lOUMBU, FRIDAY, OCTOHBU *2l, 1*39. New CoMtlca Pardoning ( rimlnal*. We daniru and intend, during tb time between , thi*i and the titling of tlia LejiiUlthift, to lay before our reader*, our rjow* upon Ibo several mom prominent aud important measure# which are likely to be discussed and acted upon by the General Assembly. But before entering upon the dieoutsion of any one of tbeee various aud Interesting measures, we would earnestly invite tho attention of tbe Legislator! elect to the un warranted extent the majority of their predew sn ort have exorcised their legislative function*, by multiplying tbe number of counties from an aft toady well divided territory, and by impertinent ly and unwisely puahingtbe Legislative into tbe spbero of the judiciary department of the Htate Govern moil t. In behalf of the people of Georgia, who have grievously suffered from tbeee abuses, we enter a •oleum and determined protest, and we cull upon Our brotbereu of tho Press throughout the State, to aid us in our endeavors to muke these abuses •eon and understood, and to devise the promptest and safest means for their correction. Six years ago, the counties of tho Htate num bered nii.ety-six, full as many, if not more, than there was any actual necessity for. Vet, at this time, they number one hundred and thirty-two, and the demand for more is on the increase. This State of things has been brought About by small fry politician* who aspired to a supreme local in fluence—a seat in the Legislature and the divis ion of the spoils consequent upon the necessity of a number of new offices. The result of it has been to mako both branch es of our Legislature overgrown and Inefficient bodies, to foist upon the country unjust and un wise legislation, and to burden the poople of the new counties with an onerous and unnecessary tax for tho erection of Court Houses, Jails, Ac.—- Indeed, to such an extent has this thing been car ried, that in many conation tbe emoluments from tho offices ul Cu rl;, Sheriff, Ac., are of so pitiful a character, that it is impossible to And compe tent aud reliable on to fill them—a fact which tbe least observant must at once see militate* against the proper administration of the law* and the economical condnot of the Government. For some time back, public attention ha* been called to the rapid growth of our Senatorial branch, and so thoroughly awakened is the popu lar mind upon the subject, that uothiug short of Its reduction will satisfy the mass of the people.— Tbe first, best and longest step, in our Judgment, to be taken in that direction, Is to stop now, the creation of uew counties, or if any more uew ones are to be made, let them be made by consolidat ing two or three old ones. Another abuse not quite so glaring or so gener ally felt though more dangerous in the couse qcnees to be apprehended, is the pardoniug of sriiutaals. We have no hesitation in saying, and this we believe to be the popular verdict-- that this powor lias,within the last few years, in soveral instances, been most unwisely and unjustly used. We shall not now stop to argue tbe policy, pro priety or oven tho abstract right of placing this power in tho hands of the Legislature, or to refer to tbe means which it has boon said worn resorted to, to bring about its exorcise. Suffice it to say, we know that it has been abused, and it become* our duty as a guardian of the public woal, to say so, and to enutiou those to whom similar appeals will bernado, least they fall Into similar errors. Therobas been a growing tendency upon the part of the Legislature to encroach upon the ju dicial functions of the Government, and it needs no prophetic tongue to say that whon the judi cial powers of n government uro warped and trammelled by any other interest, the strongest bulwork of freedom is overthrown. 80 great lifts this thing grown, that tho last leg islature of Georgia passed a law in relation to tbe Supreme Court, which if the wisdom of the present one doos not wipe from tbe statute books, will be productive of results which cannot lie foreseen or foretold. But we wish to bo fully understood upoit this subject. Wo do not think at this day and time justice oan be promoted by Legislative Interfer ence with juries. We cannot think that any Jury, no matter how biased or prejudiced, will hazard the life of one beyond tho control of the Supreme Court ; and we are positively certain that men removed from he scene of the crime, whose sympathies to their credit bo it said, are easily excited by a tale of wrong and oppression, aud iu whose hearts tho protnptiugs of mercy hnsh the demands of jus tice, are tho proper judges between the law aud its violator; the living and the deud. It is unjust to tho community at largo, to loose a Srimitial under condemnation; that he may in another locality gratify his thirst for crime. It is unjust to the murdered, that tho murderer should go unwhipped of justice. It is subver sive of ail law aud ordor, the very foundation,* of society that be who has been adjudged guilty by his fellow uicu, whoso sympathies aro ever with the liviug, and who aro best prepared to under stand aud duly weigh tho facts, should be voted au innocent aud injured mao. Such occasions famish capital opportunities for young impulsive and imaginative men to ventilate their vocabu laries in pathetic strains; but they are feurtuliy destructive of justice and morality, and point too directly at a lenient criminal code and the abo lition of capital punishment with all its attend ant evils. /ÜBt-Uot.

