There to but Htlle U any doubt, from oirouio

convention or treaty between the L’nited Htatr*

This treaty will probably be confined mainly
to the. I’nlted Htat* s transit over Mexican terri

together with provision for adequate means of
protection.

provision will tm made for the satisfaction of the

Judge Ivrreon on tbr Oregon Kill
Editor* EiUfuirr-r ; Your weekly issuo of the

that writer. With the saroaniu audpersonal vitu
peration of the writer, 1 have nothing to do, ex
cept to my that 1 am satisfied they uro unjust,
and I think in Him! taste.
“Georgia” charges Judge Iverson with having
voted for t-iio Oitgou bill, containing a provision
excluding slavery, and he appeal* to the record
to sustain tho charge. I know not to what record
“Georgia” refers, but this 1 do know, that the
yeas and nays ou the passage of that hill are re
corded in tho Journal of the House of Represen
tatives, Ist Session 30tb Congress, at page 11.'>5,
2d August, 1848, and that tho name of Jtldgo
Iverson, together with every other member from
this State, is found in the negative. Ho much for
tho record on which this charge of “Georgia” is
founded, and so much for the charge itself. If
the other charges made by “Georgia” arc as
groundless ms this one, he has certainly made up
a I Midget of blunders.
I was an old line Whig, afterward* a mctnWr
of the American party, and am now in the ranks
<>f the Opposition party. lam opposed to Judge
Iverson in politics, but T am his friend and ml

Mr Akin In t olambas.
This gentleman, the Oppwiiisn candidate for
Governor, oddresiscd the citizens of Oolambus
Friday, at 11 o'clock. He was introduced by
the Hon. G. E. Thom#*, f© whose address we
have no objection, except tbet it was rather long.
Mr. Akin made a plain, straight forward speech,
now and then losing himself, as he “wrapped
up to the flag of bfecountry.” When thus soar
mg, the speaker was rather sopbomorical and
AgoraUve to bo loudly applauded by a matter of
fact sort of people.’ He alluded to bis being no
speaker that be wae tho candidate of no particu
hir party that “Democrats, Whig*, and Ameri
cans” would warmly support him—discussed the
Cincinnati platform—Gen. Cass’ letter—squat
ter sovereignty and paid a tribute to Judge Iver
son. There was nothing that the speaker said to
which w would object, except hi* assertion that
Gov. Brown's management of the Htate Hoad was
a “Ai tmbuy.” With an air of candor the speaker
paraded the reports of the receiptt of the W'ce
tera and Atlantic Railroad, and showed that in
1H57, R was one hundred thoueand dollar* more
then at u subsequent period under Gov. Brown
Leaving upon tho minds of rnuny us his hearers,
that this amount of money was uiado and junto
into the Treat llry under other administrations.—
Gov. Brown deserve* the more credit for eoono
miiiwj and reducing the expenditure* U> no low a
figure, as to put more than thirty thousand dol
lars |*er month in the Htate Treaeury.
Why did not Mr. Akin produce the expendi
ture* of the Road ? Here's the difference ; The
expenditure* are less, as well as tho gross receipt*
are less under Gov. Brown's administration, and
yet, when wo deduct the former from the latter,
We have wore than three hundred thoueand dol
lar* laid away in the Treasury, than we had un
der previous administrations, and with this sur
plus money from the Htate Road, the tare* have
been reduced t One thing cannot be denied, and
that to, that there never was so much money paid
into the Htate Treasury to remain until disposed
ofhy the Legislature, as under Gov. Brown's ad
ministration ! Wo challenge Mr. Akin to dis
prove it!
This to the only point of Mr. Akin’s address
that we cre to notice. We do not think be will
create mm to cnUiu.durm in his speeches over the
State. He is a clever, fine gentleman, we un
derstand, and trust thal our friends will give him
a hearing wherever he goes, lie exposes himself
to many shots from the enemy, but is so inoffen
sive and pleasant, that we bave'ut the heart our
selves to inflict the wound. Let him canvas l the
Htate, and let the democratic paper* he for boaring
towards him. Mr. Akiu is no politician, and
hence his awkwardness to dismissing quectioii*
of so grave a nature. The audience at Temper
ance Hall, speaks woll for the courtesy of Our

