli a dividend would hu submitted to only until a change of in vest incut could be made. Another and, perhaps, tho chief reason is that in the North, such establishments are put in mo ti<m after the proper manner. The buildings and machinery are paid for, and a sufficiently large cash capiiul is furnished with which to operate. With us, on the contrary, it is generally the case that the building- and a portion of the machinery arc paid for, and, in ibis imperfect ami maimed condition, the mill is left to complete itself, with its meager earnings, and provide the material for manufacturing. The consequence i-, that limy are forced to borrow money at from Bto 12 percent, and, as they arc frequently obliged to submit to a ruinous sacrifice on their goods, or dispose of them upon long time, thej-adopt tbo latter, contract bad debts, and take many other steps on tho beaten road to bankruptcy and ruin. Wo happen to bo acquainted with tlm early history of two of those institutions, and such is uu epitomo of tlm brief and troubled existence of each. Apart from such difficulties, ■which arc by no means necessary, bore is no reason why man uliicCuring should not be eminently profitable in the South. Tho raw in ate rial is certainly cheaper, tbo price, of living cheaper than at tlm.North, and the difference in tho wages of labor too incorftdri erahle to be estimated. Tho fact that success has always rewarded tlm business, when If has been begun upon the proper basis and conducted with becoming energy, it- matter of enrollragoment to cupihiliHe to embark in it. If any arc skeptical in reference to the latter proposition, wc can de monstrate its truth by an uppeul to several eases in point in ami near this city. Harris fount) Superior ( otirf.

Atari AVur! By the arrival of the Arabia, yesterday, iui portant news is brought from the Old World. Austrian troops are in motion for Italy, and Franco is much excited. Sardinia, with whom Austria is engaged, is apparently unxiousfor war; having received, with disapprobation, the pacific declarations of Napoleon in lire Moniteur, which gave such hopes of peace. It is a source of regret witii all the tYiendaufConstitutional freedom, that Victor Emanuel, who has contributed so much to European progress and civilization, should now deluge Europe in blood to gratify a selfish am bition and thirst for territorial aggrandizement. Piedmont has not been invaded: Austria has committed no act of aggression. The Austrian troops were ro inforowd only after an alliance was formed with France hy her enemy and Louis Na poleon had made his New Year's day speech to Karon Hubttor. Victor Emanuel, no doubt, thinks that Savoy and Piedmont, the Duchy of Genoa and Sardinia too small a place for so great a per sonage. France is in sympathy with him. The war, it seetus, has begun. Austria vs. Sardinia and Franco. Echo Prisoners. Though opposed at this tinre to a re-opening of the Slave-trade, it is n matter worthy tho congrat ulations of ttie South, tiial the prisoners recently tried ill Columbia, ri. C'., for piracy, because en gaged iu the slave-trade, have been acquitted.— Tho laws must boobeyed, but the crime ought to be adequate to the punishment. Slavery is a di vine institution. Few Southern men will apolo gise for it. Slaves, iu old time, went held by the Priests. “A eojourner of a priest or a hired ser vant, shall noteat of the holy thing. Kut if the priest huu miy mud with hie money, he shall eat of it, aud he that is horn in his house, they shall eat of it” (Lev. XX11. 10.11). They might be bought of the Cnnuaniios around or of strangers living among the Hebrews. “Both thy bond rue n uud thy bondmaids, which thou shall have, ehnll of th> heathen that lire around about you ; of them shall ye buy bondtnen and bondmaids.— Moreover, of the children of the Htraugers that do sojourn among you, of them shall ye buy Jtc.” (Lev. XXV). Thu* were slaves recognized as “property” und “money*” by Holy writ. It runs through the Bible'and it would scarcely com mand the faith of tbe world, if it sanctioned “pi racy.” Founded upon the Bible, ns all our laws are, it is not expected that Southerners at least will hang those who take bondmen from among the Heathen. Kut n<> argument is inten ded in this paragraph. Our only object is to bring into notice a law, which is tbe mark of Cain upon our brow ami which ought to be erased from the Statute book*. It was permitted to be engraft ed us a law, when lueu could not distinguish between property in elare* and property in chattel and when slavery whs unjustly regard ed as acaueer in our bosom. Those times, be it said to the praise of Christendom, have passed a way amidst the civilization uud intelligence of the prevent day. Mukrogre Superior Court.