IW* The China Mission—Our Minuter In n Bex. If the late news from Europe cen be relied up on, we fear it betokens but n meagre reward in comparison to tbe abundant harvest it was ex pected would be reaped from the ratification of the eommereial treaty between this country and the Celestial kingdom. Our Minister, it seems, is “in a box” in it* most literal sense, and at last accounts was virtually a prisoner at Pekin. It is stated that be is treated wiib the greatest hospitality by his Mandarine hosts, which, in that locality, is equivalent to being bountifully supplied with puppy pin and rice whisky, but he is deprived of the liberty of locomotion, and is allowed to use his eyes, only iu gating at the patches of sky which may fall within the circle of bis vision. He will, perhaps, be blindfolded and conducted tq the presence of tbe Emperor -be allowed to deliver tho auto graph letter of the President, with a few prelimi nary observations, and by the same process, aud over tho same route, bo re-conducted to the decks of the PowhaUan, no wisor than when he <le ptried. Tho maimer iu which Mr. Ward was conduc ted to the Chinese Capital, is insulting to the oountry whose representative he is, and a person al indignity to himself of so gross a character, that knowiug him as we do, we are unable to sug gest satisfactory reasons why he should have submitted to it. The idea of dragging a Minister and suite through a country in a box, like the wild animals of a menagerie, is supreuioly re diculous, and cannot fail to mortify all those who have a just degree of American pride. That it will be the laughing stock of all European diplo matic circles, we do not doubt, and shall expect to see the matter caricatured by the pencil of Punch, in the shape of a hugo box, surrounded by long tailed Mandarins, and labeled, in Chi nese characters-'American Mmister and suite.’ In view of a fashion thus introduced by a peo ple who pretend to be the most highly civilized on tbe face of the earth, we would suggest that our foreign representatives he hereafter boxed up at home, where U can ho more comfortably done and dispatched, |*cr “A'lain* Express,” to tboir various points of destination. From the gallant and noble mauner in which Mr. Ward behaved during the Pelho affair, we were induced to hops aud believe that we would he placed upvu a hot ter footing with “John Chinaman,” than any of tbe European powers ; hut the native shrewdness ol the Chinese, who are noted for their duplicity, and who are extremely loth to make concessions of any character, will toa<h them ibut they have nothing to fear from a people whose representa tive they can pack away as easily as they do their teas. It usy be, that the treaty ha* been ratified at Pekin, and that all the advantage* claimed may flow from its ratification, but wo hold advantage hut lightly that have to be bought by a national degradation. It may he said in extenuation, that it was a custom of the couulry that could not be altered, aud that no foreiguer could bo allowed to behold the beauties and splendor of the “City of the Sun,” but this, at best, is but a lame exouse. People who know how to thrash the two great est naval powers of the world, know hotter than to box up tbe representative of a foreign govern | rneut, aud if Mr. Ward eould not have gone to Pekin without boiug boxed, he should have in sisted upon the ratification of tho Treaty else where. Thf Flllliuslrr Farrc A week or two since, aud the variou* new.spa per* of country were filled with telegraphic de spatches announcing that n Filibustering expe dition had sailed from Now Orleans fur N'icara gua. Immediately all government official* were on the “ijul vive.” From Washington to New Orleans tho orders ran ulong tho trembling wire* to arrest everybody and every thing, and if nocoh sary to aceotuplish it to use all the government force at hand. In obedience to this uiaudate, the of tiie port refused a clearance to a California steam •hip, and the U. b. Marshal, with a company of U. S. Troops went down to the mouth of the Mississippi and arrested a tew men who were on a “maroon” and who offered no residence to the arrest. The wonderful proinptuesss of the officials, and the wonderful fents they accomplished, were im mediately heralded from oue end of the Union to the other, and all those whoso rest had been dis turbed bv visions of long whiskered men chasing greasers and half breeds through chapparul thickets, occasionally persuading them to increa sed exertion with the crack of n five shooter— folded their hands with pious resignation, and laid themselves to rest with the oou*oliug reflec tion that this great aud good government obor hhed a tender solicitude fur the inhabitants of Central America, and would not permit*the naughty filibusters to molest them. Happy ig noramuses ! They little *u*peet that at this time, the Government, whose fears are easily played upou, is pulling their purse strings— by Incurring on onortnou* expenseto prose cute men who have neither force enough, nr money sufficient, to procure a patch of territo ry largo enough for a grave. The late Now Orlsaus paper* furuiab accounts of the trial of the ttlibuster*, w hich is now pro gressing in that city, which in ooinparison to the noise made over it, is faroical iu the extreme. Instead of the large body of armed mou, and vast quantities of Ammunition, which were repor ted to have been captured, the sum total of proof is this, vis—a few men were detected on a fishing excursion, aud ainoug them they possessed a musket, a ride and two revolvers.