Treasury and the Htate Itoad.
Arithmetic is a branch of Kiiglisb education
xs worthy the mastery of the politician ns the shop
keeper. Especially are its uses indespoiisaldu to n
correct administration of our State Government.
Possessing so much merit, it Is nmortheleH* lim
ited and circumscribed. Arithmetic can 101 lus
with unerring certainly our income ; it i* equally
at fault in pointing out to us the best method to
save or economise it. Arithmetic can tell us our
expenditures, lint Is dumb as to the means of con
tracting or reducing iu Ail has not Imjcii accom
plished when we have arranged our receipts and
expenditures in two parallel columns, connected
hy the diagonal line, which shows how far the
one exceeds the other. The utility of Arithmetic
has uot yet been demonstrated. It is the putting
into practice of muthcunitftal deductions—learn
ing wisdom, prudence and economy from a simple
statement of figure*.
We have arisen from the perusal of many ar
ticles designed to show that tho present adminis
tration of tho State Rond was a failure, with the
conviction that this truth, obvious as it up|>oars,
has never |>enetratod the minds of our opposition
opponents. They rail at Gov. Brown's manage
tnent of our State interest*—complain that the
reccdpts of the W. &. A. Railroad have been lar
>um iii.wgfißWTlfWlt77fimftlfia to show that the
same amounts go into the State Treasury. An
income without a profit is no iuoouie at ail. Rev
enue from the State Road unequal to the expen
diture is no revenue at all. A plantation with
SIO,OOO income and SI,OOO profits, is not so mon
ey-making us one with $6,009 income and $2,000
profits. This is the case with Gov. Brown. The
receipts of the State Uoad are uot so great as un
der preceding administrations, while the actual
profits arc inure than double.
His arithmetic has been of service. Then “give
unto t/uisar tin: things which are Ctusar**!” Let
the Governor of Georgia get his deserts. This is
what the friends of eoouomy ask at the hands of
the opposition. No more, no less !
The next House of Itcprcsrnt attic*.
lu tho next Congress there will he, from the
lights before us, one hundred and thirteen Rep
resentatives, eighty-nine Democrats, ten Anti-
Lecouiptou Democrat* ami twenty four Opposi
tion. Una hundred and uiucteen votes constitute
a majority. Thus the Republican* will lack six
votes to elect their Speaker and t’lerk. They
rah'ulate to unite with them a few North Auleii
cans, aud perhaps, the Auti-Lecomptou Dorno
orate. Should the election us President be thrown
into (he House, Kentucky and Tennessee, both
democratic State* by Itf.ouumajority, hut having
a majority of Opposition men in Congress, will be
counted for the Opposition. The vote by States,
then, stand os follow* :

It is conceded by all to be the most splendid
hotel in the world. It occupies a whole block,
and is built with as much elaborateness os money,
taste, and iugonuity will allow, and contains 530
rooms, intended to accommodate more than 70<i
people. Everything has been done with a view
to comfort and safety ; and. as to the furniture, no

Among the novelties of this establishment is a
vertical railway to convey guests from the first to
the upper floors, upon a plan which admits of no
possibility of accident.

Another Out rage on thr Transit
The California mail, in coming from San Fran
eiseu was attacked by a band of lawless natives
in the State of Juiciuton—attacked the mail par
ty, overhauled the mull, and also some of tho bag
gag** of the passengers. Finding no money in the
mail, they took one of the passengers and robbed
him. The robbers were thirteen in number. They
cut the mail bags open, but the letters were all
put bock afterwards.
This trip of the transit has been made in 84

From the St. Louis Republican we extract the
following:
The river here is falling slowly. In the 21
hoursending at dark last evening, it receded
about two inehes. Seven und a half feet in the
channel is the last report of tho river out to Cai
ro. The officers of the Belfast, from Lusulte, yes
terday, report the river falling, with seventeen
inches on Spring Creek Bar. The upper Missis
sippi is falling from Bt. Paul down, with forty
inclio* on the Lower Rapid*. The Missouri is
falling and becoming exceedingly bud. There is
four feet in the chanuel from St. Joseph to the
mouth and the water very hard to find.
Pun is ii mk xt or a Soldi kk.—A letter from
Fortress Monroe, of the lith in*U, has the fol
lowing :
To-day another private was undergoing the
sentence of the Court. The finding was that he
should walk near the guard house two hours daily,
carrying u knapsack with the word “thief” in -
scribed thereon, that he should forfeit his pay,
undergo confinement in the guard house, be
hrnuded with the letters “D” and “T.” signifying
deserter and thief, receive 35 lashes on the bare
hack, and lie drummed nut of the garrison.
Whilst moving up and down bis prescribed beat,
the culprit seemed deeply mortified and dejected,
and was careful when gHted at to concent the

