Ferxamihna.—Fernaudinaisa new seaport on
the Atlantic coast of Florida, uml is the eastern
teriuiuus of a railroad which passes quite across
the Stale to Cedar Keys, on tho Gulf. It is
thought that many goods will be carried by this
route on their way to or from tho Gulf ports, in
order to avoid the perils of navigation near the
Florida Keys. Fernandiua, is by no means a
new seaport. During our lust war with England
ISI2 and 181 5, while Fernandiua was a Spanish
neutral port, large quantities of cotton were sent
there from Georgia, bought by nurthorn and
Euro)can merchants, and shipped to Europe at
fabulous prices. lls fine harbor is said to have con
tained at oue time, ‘during those days,’ 300 sail of
square-rigged vessels. In 1816 peace was restor
ed, and commerce tlow to Us former homes, leav
ing Fernandiua in peace and quioL In 1810
Florida was ceded to the United Slates by Spain,
by tho treaty madoby John Quincy Adams and
Don Unix. Fernandiua, like Rip Van Winkle,
is now waking up from a long sloep.
Tuk Senatorial Caucls Resolution. —
Senator Davis, in the United States Senate on
Wodncsday last, gave notice that be would coll
up the Semite caucus resolutions on Monday
next, with the view of speaking upon them. The
speech will bo regarded a* an important one, in
view of the fact that it will probably indicate*the
course of that portion ol’ the Southern Democracy
of which Senator Davis is the representative
mau on the i cxed question of territorial sover
eignty.
Approballve Demonstration.
The citizens of our town in goodly numbers
assembled together on Tuesday evening last,
lor the purpose of making some demonstration
in approbation of the act of such of the South
ern delegates ns seceded from tho squatter
sovereignty free-soil platform adopted by the
National Convention on Monday last. Much
enthusiasm and warmth of feeling prevailed,
which was exhibited in irequent outbursts of
cheering.
The performances consisted of the firing of
cannon, and a display of rockets, transparen
cies, Ac., together with music. Upon the first
side of a large transparency was exhibited the
name of Yancey in large uud conspicuous let
ters. the second side the names of the follow
ing States, in the billowing order: Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas and
South Carolina. Oregon and California; on the
third aide the following : “ Whiteley of Dela
ward, Fisher of Virginia, Lamar of Georgia,
Burrow of Arkansas, Sneed of Missouri, Green
of New York;” on the fourth side the follow*
ing: “ The South Carolina delegates who have
done their duty.”
Some twenty or thirty rounds from the can
non were fired in quick succession, amid the
rapid succession of wheels and sky rockets
and much cheering. There seemed to be a
spontaneous outburst of approbative feeling in
regard to the steps taken by those States that
withdrew from the Convention, prominent
and first among which was the gallant State
of Alabama, and its noble leader, Yancey, who
led the seceding column. —Sumter Ala. Watch

To tbe Democratic Part) of Georgia.
The undersigned delegates, appointed by tho
March convention to represent the Democracy of
Georgia in tho Charleston convention, took their
seats in that convention for the purpose of exe
cuting the trust confided to them with their asso
ciate delegates appointed by tho convention of
Georgia- By a rweolution of th* -<ra-roiit!on,
the vote of Georgia was to he castas a unit, upon
all questions legitimately to bo presented to the
convention at Charleston, for its consideration
and action; but not for the purpose, as the un
dersigned believe, of defeating the main object
of that convention, nor to demoralise, or destroy
tho Democratic organization of the United States.
The committee on resolutions unpointed by the
Charleston convention, reported three sets of res
olutions for the uction of tho convention. First,
the majority report of tho committee. Second,
the minority report of that committee, presented
by Mr. Samuels. Third, another minority report,
presviitod by Mr. Butler, vs Massachusetts, which
alone embraced tho Cincinnati platform, coupled
with a resolution for tho protection of native and
foreign boru citizens. The vote was first taken
on Butler's report. A majority of the Georgia
delegation voting for it, and bo the vote was cast
in the convention, the undersigned voting against
it in the delegation, fur tbe reason that they did
not think the resolutions went far enough lor the
protection of slave property in tho Territories,
and preferring the resolutions of the minority of
the committee, reported by Mr. Samuels, to the
Cincinnati platform alone. When the vote was
taken on tho last named resolutions, u majority
of the Georgia delegation voted in the ncyalivr,
the undersigned voting in the affirmative. A mo
tion was then made to strike out, or disagree to
the preamble, and several resolutions contained
in the minority report—which is as follows:
3. Inasmuch as differences of opiuion exist in
tho Democratic party as to the nature and extent
of the powers of u Territorial Legislature, and
as to tho powers and duties of Congress, under
the Constitution of tbo United States, over tbe
institution of slavery within tbe Territories.
Htoolced, That tbo Democratic party will
abide by the decision of tho Supreme Court of
the United States, upon these questions of Con
stitutional law.
Upon the question of adopting, or rejecting
this second resolution, the majority of the Geor
gia delegation declined to vote —the undersigned
voting in tbe delegation in favor of its Adoption,
and against striking it out. The result of the
vote, in the convention, was in favor of striking
out the second resolution, so that the platform
finally adopted l>y the convention contains noth
ing upou the subject of slavery in tbe Territories,
except what is contained in the Cincinnati plat
form. Thu undersigned had no agency in pro
ducing that state of things in the convention, for
they voted against tbe adoption of the Cincinnati
platform standing alone, without pledgiug the
Democratic party to abide by tho decision of the
Supremo Court of the United States, upon the
subject of slavery in the Territories, and in favor
of pledging the party to stand by the decision of
the Supreme Court of the United States, as made
in the Di ed ScoU ease; and this we supposed to
be in accordance with the wishos of our people,
as expressed in the resolutions adopted at the
December convention held at Milledgeville, which
was thu only expression of opinion upon that
subject for our guidance; the March convenion
not having expressed any opinion in regard to a
platform. Astor the adoption of the platform by
the Charleston covention (the action of the Geor
gia delegation in relation thereto being as before
mentioned in detail.) a majority of the delega
tion adopted a resolution to withdraw from the
convention. In the absence of any instructions
to that effect, the undersigned did not feel them
selves at liberty to bolt the convention, and there
by disrupt and disintegrate the democratic par
ty, or to impair its organization and moral power
before the .country; but on the contrary, felt
bound to remain in the convention, and execute
tho trust devolved upon them by the convention
of Georgia, to the liest of their ability, for the
welfare and future prosperity of that Democrat
ic organization, which in our judgment, is to es
sentially necessary for the welfare and prosperi
ty of our common country—more especially did
we desire to aid in the nominutiou of a southern
man for the next President of the United States.
Accordingly, we took'our Mats in the Conven
tion, with tbo firm resolve so to act, as in our
judgment would best promote the honor, interests
and harmony of the Democratic party, as well as
tbe interests of thoM who delegated us to act for
them, and in their name, to sacrifice no principle,
hut to muintuin right, justice, and truth, as well
as our political integrity, and that of tho Deuio
cratii- party of Georgia— not believing it to be
within the legitimate power of the majority of
the delegation, by their vote, to disfranchise tbe
Democratic party of Georgia from being repre
sented in the Charleston conrentionp*y the under
signed delegates, in tho absence of any such au.
thority, or instructions, given to them by the
Georgia convention for that purpose. The con
vention, however, by a vote of that body, deter
mined that inasmuch as tho delegates from Geor
gia were required to vote as a unit and a majori
ty of the delegates having, by their vote, with
drawn from the convention, and having made
that fact known to that body, the minority eould
not cast the ten votes of Georgia in the conven
tion npon any question before it. We have only
to mid, that if the Democratic party of Georgia is
not represented”in tbe Charleston couventioD, it
is not the fault of tbe undersigned; we have done
all that we could do honorably, to perform the
duty, and execute the trust devolved upon us by
THE UNION OF THE STATES, AND THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE STATES.
the March Convention. We, therefore, without
further comment, report our actiou in the Char
leston ‘convention to those who conferred tho
trust upon u* to represent them in that assembly.