The administration has already satisfied tbe i country of its vigilance in relation to filibusters, au-l if it follows up the matter further, will justly excite it loeliug of coutempt for its credulousness and unfounded apprvheurion*.

While at the grammar school at Lowth, lie walked twelve in les to see the ocean for tire first time. He was sent on a trading voyage to Lisbon to cure him of this bent; the voyage continued it. Hi* fa ttier yielded to nature, ami procured him a mid shipman’s warrant in 1890. He served on the Polyphemus at the battle of Copenhagen, April 2, I*9l. in the Investigator, commanded by his cousin, Capt. Flinders, he spent two years explor ing the coast of Australia ; she proved uusca worthy, and he sailed tor home iu the Porpoise in 1803, which was wrecked on a reef two hundred miles from Ausiraia, whore hound his companions remained for fifty days on a sand bank. They were carried to Cont-on, whence he sailed to Eng land in the China licet of Indiameu. In the strait of Malacca they were attacked by a French squad ron, without success. At boine he Joined the Bollerophon, and of forty persons who stood beside him at Trafalgar, hut seven escaped unhurt. For six years after wards he served on the Bedford, capturing an American gun-boat at New Orleans, in the war of 1812. Here he was wounded, and inode a lieu tenant. In 1818 he commanded the Trent, the smaller of two vessels which attempted the north cast passage to Indie. The larger was disabled, and Capt. Buchan, who commanded tbe expedi tion, refused to allow him to proceed alone. In 181 Whe commanded an overland expedition from York Factory. In three year* of this expedition he jierformod a foot journey of Mid miles while tbe mercury was frozen ; another foot journey of .99 miles ; a long sea voyage in canoes, and was then obliged to return without having explored what he wont for—the coast of tbe Arctic Ocean, lie returned, and wa* promoted in 1822. Iu 1828 he published an account cf his voyage and married Eleanor Burden, the daughter of an eminent architect- In 1825 ho was placed at tho head of another overland Arctic expedition.— His wife, then at tbe point of death, insisted that he should go, and gave him a* a parting gift, a silk flag to be hoisted when he reached tho Polar rseu. Hbe died the day after he -cited. On this journey he reached the ocean and traveled west ward from the mouth of tbe Mackenzie 874 miles along the coast Hit” 37” west longitude. He wintered at Great Bear Lake, where he instituted a scries of magnetic observations. He went back to England by way of New York in 1*27, and in 1828 ho married Jane tlriffio, the present Lady Frankliu, aud published au account of his second expedition. Iu 1829, he was knighted, received ‘the degree of D. C. L. from Oxford, and the Void medal of tbe Geographical Society of Paris; in JB3U, he did service iu the Greek revolution as comman der of the Rainbow. He was Governor of Tas mania from 1886 to 1843, founded a college aud endowed it largely, established tbe Bcientific As sociation of Hobarttowu, won very popular, and ou his departure received au euthnsiostie ova tion. In 1844, he sailed in command of the Erebus and Terror on bis last expedition. On the fitb of that year, it was seen for tho lust time by white meu from a whale ship about the centre of Baf fin's Bay. He was to push on through Lancaster Bound and Harrow Strait to McllvUle Sound, and thence westward attar w* possible. In 181■->, three expeditions were sent hy the British Gov vernincut, besides two by Lady Franklin, two by public subscription, and one tf.v Henry Gnnneii of New York. Franklin’s first winter quarter-’ were found, but notbing more. In 1842, Sir Ed ward Belcher sailed from England in *eurb of him, with live vessels, and Coin. Dnylefleid with a screw steamer. In 18.i3 I>r. Kano went out as commander of the second Grin null Expedition. Lady Franklin sent a steamer and nitiing vessel; Dr. Raa started for a second exploration of Boothia, aud two ves sels were sent in aid of Sir Edward Beecher.— In 1841 Dr. 800 heard from an Esquimaux a story of forty white men sledging toward* the South, near King William’s Land, in the Spring of 1840, and later, of thirty white corpses and Home grave* on the continent, and five corpses, considarably eaten,on au inland a few mile* to the northwest of the mouth of Back’* river.