SaKAToOA Sl'RlMtt.H, Aug. 241, ’jfi.
Dear Times : A stay of two weeks m the great
commercial Metropolis of the Cnion,* completely
satisfied me. I wandered through ita crowded
streets, visited t ii* magnificent stores, splendid
Avenues and spacious park*, its theatres, galle
ries of art aud suburban beauties, and left with
out a solitary regret. The companionship of sev
eral Southern friend* made the visit tolerable,
even so long. It requires in one a different ner
vous constitution from my own, to enjoy life in
New York. I cannot, for the life of me, contract
a relish for its eternal din and ceaseless stir, and I
have such ajcurfou* organisation that 1 need a
little sleep—oocasionaily. I acknowledge no
fellowship with “tired nature’s sweet restorer” in
Gotham. You can imagine what relief it waste
find myself on board one of the magnificent
steamers that ply .between New York and Alba
ny, Ascending the Hudsou. The scenery on this
river is proverbially beautiful. It has. by gen
eral consent, been erected into a standard of com
parison for whatever is sublime in nature or ex
quisite in art. For twenty mile* on either side,
neat cottages and splendid mansions crown tho
imposing eminences. Here the millionaires es
cape from tho confusion and dust of the eity, aud
fßey'taKe tho Hudson River Knjjroad, and, in a
few moments are forgetting the cares of metro
politan life in.the comparative solitude of these
beautiful resort*. A little higher up, on the
western side of the river, begin the Falisades.—
These are perpendicular elevations of rook rising
from the water’* edge to a height varyiug from
300 to 800 feet. They extend a distance of 30
miles, allowiug an occasional interception of their
uniformity for a landing, to which the inhabi
tants of the back country can bring their pro
duce, and where they can receive their supplies.
They engage the observation of the traveler from
their commencement till they break off, by im
perceptible gradations, into a wider, more undu
lating and varying scenery. Fer ten utile* the
|iroS]MM*t increases iu picturesquenes* and sub
limity till it reaches a culnjiuation at West Point.
At this enchanting spot I suspended my Journey
fora day. A large company of visitors had pre
ceded me, ninl. from the meagre hotel accommo
dations. we were uncomfortably jammed. The
promeuades, however, were ample, and the ob
jects of out-door interest being numerous and at
tractive. the crowd was not a very serious incon
venience. The cadets, as they always are, during
the mouths of July and August, were in camp.—
During this period, they are subjected to the
m*st rigid military discipline. They perform
guard duty, uight and day, and appear undress
parade every morning aud afternoon. Un the
latter occasions they make a beautiful and truly
wonderful exhibition. I have often admired the
evolutions in the uianuel and marching exercises
of our volunteer militia, hut I am sure I have
navar seen the precision of movement achieved by
the cadets at all approached, anywhere. An hour
is devoted every morning to Artillery drill. I
had but a vary conffised and imperfect conception
of this practice, anil enjoyed the opportunity to
witness il. About SO horse* were brought upon
the plain, each pair provfiled with a rider, and at
tached to the carriages four to each. At the
word, to the astohuishment, if not apprehension
of the inexperienced beholder, the horaes are
urged to full speed with the death-dealing instru
ments. Suddenly, by command.and is if by magic,
the pieces are rangvd in battery , detached and
loaded. Another word in spoken, and a dosen
camion blend their smoke and music in the air.
These evolutions were many times repeated, and
always with great celerity and precision. After
observing them I could not marvel that the Hy
ing Artillery should be considered the strongest
aud most efficient arm of the service. It was my
pleasure to make the aequaintauee, while at the
Faint, of several of the young gentlemen cadets
from Georgia. Some of them were on furlough,
and some, by reason of the shortness of my visit,
l did not see. 1 met Mr. West, of Madison, Mr.
Barrow, of Lexington, and Mr. Blount, of Talhot
tou. 1 think that our State can feel proud of
her delegation. With Mr. West I became com
paratively well acquainted, aud formed a most
favorable opinion of his intelligence and gentle
manly bearing. To him and Mr. Barrow, our
company were especially indebted for their po
lite attentions. West Point, your reader* are
aware, was oue of our strongholds during the
revolutionary war, and is rich ia historic aaaocia

soon after the revelation of bis treason. But I
am admonished notto linger here. At 1 o'clock

