—The Savannah Republican of Friday last,
says :—“We learn from a private letter that
the steamship State of Georgia, buildingat
the ship yard of Messrs. Vaughn A Linn,
in Kensington, is nearly ready for launch

launched on Tuesday last.
The Philadelphia Ledger says, that “the
immense boiler intended for the new steam
ship State of Georgia, to be commanded
by Capt. Peck, are nearly completed at the
Southwark foundery, and the engine is now
ready to be put on board. The bed-plate,

A SHORT ARTICLE FOR EVERY BODY TO READ.
The Union men of the /South will soon
be called upon to settle a very important
question iu regard to the next Presidential
election. They will soon have to decide
whether they will stand aloof Irom the old
and thus endeavor to
men of the South. Here iu our very midst
they Ere changing their names, repudiating
their pri neiples, and preparing to associate
with what, a few months since, they termed
“the radical and rotten Democracy of the
North! 1 ' Open Disunionists, who denoun
ced Yankeesi—who refused to trade with
them, or to admit them into their family
circle-—are now ready to embrace the “sweet
little fellow” of Kinderhook. and the whole
horde of his abolition followers. Even the
Hon. Representative from the first District
is found closetted with such men as Disney
of Ohio! Verily, “coming events cast their
shadows before.”
Now, we hope that the Union men of the
South will send delegates to Baltimore for
the purpose of breaking up this infamous
coalion between the Abolitionists and Fire
Eaters—we hope they will send delegates
there who will co operate with the true Jack-
son Democracy—re-affirm the doctrines of
the Georgia Convention—engraft the prin
eiples of the Compromise upon the Balti
more Platform, and bring out some such
man as Mr. Buehman for the Presidency. -
For ourselves, we honestly believe that
this is the only way in which the country
cau be saved. If the Southern Union men
remain out of that Convention, the Coin pro
mise wing of the Democratic party—the
true Jackson Democracy will overwhelm
ed by the combined power of the Van Bu-
renites and the Rhettiies—a Free Soil, anti
Compromise ticket will be nominated—the
slavery agitation will be re-opeued, and the
Union will be lost. *
We throw out these hints for the reflec
tion of our Union friends in the Legislature,
and hope they will take some action in the
premises before they disperse. The time
for action is at hand. This is a day of pro
gress- Parties, like individuals, must move
forward, if they expect to accomplish great
results. Why not hold a meeting, pass
resolutions, appoiut committees, and take
action at once? Now is the time for Geor
gia to lead off. Alabama holds her Union
Convention in a few days. A- spoiitaneou
movement on the part of the Union men of

penetrated to the vicinity of Monclove, and
returned without molestation. Their ob
ject, it is said, was to recapture’runaway
negroes; but it is supposed that they .inten
ded to join Carvajal, if he had been success-,
ful in his attack on-Cerralvo.
The Caraanches, taking advantage of
the disturbed state of the Mexican frontier,
have made a foray upon some of the small
settlements above Laredo, and carried a-
way a considerable number of horses. Be
tween the Indians and the contending for
ces of Carvajal and the troops of the central
Government, the poor people of Tamauii*
pas and Coahuila are in a deplorable con
dition. They dare not side with either
party, and are wholly unable to protect
themselves against the invasion of the sav
ages. „

its organization and unite in the selection
of sound, able, patriotic candidates.
This is the question to be decided—and
it must be decided promptly and wisely—
for upon the decision hang the destinies of
the country. A national Union organiza^
tiou is out of the question—it is impractica
ble now, and is likely to remain so for some
years to come. The finality ot the Compro
mise will be an important issue in the next
campaign; but it will not be tne only issue.
Other questions of thrilling import will be
mingled in the canvass. A National Union
Party would be based upon one idea, and
that is impracticable at present.
The Union men of the South, in our
opinion, can accomplish their purposes, and
establish theii principles as effectually with
out a national Union organization, as with
it. They now control the States of Geor
gia, Alabama, Forida, Mississippi, Louisiana,
Kentucky, Tennessee/Virginia, North Car
olina and Maryland. It is possible they
might rally a majority even in South Car
olina. The votes of these States are not
sufficient to elect a President, but if thrown
in one body into a national Convention, they
might secure the selection ot a proper can
didate, whose election they would place
beyond a doubt.
It is, then, the true and evident policy ot
the Union men of the South to send dele
gates to one of the ajfjproaching National
Conventions. If asked, which Convention?
we would answer, unhesitatingly, to the one
; which assembles at Baltimore on the 1st
Tuesday .in June next. ...*
It is impossible for Union men to affili
ate with the Northern Whigs. As a na
tional organization, the Whig party no Ion
ger exists. It is disorganized and disban
ded. The Northern portion of it is led and
controlled mainly by Free Soilers and fac-
tionists. Even Messsrs. Fillmore and Web
ster have losttheir influence there, because,
in their official capacities, they have been
disposed to do simple justice to the South.
Co-operatiou with such men as Seward, and
Dayton, and Corwin, is out of the question
--especially as the great mass of their fol
lowers are Wholly unsound an the slavery
question.. ;
The Democratic party at the North is
less obnoxious to this charge. The true
Democracy there are led by such men as
Buchanan, and Cass and Dickinsou—by
at large. Now is the time for action aud
we hope the Union men at the Capitol may
embrace the auspicious opportunity to ac
complish such great results—Macon Jour
nal & Messenger.
Fire in Macon:—Ou yesterday morning,
at a few minutes after one o’clock, a fire was
discovered in a small wooden building, near
the corner of Second and Cherry streets
The alarm was instantly given, and a great
cumber of citizens hastened to the scene of
action, but the combustible nature of the
house in which the fire originated defied
every exertion to save the building. Tbe
bouses in the vicinity were mostly old wood
en buildings, and caught witltgreat rapidi
ty. Notwithstanding it had just ceased
raining, and there was but little wind, ill a
few moments the whole square bounded by
Cherry, Second and Third streets, to the
alley between Cherry and Poplar streets,
was enveloped in flames. The amount of
property destroyed by this calamity is very-
considerable, and the loss falls with great
weight upon a portion of the sufferers/ as
we regret to learn that some of them had
no insurance. Amotig tile sufterers are the
following persons, though to what extent
we have not been advised: J. T. Hardeman,