He occupies the some friendly and com wrrntiw relation to the Republicans that you do, and having served a long time in Congress, bo will have the advantage of an extensive acquain tance. Rut the way to manage that thing is thi let the Clerkship be gi\en to the Southern Oppo sition, and then let the Southern Opposition del egation meet and agree on their man. This would give you the nomination. You would have Ten nessee and North Carolina to start upon, and these 12 votes would save you. Yanee. Leech, and Giliucr would carry the North Carolina del gation for you. Our neveu would all go it for you with a hearty good will.

The woftlortul Election. The first question which will bo prevented to the Legislature, after It* orgauizuliou, is the elec tion of United States Senator. And not only i* thin tbe first question iu the regular order of the usual programme, but in our opinion, tbe first in its bearing upon the strength and prosperity of tho Democratic party of Georgia, aud upon our interests, State and Federal. Tbe nurne* of several of the most prominent aud gifted sous of our State have been mentioned in connection with the office, and partial friends, during the late canva**, bate zealously urged the claims of their respective friends to the high and honorable position. It is a matter of no *stoni.-h rnent to n* that the ambition of our great men yearns to represent the Empire State of tbe South in the United State* Senate. It is no light and empty honor to stand iu a place which has been itself hallowed and honored by a Troup, n Berrien, a Cobb and a Dawson, and it is a just source of pride to every Georgian, that his native State can afford such men as Iverson, Johnson, War ner, McDonald, Nisbet and others, to compete for its possession. It is not our object within the limits of this ar ticle to draw invidious comparisons between the claims and services of the various aspirants for position, but iu a spirit of frankness and candor, with a view to the promotion of every interest which may be concerned in the result, to *ay to our democratic brethren, that we honestly and conscientiously believe the policy of the demo cratic party, Htate and National, can best be sub served by the re-election of the present incum bent. Strong as bos always been the voice of Georgia in our National Councils, in the next session of Congress it must and will carry with it increased strength and influence, and at no time iu tbo history of this government, has Georgia and tho South had greater need for wine and able rcprenen tat Ives at tho National Capital. Since the memorable stiogglo of 1840 and 1851—which wa* ended iu the acquiescence in tho Compro mise Measures, Georgia, by force of talent and common consent, ha* been assigned the lender ship of the South. It behooves then, every loyal son of hers to see to it that her claim* to the portion. U. not iruper rilcd by personal jealouses and internal dissen sion*. To-day,'ahe stands forward with the moat effective and most harmonious organization of the Democratic Party, that exists within the border of any Htate in the Union ; and if she but proves true hi herself, and her policy. -<he will give the load and direction to her sisters of tbe Heath in the coming Presidential contest. If on the other band, personal ambition’ i* to override the gen eral welfare—if bretberen who have Mood shoul der to shoulder during the heat aud dangers of the contest are to full out at the division of the spoils, it is too plain to admit of argument, that her Influence, and divided, will be but little felt in the approaching struggle. Present indications mark too plainly to be mis understood, that the Black Republican* have lost, none of the Strength and spirit which animated them iri the content of 1846 ; and no matter who may plan the campaign or lend tbo forces to the fight, it i# palpable to every one that the right* of tbe South ar- involved in the contest. When the Democratic party 4of Georgia were divided in opinion as to who should represent u* in tbo Senate, after a long and severe cunteet, 4 Alfred Iverson wm* selected and the division* healed. During hi* term ofoffice, he haw conducted him self with all the honor, and .dignity of a Senator, and if a single interest of has suffered at his Rands, no man ha* yet come forward to lay it at his door. His position upon those question* most nearly affecting .Southern interest* have met a* warm and genera) approval nt tbe South at they have been universally denounced and condemned by tb* Republican* of tho North. It be i* stneken down it will be umier the'protesl of many of the most faithful and reliable democrat*of the South, and there is not a voice’ among the Republican* of the North .that will not approve tho deed. If he has served his party iu bis own suction of tbe Htate with zeal and fidelity—ho has been no les* earneit aud faithful iu londing\the labor* of hi* hand and intellect to it, every where and whenev er called upon. W<- w-ml-I ask those who are to decide this question to inarch up te it* considera tion relieved of all the personal bias and preju -1 dices which may have beeu engendered in a parly contest, and to settle it upou the basis of a liberal, wt* and just polity. Iu behalf of Judge Iver son we ask that tho scenes which marked the con test which resulted in his election to the Somite, may not be re-euoctd when he presents hisotaiia* tobe returned to that position. Asa Democrat we beg thet those entrusted with the duty will uo4 permit influences of any character, to imperil the harmony aud prosperity of the Demaoratic party, ami with these suggestions, wo leave the question where every true Democrat desires it to he placed—at tbe sound discretion and judgiueut of of the Legislature.