jJEGP* The Georgia Forester , (W'aroboro) thus
speaks of the secession movement:
We regretted to see tbe Georgia delegation
holding hack, when the other seven States lell
the Convention ; and still more do we regret
that ten of their number remained and sought
to tie Georgia to the Douglas enr ol Squatter
Sovereignty. And that three of that ignoble
ten should lie from the first district— the very
cradle of Southern rights, is infinitely more
humiliating. We hope they may l>e able to
furnish some excuse tor their conduct.
Here arc their names. If We were the Pope
they should be excommunicated with anathe

Bcniotrotlr Meeting Last Mglil
Wo took tho liberty to occupy a modest corner
at the meeting last night at the City llall, with
no expectation of haviug anything new, and wo
were not disappointed. Col. James Gardner took
tho Chair, gave a succinct and lucid history of
the difficulties in the Charleston Convention, and
introduced ex-Governor King of Missouri.
Mr. King’s speech was devoted principally to
tho history of the legislation by Congress on the
subject of slavery—showing thnt Congress had
never intervened except to restrict slavery, and
arguing thence that nothing better eould be ex
pected of that body hereafter, if the question of
protection should he made a legislative instead
oi a judicial question. Ho portrayed the suffer
ings of tiie Northern Democracy, and of Mr.
Douglas on account of their friendship to the
South, and exhorted Southern men to stand by
and not desert those who had showed themselves
such generous friends in time of need. Ho glori
fied the Goorgia Union men of 1860, for their no
ble conduct, not much to the satisfaction we
should suppose of some of those present who
fought on the other side. Mr. lving is not much
of an orator, but his speech was replete with
plain common sense a quality very good in its
way, but which makes a political speech rather
tedious when unaccompanied with eloquence.
Mr. Flournoy, of Arkansas, was then intro
duced—a splendid specimen of man, hut possess
ing the same genius for oratory as Mr. King. As
we had read in tbe Charleston Courier that por
tion of his npoech which wo heard, ami the moet
iug was getting tiresome, wo left before the ad
journment. We ure inclined to think the cause
of the speaker's is a just one in a Democratic
point of view, and in accordance with the estab
lished principles of the party, but to bring victor)’
to their side, and to combat successfully the fiery
and elo<|uent Yancey and his comrades, they will
need to have more active combatants in tbe
field.
The doctrine of sovereignty in the territories,
though denied or concealed for years in the South,
is now admitted to be a cardinal principle of the
party, it remains to be seen whether the people
will sustain it as interpreted by Messrs. ]>ouglos,
King, Flournoy and tbeir allies. There was no
evideuco of approval last night, and the squatter
sovereignty demonstration was a failure.—Ait