Number 17 following communication from an old whig, concerning the management of tho Western fc Atlantic Railroad, will be rend with interest: PLANTER S HOTEL, ) Con murs, Ga., April 20, fob J To the Editor * q/” the Time*. Gkxtlcukx : Notwithstanding I am citizen of another State, and an entire stranger to the peo ple of Georgia; still, I hope it iun,y nut he eo;.§ sidurud as undue presumption on my part, in of fering for consideration, the opinions of an hum ble individual, upon tho merits of your Gov ernor. Since visiting Georgia, I have had occasion to puss oVcr the Western fc Atlantic Railroad sever al times, which afforded abundant opportunity for thorough information upon the merits of its system of management and the character of its employee*, which is all we require iu order to ar rive at a correct conclusion as to the capneity and worth ol those in chief authority. During a stay ot over two membs upon the line of the road, 1 !iu\e hud tbe pleasure of making the acquaintance of two of the officer only, Mr. I.e Uardy, the Engineer in Chief, and Greageut at Chattanooga. Hero, I Would remark, that H loss of either of these gentleman, to the road, would indeed be u loss to the State. Tho Uouductorr of passenger train* are vary attentive to business, remarkably polite and courteous to passengers, without being obtrusive. Tire engineers are amoug the w*t intelligent und eapuble to be found, and the *aine may be said of the other responsible operatives, l’bc machinery aud rolling stock seem to be kept iu good condition, and under the manage ment of Mr. L Hardy, tbe road bed is rapidly aosinning a number one coaditiou. Ido not wish to be understood as pronouncing tbe manage ment of the Slate Road am perfect in every par ticular, but I will make this assertion without fear of successful contradiction, the “Western A Atlantic” is the best managed railroad that I have seen, as yol, south of the “Baltimore and Ohio,” uotwithstanding 1 have traveled over a great portion of tire (Southern roads, mostly in \ irgiuiu, Kentucky, Teuuessue aud Georgia, aud have been tor *oino years, familiar with their different systems of management. Aud uot only these, hut having exutuiued. at different times, the principal mads iu the New England, the Western and Middle States, 1 4*nn also state, that there are numbers of roads iu those localities, that are conducted in an infinitely inferior manner, when compared with the Georgia State Rood. Thu writer of this, having spent the greater por tion of hi* life in connection with the manage ment of railroads, fuels a degree of security iu ex pressing hi* opinions upon that subject, at least. \nd certainly uo one will accuse hiui of an at tempt to uwurtl undue praise to either Governor Drown or Dr. Lewis, when he states that he has ever been an uncompromising Whig, and at this t ime, most earnestly desires, and expect* to uurlc for, a re-union of the old whig party. Kut para mount to all party considerations and political preference, should ever be held sacred aud pre eminent, that high-toned honor which will ever frown upon that class of place-hunters, whose ouly road to the goal of their desires, lies over the vir tues and merits of their opponents. Kut I am happy to know that it is uot my wbigfriends who are attempting to take undue advautnge of Gov. Brown. If there is n whig iu the State who can defeat the present Governor, 1 say let him ruu by all means, provided he will pledge himself to con tinue the policy now practiced upon th© Stute Road, —that no man shall be either employed or dismissed simply on account of bis political pref erences, but tiiat every one shall stand upon his merits; and never permit Gio road to become a political gambling machiue, whereby the inter ests of the people must sutler in order that the par ty iu power may rule, it is doubtless a depar ture from this old rule iu politics, that has (nude the Western A Atlantic Road a solitary iuutance ofgood management upon either a railroad or u canal, when under tire control of a .State Govern ment. I have heard certain individuals complaining of thu little bit of assistance, or rutber favors, that Maj. Mark A. Cooper has received from the Wertern A Atlantic road. Well, all 1 have to say in reply to such is, that, for every dollar that Alaj Cooper has so far received from tbo State, she will eventually get fire in return. I wish there were /ice thmieand mure Alark A. Coopers in the South. If there were,alt our talk of “South ern independence” would umount to something. My opinion is. that we had better have fewer “Conventions” amt more Manufacturing Associa tions, by which means the great mineral regions of Georgia. Alabama and itmicooe, which is mure than equal to that of the entire A'orth , could be made uvuilalde. A. liiil-.Muver) hxvltemenl In Texan.