TUe HtfAitog of the “Wanderer “ The Sarannnh Republican gives the following account of the stealing of the “Wanderer.” Our reader* will remember her a* the vessel made so notorious about a year ago, by her sup posed connection with the lauding of e cargo of negroes upon the coast of Georgia. “If the general impression be correct, the dis ap|>earauce of tbe yacht H oodtrvr from our wa ters is the uioat daring instance of robbery on record. We intimated, in our city edition of yes terday, that she had perhapae gone ou a maroon ing expedition, as the facte then in our possession seemed te justify tho suspicion that a hoax was attempted upon the public. As reported to us, however, and on good authority, the following seems to be tho real status of the affair : The Wanderer ho* been lying in oar port du ring the summer nod fall. Some days ago. a man, calling himself Captain Martin, arrived in the ehy aud proposed to purchase the tauiou* craft. Being un profit able slock, the owner, Mr. Lamur, was quite willing to part with thu property. A price was nnuiod and agreed upon by the contrac ting parties, tho condition of the sale being eaA. A few days, however, were necessary to make the linanciul arraugcuieuts, and iu the meantime Martin was allowed to take poSMsriuU of the vessel and prepare her for sea. .Several days wore fixed lor the payment, but in every instance the purchase foiled. The vendor became restless, if not suspicious, a fact which seems not to have escaped the observation of the wily vendee, for, between midnight and day of Wednesday, the Wanderer, with a superabundant crew i numbc! ing 27, when 12 is her fuil complement,; weighed anchor aud set sail for parts unknown It seem- according to the te st information ! that we could gather, that she was “armed to the j teeth” iu all respects, ami amply provisioned for a long voyage, the latter comforts having been obtained free of cost, as no bills were paid previ ous to the departure. It is also said that the*o ’ supplies were taken on board by daylight and without tbe slightest effort at concealment. About the tune of her departure, (’apt. Black, of the Uichanl Cabdcn, and a pilot named Ned, went aboard to collect certain duos while tho opportunity was ottered. These parties were not allowed to go ashore again, but were taken out to sea and dii-charged in the own good time of Capt. Martin. They were put into a -mall boat about three miles out-dde the bar, and returned to the city yesterday. Upon setting sail, Capt. Martin who seems to be a boecanter of the fir>>t water told Black that he was now master of the ship ud had thing* all hi* own wav, aud that if any one on board atteinpled to interfere with his plan*, he would blow his brains out in an instant Upon Black'* leaving tho ship, Capt. Martin re quested him to give hi* very best compliments to tbe people of Savannah, tell them to-———, aud that tho Wanderer was safe on her way to the “t’other side of Jordan.“ Such is the version of the *tory generally be lieved in our city. We have no opinion on the subject. It is generally agreed that Mr. Lamar ha# been thoroughly “sold” and nefariously rob bed of his property. Martin i* represented a thorough-bred despera do. and as having been engaged for some years in tbe slave trade. His appearance would justify a suspicion of that character. Ykllow Kkvkr ix Texas.—From the Hous ton Telegraph of Wednesday last we extract the following ; There uro comparatively few new coses of fever since onr last. We believe our epidemic is sub siding and that our mortuary reports will show a favorable change before the end of the week.

Iu the early part of the wet k and at the dose of our Jost report, tho market was somewhat depressed, but on Tuesday a re action took place, and from that'day until the winding up of tbe weekly transactions, there vi an increase of animation and buoyancy, and con siderable lots changed bauds at an advance u]n>n previous rates. This state of tbo rnurket was kept up uulil the close of the week, and our coun try readers are therefore advised of the fact, that within the last week there is an advance upon cotton of at leant and a -hade more upon tbe superior qualities of the article.