The Georgia Constitutional t nlon Platform
As we returned to the city only a few hours
before oi wf (Ntiutduy, cuiiutloitig me
proceedings of tho late Union Convention ut Mil*
iodgeville, was put to press, the action of our
political friends in thatcouvention was given to
the pnblio without comment. We would now
take occasion to say, in brief, that tho resolutions
adopted are inconsistent with the policy and past
positions of the party on the questiou of slavery
in the territories, and that wo earnestly dissent
from tho attempt to tack us ou as a caudal ap
pendage to tho seceding wing of the late Demo
cratic Convention. We fuel that it is due to our
selves, and to the policy heretofore advanced by
this paper, to say this much. At a more conven
ient season we shall resume the subject and pre
sent our views at largo.
Nor, on the other hand, do wo wish to he un
derstood as condemning the course of the South
ern delegation at Charleston. In such a C'on
vent ion it was imposible for them to have re
mained without dishonor, and it was hut right
that they should repudiate the attempt of the
northern Democracy to force them into the sup
port of Douglas and the frecsoil heresy of squat
ter sovereignty. The people of Georgia of all
parties, should sustain them in that repudiation.
No man can longer adhere to the Natiuual Dem
ocracy who is not willing to make Douglas Pre
sident, and bind his section to the infamous doc
trine that a power exists in the Territories to
exclude tho South from her just share in the
common property oflbo Union. We have no
doubt tho Democracy of Georgia will sustain
their delegation by a majority unexampled in the
history of parties. In this section of the State
there are no two opinions on the subject.—Au

which were unanimously adopted ;

alternative but secession from the body or dis
graceful submission to injustice and inequali
ty*
Resolved, That this meeting highly approve
the course pursued by the delegation from this
State, in promptly withdrawing from that Con
vention.
Great Excitement. —We learn from the
Waynesboro of the 3d inat., that a portion of the
citizens of Waynesboro, together with several of
our most influential citizens from the country,
assembled yesterday, on the parade ground and
fired the cannon seven time--, in honor to the
seven Southern States who withdrew from the

Challenge Accreted— Planet and Daniel
floone.— “Doe,” a correspondent of the N. Y.
Spirit of the Times, writes to that paper from
Richmond, Virginia, under date of April 13th, as
follows:
For two aensons the Doswell stable had trav
eled to New Orleans to aid in making sport, and
Planet and Fanny Washington hod met and do
feated everything that the South and Southwest
could muster against them, at three and four
mile heats, from Charleston to tho Crescent
City. When Planet’s friends saw that he was
beaten by Daniel lioone, because of his want of
condition, and beard the Growings of tho admir
ers of Lexington over that small erumh of oorn
fort, they immediately proposed a match ut four
mile heats, fur S2O,O<M) a side, tho £raco to c. me
off in Virginia, or Charleston, or any other neu
tral ground. This challenge the Boone party
declined, hut offered to make a match for a sim
ilar amount, the race to l>c ruu at Mobile, New j
Orleans or Memphis. Mr. Doswell then offered
to bet $20,000 against! 15,0000, if the race came
off in Virginia--or $20,000 aside ut four mite
heats, the race to be run at Charleston, 8. C.
in January next, and gave the Boone party the
privilege of naming him, or any other horse in
the Union, which banter was not taken up then
—and has not been to this (lay, ] have no doubt
it is yet open, and I may be permitted to add the
opinion that it will not be taken.
Notwithstanding the very positive manner in
which “Doc” settles the matter in the last sen
tence, we can assure him that, although not so
much given to blowing os the Revenue people,
those in the Mouth and Honthwost have a confi
dence iu the get of Lexington and other stock
which is owned here, that the banter of twenty
thousand dollars will not lessen. We are au
thorized to state that Messrs. Jackson A Co.,who
conslituto the “Boone party,” will accept tho
proposition of $20,000 against $16,000, ami let
tho race come off at Ashland, Va. Tho prelim

or not called for at tho post office, annually fiud
their way to the dead letter office at Washington
-a bourne from which very few misguided mis
sives ever return. Tho law, however, recently
enacted, provides a way for tho return of letters
to their writers. It is lawful to requett tho post
master at tho office to which tho letter is directed
to return it unless called for within thirty days,
and when this request is made, it becomes the
duty of the post-master to return it to the writer
without expense to him. This request can be
printed on the flap of an envelope, an 1 w.udd
read us follows:

of the ludian truublos on our Texas border,
speaks in the following manner, when comparing
tho efficiency of rogular and volunteer troops in
that particular species of warfare :
“The Governor says regular trorps are useless
iu fighting Indians, because they desert the ser
vice uud are not drilled to light such a foe. He,
therefore, urges the calling out of a regiment of
Texas volunteers. Ten companies to ho station