4^1 1 hmgnßWpfL'fi*’ Enquirer denies
cally, in bis speech
peronce Hall, said “that be would unite heartily
aud cordially with all who opposed the Democ
racy hy whatever name they are called.”
This was my understanding of the remark, and
to be certain that I was not mistaken, I enquired
tbe next morning of some half-dozen gentlemen
who were present, and they all understood him to
say tbe same thing and without qualification, and
your correspondent G. in yesterday's issue, evi
dently bos the same understanding, end makes
virtually tbe same charge. lam sure he did not
make the remark as published iu yesterday's En
quirer.
It is true that there was often much difficulty
in under standing wbat the speaker did say, owing
to tbe noise and confusion of tbe continual and
almost incessant rapping and halloing, made
mostly by boys from 12 to I*years old, who *een
ed to be employed and stettoned in the meeting
for that purpose, and appears*! fearful that they
would not discharge their duty to the satisfaction
ot (heir leaders. If tbe speaker said anything
smart they applauded him: if he said anything
foolish they applauded, if he pointed his finger
sarcastically, they applauded, if he gave a sig
nificant nod or wink they applauded. They ap
plauded to the midst of his sentences and at their
conclusion, aud evidently much to the surprise
and annoyance of the speaker. Indeed the ••herr
ing plaudits formed tbe sum aud staple of the
eveuiug's entertainment and the speaking appear
ed merely to be thrown in as interludes to give
variety to the exercises.
But, notwithstanding the noise and confusion,
I urn confident of the truth of the statement made
in the Times upon the poiut iu question, for it
struck me at tbe morn cat, as exceeding strange
that Mr. Douglass should take offence at tbe charge
made in the Times, and in the next breath ac
knowledge hto willingness to form an alliance with
those of whom it was said his success would afford
“encouragement and comfort.”
Paris hos*lp
The Paris correspondent of the Court Journal
tells us that there have hn serious feud* be
tween the Km press Ku genic and the Princess Clo
tilda, Prince Naiioleon's young Sardiuiau wife.
He says:

the telegraphic dispatches which arrive from Tu

phantasmagoria concerning the next scenes to he
played out in this drama, which, according to
them, had' been withdrawn from the stage before
it wax half performed or rather, whoae author has
blown out the lights, turned the gas off, n,| left
the concluding tableaux to be played to the dark.
It seems that, from the very first, there was but
little cordiality between the ladies of the Palais
Royal and the ladies of tho Tmleriee. The Prin
ces* Mathiide was the only lady among the latter
who sought to conciliate the old fashioned pre
judice* of the Court of Turin to the more modern
free and easy style of the Tullevies. This lady did
everything to her jiower to draw the contending
element together. Bb* even painted Mile, de Vii
lamartna's portrait, and sent it to the Exhibition ;
hut this had no uoncliatory effect at all, just the
contrary. The return of the F.inperor and the
Prince added fresh fuel to the fiaine. 8n much
bod to be complained of, so much had to be told
and the tale was so sad and full of woe. that an
explanation was demanded hy the Friuee. Us
course this was accorded, and it needed hut a mo
ment's reasoning to convince any one capable of
such uusuual exercise in Paris, that the complaints
were but the discontented pouting* of a spoiled
child, under the unjust impression of neglect

mitted that an unusually large wheat crop bas
been gathered the present season. The figures
representing the amount are eagerly seised and
hastily made the basis of calculations, that are
erroneous and deceptive. It ds not follow be
cause the crop is large that Miee* are to rule very
low. The question first to be settled is whether
th* supply will exceed the demand in this coun
try.
When the crop is small and prices rule very
high, other grains are consumed to a considerable
extent, in the place of wheat, by the people of
this country. But wheat is the great staple for
bread, when it commands a medium price.
It has been estimated that the crop, the present
season, will reach two hundred million of bushels.
Each inhabitant of the --ounfry, doubtless, con
sume* an average of about fire bushels, allowing
for teed and wastage. Deducting tb* slave pop
ulation of the South, and estimating the remain
ing population at about 27.660,000, the home con
sumption will tie not far from 135,000,04i of
bushel#.
A surplus would, upon this calculation, remain.
But this must be considerably reduced hy the con
sumption in factories of the country, and the
greater supply demanded by families at preseut
prices.
It i* difficult to see that a surplus can be ealeu
iaied on that will justify a material reduction ia
the present price of flour, or to cause this staple
to fail tei the point at which it may he profitably
exported.