Wc copy from the Montgomery Advertiser, thu
following extract from the Report of tho State
Superintendent of Education, Gabriel B. Duval,
Esq., which shows thnt tho cure exercised by the
Legislature on the subject of Education is bring
ing forth good fruits. Tho Adcvrlistr says:
“ We gather from this re|x>rt, that the different
reports made to the .State Superintendent, show
tho number of schools taught to have boon 2,697 ;
the number of pupils registered 98,27-1; the aver
age daily attendance 42,744, and the average
number of months (luring which schools wero
taught six and une-uightb. Estimating the ex
pense of tho Mobile schools to have been tbe
same as in 1867, the total cost of all the schools
reported was $6(16,210 4li. With an Increase
since 1867 of only 2,006 in the number of chil
dreu within tho educational age, there has been
an increase in the number of pupils of U,2fil,
And of 836 public schools, at an additional cost
of $11,230 36 The cost per pupil to the State,
if estiijuted by thu number registered, wus $2,70’ 4
for tho six months’ tuition ; if by the average
attendance, it was sfi,32. The total cost per pu
pil, estimated in the same manner, would in one
CMe be s6,fit, and iu thu other $13,14/ii; thus
showing that more than oue half of thu tuition
is paid hy tho parents of those attending the
public schools.”
A Black Ri:i*i hlican in tuk Coolik Tiiaimc.
The New York correspondent of the Richmond
tinr/nire.r says that a friend who has recently visi
ted Cuba, met there an acquaintance from Bos
ton, who was n merchant of that city, and who,
at home, whs a Black Republican Abolition Ne
gro-Worshiper. llu learned from this man that
bis business in Cuba wus to cousuinmatu u con
tract with planters anil others for landing fifty
thousand Coolies in that Island within a given
length of time, and that Boston ships were to be
employed in their transportation.
The inhuuiuuity of man to man in thu Coolie
slavo trade is said to surpass tho worst forms of
the African slave trade. Thousands die aud are
pitched overboard, before the vessel arrives, with
us little ceremony as if they wero dead rats. On

A valuaulk discovery has just been uiadu in
the vaults of uu eminent London banker. The
discovery consists of a large box of letters con
ruining tho correspondence of Mr. Bradshaw,
Secretary to tho Treasury in the reign of George
lll.—a man very well knowu to the readers of
Walpole's Loiters and the Secret History oj thu
Court Intrigue • when Queen Victoria's paternal
grandfather was King. Thu letters are of tbe
most confidential nature —written hy men liko thu
liuku of Grafton, Lord North, Lord Rockingham,
Lord Hillsborough, Lord Barrington, Richard
Rigby, Sir Philip Francis, and Mr. Boswell’s Dr.
Hauiuul Johnson. Johnson’s latter# relate to his
pension: and there are traces of Junius in this
valuable box of papers.
Large Sams on Kbai. Khtat*.—One of thu
largest sales of real estate ever held in New Y'ork
took place yesterday at tho Merchants'Exchange.
It comprised the property known us Elmwood
! farm, consisting of forty acre* of land, divided
’ into 487 lots, belonging to tbe lute Col. Herman
Thorn. The property was chiefly within the
limits of Eighty-ninth street on the south,Ninety
fourth street on the north, Eighth avenue and
Central Park on tbe east, aud Tenth avenue and
Broadway on the west. The lots averaged about
$1,300 each, which, for 487 lots, would amount
to the uggregato sum of $033,1 uu.
Although the lots brought apparently a large
sum, yet to the family owning them, the sale was
not an extraordinary one. Tbe property was
purchased by Mr. Jutroey, tho father-in-law of
the late Col. Thorn in 17U8, from Mr. Apthorp,
for tbe suin of $26,00<>. After a lapse of aixty-t wo
years it brings $83,100. Money at compound
interest will double itself every twelve years.
Thus the original purchase money, if it had been
actively employed, would in that period of time,
have reached a sum of over $800,UUO; so that,
subtracting the amount of tho sale—ss33,loo—
the amount which it might have yielded
had it been invested in United Htatei bonds or in
Btate securities, it would have made a difference
in favor of the compound money interest system
of nt least $200,000. Add tbe taxes to this and
look at the result.—TV. Y, Herald,—ith.

PROPOSED NEW TKIIRTTOUIKN.
The House Committee on Territories have
agreed upou bills for organizing five new ter
ritories, which will include the entire unorgan
ized region between the Mississippi Valley
and the Pacific slope. Their names are to bo
Arizona, Nevada, Idaho, Ducotuh aud Chippe
wa. The first includes nil that portion of ter
ritory obtained from Mexico oust of the Colo
rado aud its uorthernly nlllnent (Virgin river)
and west of lONth meridian. Its southern
boundary will be the Mexican border, and its
northern the parallel of 3t deg. 30, separating
it from Utah. Arizona will thus form a block
nearly square, including most of Now Mexico
west of the llocky Mountains, and containing
nearly two hundred thousand square miles.
Nevada will comprise ull thnt part of Utah
west of the 114th meridian, besides a small tri
angle between Virgin river and tho California
State line, and a narrow strip of what was
formerly Oregon Territory, (now Washington,)
between the eastern border of thnt State and
Green liver. It will thus contnin about 173,-
000 square miles, aud include the now famous
Washoe mineral region.
Idaho, signifying “Gem of tho Mountains,”
is the name proposed for the Bike s Beak Ter
ritory. Its eastern boundary will be the 102d
meridian; its western, Gieen river; its south
ern tbe 371 h, and its northern the 42d parnlel
of latitude. The Rocky Mountains will form
a sort of back-bone, passing nearly along its
centre. Its extent will be u!>out 130,000 square
miles. By thus clipping the wings of Utah on
lioth thu cast and west sides, the latter will be
left with scarcely one-fourth of its present ex
tent. A narrow strip east of Green river will
be ndded to Nebraska.
Dacotah will include all the territory west of
Minnesota, lying between the 4(UU parallel on
the north, aud the Missouri river on the south,
with its tributary, the Niobiarah, and thence
the 43d parallel to thu 102d meridian, which
will be its western limit. The Missouri river
will thus divide it into two sections, nearly
equal in extent. The Territory will coulnin
136.000 square miles.
The remaining country lying been Nebras
ka, Dacotah, thu Rocky Mmintuius, and the
British Possessions, is to be called Chippewa,
making an area of 130,000 square miles.
Each of the bills lor tho organization of the
Territories contuin the following proviso:—
Provided that, nevertheless, slavery has no
legal existence in said Territory, nor nothing
therein contained shall be construed to autho
rize or prevent its existence therein. These
measures will come up for consideration ear
ly next week.
Oossip about the I’opr uml Autunrlll
Tho Rome correspondent of the New York
Times, has the following in his last letter:
The Pope has been unfailing in his attendance
upon tho ceremonies of the week. Old Gregory
XVI used to depute his Cardinals to do the hard
work, ami seldom appeared in public himself* —
ltli Piu* I>v UU— J Ho
even enjoys being carried around in his chair, on
tho shoulder# of twelve crimson-rohcd bearers,
ulthough they do say it makes him awfully sea
#iok. I stood close hy him yesterday, a# he
knelt in silent prayer before tho tomb of St.
Peter, under tho great dome, and I was much
edified at seeing him in the midst of his devotions,
silly take out his snuff box and indulge in a good
pinch. Antonelli takes a* littlo part us possible
in tbe Church services. I hove only seen him
once. He looks pale mid disgusted. No wonder.
The news that Napoleon, in spite of his appa
rent opposition to the unconditional annexation
of Tuscany and Emilia, would not Interfere to
disturb the fait accompli, arrived hero a day or
two ago. it was in tho (lend of night. Curdinnl
Antonelli was roused from sleep to road a tele
gram from Paris. The message stated that the
Eiu| oror had presented to the legislative body
the question of sustaining the temporal sover
eignty of the Pope, and that, out of otto hun
dred and sixteen members present only sixteen
voted for uu active interference on behalf of the
Holy father. Tho Cardinal jumped out of hod
and hurried to tho apartments of his Holiness#,
whom he waked to tell him the doleful tidings.
Thoy remained long in midnight conference;
and it is said the poor obi Popu spent the time
till day break iu solitary prayer, lie and An
tonolli wore ut variance in regard to tho new
French General. It is probable that Pius feels
thu tyranny of his Cardinal Minister, and in his
secret soul welcomed the udvent of an independ
ent commander for his army a# in some sort of
deliverance. But that hopo is oozing away.
VSi-The recent brawls in the Houte at Wash
ington remind tho Cloaveland IMuitidculer of a
story heard in Arkansas sererul years since,
which ha* never been in print. It is no disre
spect to the present enlightened uud gonial Stalo
of Arkansas to say that in its incipient or Terri
torial days was rather “rough.” It was a very
common thing for a man to leave the bosom of his
family in sound health in the morning and return
(lend at night Cuttings, slashings and shoot
ings, were daily occurrence. It was dangerous
to ho sale. Tho Legislature was chiefly composed
of bullies und blacklegs, and the scenes enacted
by them wore often very eccentric. A tight arose
about something in “tboJllouse'’ ono day. The
Hon. Mr. Bangor, of Nupoleon, called tho Hon.
Mr. Slanger, of Helena, a liar. The lion. Sian
ger retorted with u bullet, which took off the lion.
Banger’s left ear. Both then sprang into the
centre of the hall with < I raw 11 bowie knives. The
spanker said, “hy G —d, we must have fair play
in this business !” and rushed out into the floor
with a cooked pistol iu one hand and a tremen
dous “toothpick” iu tbe other, and in tones of
thunder commanded the representatives to lorin
a ring. A ring was formed, and, in thu classics
of the times, the combatants “went in.” They
cuteach other frightfully, and for quite a spell it
was difficult to decide who was the better man.—
But finally Bangor, by an adroit thrust, cut off
Slanger's head, and instunt death was the result.
Mr. Slanger’s remains being removed, and order
restored, Mr. Banger resound said:—lt is my
painful duty to nnuounco to this House the death
of tho Hon. Win. Slanger, of Helena. He was
good at draw-pokor nnd faro, and handled tho
toothpick beautiful. He wasn’t of no account ut
legislatin'. He whs middlin’ on bosses. He put
on too many scollops. Ho had no family ‘eepting
his brother Bill, tbe best poker player on Red
River. I move resolutions of respect be passed
and for'nrded to his brother Bill.”
They were passed.

Male Democratic fonvrntlon.
There scorns to he some diversity of opinion as
to what dourso tlie Democracy of this Btate
should pursue in tho present emergency. Tho ro
suit of tbo Charleston Convention is generally
known. There is a division of sentiment among
tho late delegation to Charleston. A portion of
them propose to he represented in tho Baltimore
Convention. The seceding delegates propose to
semi a delegation to Richmond for the purposo
of consultation with delegates from the other
Southern Stales, and probably that the same
delegates shall attend the Convention nt Balti
more. These and all other conflicting opin
ions can only bo settled by a full Convention of
the party. For such a Convention there is an
imperative necessity, and wo are informed by Mr.
Ingram, the Chairman of thu Executive Commit
tee, that such a Convention will ho officially cull
ed so soou as tbe other members of the Commit
toe can ho hoard from. And as the Ist Monday
in June has boon designated, by a portion of tho

The Yacht Wanderer
This craft seems to be most unfortunate. Hard
ly is she out of one difficulty before she is plung
ed in another. The Havana correspondent of the
New Orleans Crescent gives the following account
of her latest trouble :
About midnight on thu 24th instant, John
Williams was the watch on deck of the yacht
Waudurcr, now in this harbor. He discovered a
■nan crawling about the dock, went below und
told the captain there wero robbers on hourd.—
The captain banded him an old horse pistol, say
ing he did not know whether it was loaded or not,
but that he eould use the butt end of it. Return
ing to tbo dock, Williams found the hawser of the
Wunderor cut, and that the mau, with two others,
were in their boat. He haild the boat, but re
ceiving no reply presented the pistol at the boat,
pulled the trigger, and somewhat to his surprise,
the pistol went off, killing one of tho men in thu
boat, which, it has since been found out, belong
ed to the Biscayan barque Kiel, the crew of which
vessel tho three men formed apart of. If ever
there wus a justifiable homicide, most assuredly
the one above related is one, yot the man John
Williums bus beeu arrested, is at present in jail,
and, it is believed, will soon he placed on his trial
for murder !
I should hopo his life is in no danger; his rights
will, I am certain, he duly protected by thu U.B.
Consul, General Helm, who will also take care
lie bus the best legal assistance that cun he ob
tained.
Conviction of Itev. Mr. Harden Murder In the
Find Degree.
The trial of the Rev. Mr. Harden, at Bclviderc,
Now Jersey, for tho murdor of his wife by poison,
ended on Wednesday iu his conviction of murder
in the first degree. A telegram say#:
“During tho delivery of the Judge's charge,
llardon had his face covered with his handker
chief, and was much agitated and excited.’ ‘Thu
Court then adjourned to tho ringing of the hell.
The jury agreed after being out an hour and a
half, hut remuined out two hours.
The prisoner was brought into Court before
tho hell tolled, and in an instant tho Court-room
was jammed. Th semi-darkness—for hut few
cundles were light* u added to thu solemnity of
the scene, livery one knew what tho verdict
would ho. Ifani‘i i# perfectly composed when
brought in, and his counsel spoke to him of anew
trial, thinking the Judge’s charge-to which no
exception hud been taken—anything hut impar
tial. Harden maintained his composure while
the verdict was announced. As the foreman said
“Guilty,” a low moan swept through tbe crowd
ed room, and at this moment Harden's head
dropped suddenly as if he wore shot. When each
juryman said “Guilty of murder in the first de
gree,” his cuimuoHs forsook him, nnd he hurst into
tears, tearing his hair with his right hand and
bury ng his face in Ids handkerchief. The Court
ordered him in irons.
Anew trial will ho applied for. The greatest
excitement prevails. The blow will kill his moth
er, who is now very ill. The populnr fueling is
with the jury. They were unanimous and stay
ed out u* a matter of form. Harden is almost
durangud with grief. No liniu is fixed for hi*
sentence.”
On Wednesday fho prisoner was sentenced to
be hung. On arising to hear hi# doom, he was
greatly agitated and hardly able to stand. In
reply to the usual judicial question, ho replied,
“I have nothing to say.” He was sentenced to be
hung on the 28th of June next. Tho New York
Express, referring to the prisoner, says :
“Endowed with the exclusive cure of a church
when ho hud scarcely attained bis manhood, and
being possessed with tbo same passions ami voli
tions incident to other men thrown into society
where no restraint except (lorsonal honor was
brought to bear to deter him from the commission
of crime, it is no wonder he full, and in his fall
brought down from virtue a too confiding member
of his congregation. Tho remainder of tho story
is soon told. A forced marriage followed, in or
der that Harden might retain his standing in tho
church and ministry. The union was loathed hy
tho husband. A separation of the parties would
be followed by scandal nnd church investigation,
and no way seemed open to the blinded vision of
Harden but to take the life of her whom hu had
sworn to love and protect The funeral, flight,
arrest, imprisonment, trial and condemnation
have followed in quick succession, and now noon
the gallows will end the tragedy, and tho world
will have had another proof of the pernicious ef
fects offals* education, deteriorated society, and
bort sighted Church legislation.
A Stubborn Fact.—Whatever else may bo
affirmed or denied of the late National Democrat

force with him, hut that the [main portion of his
men are scattered along, up and down tho river

Barranca* rancho nuuriy opposite tho Hangers’
camp. They are in so small bodies that it
would have been a fruitless.’ undertaking for tho
Rangers to have made further attempt* for their
apprehension on that side of tho river than they
have already made.
Those conversant with the condition of tilings
say that they have to return to this side to stoat
or starve, ns there is nothing on that side that
thoy can steal to live upon, while on this side,
notwithstanding the number# that they havu
driven off for their hides, there is still considera

Extract from the Speech of Mr. Barkcs
dale in the Charleston Convention:
Geutlemon of the North, I do not wish you to
misunderstand my position. I wish you to un
derstand that our claim to protection of property
rights is not coufined to a single department of
the government, hut that it embraces all its de
partments legislative, executive and judicial.
It may be said that the last named already pos
sesses sufficient power and authority. This may
ho so. It in a question about which eminent
statesmen and learned jurists differ. What wo
claim is the unqualified and unequivocal asser
tion of tho great principle of tho right to pro
tection at the liAiids of the government by all thu
authority with which it is invested. And wlmt
we mean by protection is udeyuatc protection,
such as the peculiar circumstances of each case
as it arises may prove to be necessary.
But wo have been told, with some plausibility
to-day, that the doctrine of non-intervention by
Congress with slavery In tho States, Territories
and District of Columbia, heretofore engrafted
the Democratic, creed, and constituting an arti
cle of democratic faith, precludes thu adoption
of the views which lam advocating. Then, let
me say to you in all sincerity, that if that bo
the true construction of (he Cincinnati platform,
(which I do not admit) to the democracy of the
South it has been a wretched delusion a false
light—n mere “tinkling cymbal and sounding
brass.” And if you tell me that the democratic
party has plighted its faith to the maintenance of
u heresy so monstrous us your construction of
the Cincinnati platform, if correct, would prove
it to be, then I respond that it is more honorable
and more patriotic to abandon a pledge thus
made, than to persist in propagating apolitical
falsehood at the expense of the rights of sover
ereign State* and the Constitution itself.—[Ap
plause. j
But 1 deny (hut ibis is the munuiug of tho dem
ocratic doctrine of non-interference; and 1 ap
peal to the intelligent aud patriotic members of
tho party everywhere to sustain uie in tho asser
tion that this doctrino was expressly aimed at
the unconstitutional dogma of Congressional pro
hibition us illustrated by the Missouri restriction
and was sught to be accomplished by the nnti
slavery agitators through tho instrumentality of
the Wilmot proyiso. It was in antagonism to
thnt pernicious dogma that thu doctrine of non
interference was declared to boa fundumeutu
article of the democratic creed; and its true
meaning was, that Congress could uuither estab
lish nor abolish slavery. The great principle of
tho right of protection to property which goes
into tin* Territories under the provisions and
guarantees of the Constitution was left untouch
ed and held savred.
Bir, if it be true that the doctrine of non-inter
ference precludes us l'r< m assorting a claim to tho
protection of our government, wherever its flag
floats, then we have no greater claim upon its
guardianship (as has been well said elsewhere)
than upon tho government of France, England,
or any other foreign nation, tor we have a right
to demand non-interference at their bunds, and it
has always been accorded, except in rare instan
ces. But when this right Ims been disregarded
-when the rude hand of violence has been laid
upou tho persons aud property of American citi
zens- -oar government bus interposed its protect
ing logis. It was in accordance wiih tho require
ments of that gren* principle that tbo war of
ISI2 was declared. It was in accordance with
tbo rcqiiiremontH of Ibis grout principle that the
war of 18 lii was declared and prosecuted, until
your eagles were borne in triumph to thu gates
of Mexico. It is in accordance with this prin
ciple that tho right of search ou the high seas
has been denied. And it is to vindicate this
principle, gentlemen of Now England, that ou
whatever distant sea your white-winged messen
ger* of commerce go, there your governtnwnt
sends itsguns and floats its flag—v fi_ju of pro
tection, the proudest emblem of i.nd
its glory. I Applause. J
Yor.Nfl England. —An English gentleman,
now resilient in this city, has favored us, from his
personal knowledge, with the following sketch of
the heir apparent to ttc British throne, and his
contemplated visit to this country :
1 think that tho impression which the Princo
of Wales is likely to make upon those Americans
with whom he may come in contact will ho de
cidedly favorable, lie has ii’ ithcr the traditional
airy gayoty of the “iniwl-cap,” who fetched Chief
J ustice Gascogne u box o’ the cur, nor the stndied
grace of the aoi diet ant “finest gentleman of Eu
rope” who became George the Fourth. He is, on
the contrary, a quiet, easy, gentlemanly youth,
with not uti atom of pretense about him. lie is
not tall of bis age. The form and quality of his
features resemble that of the Brunswick*. Tho
nose is good, Biighlly acqnilinc, the hair brown,
and the eyes a bluish gray. His complexion is
pale, and tho expression of hi* countenance rather
grave, and some tituex dull and heavy, but sus
ceptible of brilliancy when lighted up by mirth .’
In bis intercourse with the persons about him ho
is very affable: bis questions, when new objects
arc offered to his attention, are always pertinent,
and his remarks evince acuteness and the lesult
of cultivation, in the unrestrained enjoyment
of the country sports of England- - such as shoot
ing, bunting, riding -the Prince of Wales resem
bles the youth of the British nobility with whom
lie associates. He is Jocular, indifferent to dan
ger, loves to “rough it,” und hue nn especial rel
ish fora practical joko. In his expenditure he
is genarouH and judicious; pimple in his tastes,
hut with a passion for militury pursuits. He is
now a Colonel in tho army—as tho Princes of tho
blood royal always begin their career with that
honorary appellation. But i will undertake to
say that he has brought to thut rank more know!
edge of military history, tactics, fortifications,
engineering generally, and an acquaintance with
modem languages, than r ine-tenths of the vet
eran who have risen through all the grudntious.
I shall he very glud to see hitu here, ami 1 am
sure thut he will bo plcusod with the American
people, and they with him. It is not to ho la
mented that the position of his Royal Highness
will prevent his pursuing that quiet investigation
of the institutions of this country which would
necessarily result in an earnest admiration of tb
energy, wisdom und virtue which form tho basis
of public effort- If he comes to New York, Jet
him visit your public schools. *oo your Central
Park, go to tw<t or three of your theatres, hoar
your moat eloquent preachers, (of all denomina
tions,) look into your wonderful hotels, and,
above all, pass two or three hours in your Court
of Common Pleas, and wo how easy it is to ad
minister Justice without tho preposterous para
phernalia of wigs and erniino tippets. He has
already seen much of tho world: but nothing, I
will he bold to say, will impress him more favor
ably than the social (aspect of this part of the
Western Hemisphere. —Home Journal.

First, though, lot mo observe tho difference of
character displayed by tbe two nuimals in tho ca
ges. Tho pretty black tiger, it was plain, had
boon accustomed to bo putted. Tho pretty crea
ture sat quietly on its haunches, looking around
with seeming amazement nt tho dense crowd of
human beings on every side of it, as though it ex
pected some >nu to approach and fondlo it.
But ulus, for human nature! It was destined to
receive anything but gontlo treatment. The two
bull mastiffs wore brought in. Both of them
wero brindle colored, of different shades of dark
ness. A partition had boon placed botwcon tho
bars of the cage to separate them at first from tho
tiger, and no sooner were the boards of which it
was framed withdrawn, than the two dogs, either
of whom must weigh double tbo number of pounds
the tiger does, and whose names are “Wow Kil
ler,’ and Forest Ranger,” having, ns I heard, an
old unsettled grudge against each other, instead
of attacking tho tiger, proceeded to “square ac
counts” and each gave the other a pretty severe
drubbing. By means of ropes and a slip noose
they wore separated, and the larger of the two
dogs was drawn from the oago.
I confess I rejoiced ulfthis, because it gave the
poor tiger a butter chance. Left alone with but
one antagonist, the tiger quietly awaited the at
tack, ami ns the powerful dog sprang at its throat,
it threw itself on its back, using its teeth and olaws
with such good effort as almost instantaneously to
deprive the dog of sight, and to inflict so severe a
spinal injury upon it as to render it quite incapa
bio of doing any great mischief.
Then my sympathies wore enlisted fur the dog,
who in the ngouy of tho wounds in its oyes and
the back of its neck, sought to allay the pain ly
rolling its head on tho ground. I had hopes that
this would have terminated tho first fight and that
tbo tiger would have been declared the victor, but
I was uiistakeu; the poor crcuturu had only re
ceived a severe shaking and lay seemingly sense
less on tho ground. After the lapse of a few min
utes it recovered uud withdrew to tho other side
of the tinge, when tho other bull mastiff, that had
been drawn out, was again put In the cage and
Rprang with the utmost ferocity upon the poor ti
ger, who adopted its previous successful method
of defense, and in a tew minutes there was but
littlo fight left, just then, in tho dog; it, too, was
withdrawn, and went growling with agony to its
kennel. This was tho darker colored of the two
dogs.
The hyena all this time had been.prowli ngup and
down its cage, with bristling hair and ever and
unon snapping and showing its tangs.
But before I proceed to the description of the
second fight, I must mention one circumstance
which exhibited in a strong light tbe affectionate
disposition of the tiger. When tho fight between
it uud the second dog was concluded, the tiger
was left just in front of ths door of tho cage, and
it being rexuisite to remove the tiger from tho
position where it was, to open the boor and take
out tbo dog, a pole wus used to poke at it: hut it
seized the pole with its claws and teeth and moved
not. When its keeper approached, putted it on
the head and spoke couxingly to it the poor crea
ture crawled u few feet away from tho door of
the cage, and the dog was taken out, having had,
ns it afterwards proved, quite enough of fighting
for thnt day. And now for tho affray between the
bloodhound and the hyena:
The lutterseemod eager for the fight,as though
it smelled the battle from afnr yot appeared par
ticularly enfeebled “in its hind quarters. The
bloodhound was a Urge, powerful black dog, but
be exhibited no pluck: no sooner hud the hyena
given him ngrob or two—they wero of no gentle
nature—than ho fairloy turned tail, and sprang
up at the bars of tho cage in his vain endeavors
to escape. The hyena, contrary to tho charac
ter usually given to animals of it* species, instant
ly ceased to exhibit anything like ferocity, and
appeared rather inclined to fraternize with the
dog than otherwise; but this was not permitted—
a rope was passed around the neck of the dog,
and he was withdrawn from the cage.
Again was I disappointed in the hope that the
cruel scene was concluded. Not so. The thirst
for cruelty was not quenched,and the second ball
mastiff thnt hud fought the tiger was introduced to
an acquaintanceship with the hyena.
The dog, however, had not forgotten the punish
ment it had received from the tiger’s claws, and
seemed in no inunner inclined to venture within
tho reach of the hyena’s jaws, which wero opened
in a threatening and unpleasant manner. This
dog was ulsu withdrawn from tho cage, and thus,
thank Heaven, ended a scene such as I hope
nover. in the prosecution of my duties as your
correspondent, to be again present at.
Anot MRNT Against Pi oilihr. —We uro not
admires of the ring, nevertheless, as there will
always be a vast surplus of brutality in every
country, which must find escape semebow, we do
not raise objections to .ho prut lice, except so far
u# to protest against the ring being associated
with tho turf. Let each stand on ita own claims
to respectability aud popular toleiam-c. In the
South, where ninety-uina out of every hundred
turfmen aud race hors s are found, disapproba
tion of pugilism is almost universal. But it
seems to us, that tho recent great fight ought to
d—n the ring forever, even with thoso doubtfully
bred persons who advocate it, for its supposed
love of a manly fairness, and for this reason: In
C i > the greatest fight ever witnessed, thu hacker*
of one parley played foul, uud wrested from tho
victor his hard-won prize. And this was done,
remember, in spite of tho fact that (according to
Mr. Wilkes,) the attendance embraced a larger
□ umber of gentlemen than usual. The faets of tho
case, in short,show that the brutality of tho en
counter# is only rivalled by the utter basenees of
a majority of the betters.- The pretence about
“fair play”—the only redeeming feature—is
utterly disproved by tho fraud on llccnan! and
Aaron Jones’ cuuclusion that it demonstrates tho
incflablorotteuuossof tbo ring, is the only logical
one.
