A com mon volante, with common appurtenances —a poor little horse with his tail braided and tied to the harness, and a tall, dirtv ca- icsaro or rider—forms one of the mostgro tesque and ludicrous spectacles imaginable. d>ut when the vehicle is finely built and cov ered with silver adornments, and when the fat sleek horse, (or horses, for frequently two are attached,) rejoices in a harness glit tering with silver decorations, and when the ebony calasero, wearing a coat rich in manv colors, with his legs encased in huge boots, the tops of which reach several inches above his knees, and flourishes his huge silver spurs, the sense of the ludicro.us is a good deal subdued and mingled with feelings of wonder and admiration. Such is, inlfact, I the appearance of most of the private volan- tes ot Havana, and when they are drawn np in long lines on the paseo, or are seen dashing along one of the great drives in the neighborhood of the city, their air is very distingue. A well appointed volante on the battery in Charleston would create a greater impression than Prince President Napoleon in his latest royal republican chariot. And this, I will say in addition, for this singular vehicle, that is by far the most comfortable conveyance that I have ever met with. It is a genuine luxury to ride in one. SANDERSVILLE, GEORGIA- TUESDAY JUNE 8, 1853. Democratic Nomination* The Baltimore Democratic Convention met on Tuesday last, and,after some “noise and confusion” Gen. Franklin Pierce of New Hampshire was, on the fortieth ballot ? unanimously declared the choice of the con vention, for the Presidency, receiving 200 votes. The Southern States went for him in a body, followed by Maryland, New York and Pennslyvania. The news occasioned great joy at Concord and at Salem, Mass., in which cities the bells were rung. The Hon. William Rufus King, of Alabama, was nominated on the 2d ballot for Vice President. A platform waspiesented to the Conven tion, comprising the resolutions adopted by the Convention of 1844, with others ap proving in most decided terms of the com promise measures, including the fugitive slave law, and strongly deprecating all at tempts to repeal or disturb any of said measures. The resolutions were unani mously passed, after which the Convention adjourned sine die on Saturday last. Pub. Documents.—We are again under obligations to our able and courteous Re presentative, A. H. Stephens, for a number of Congressional documents, speeches, &c. MUSIC ON THE PLAZA. One of the pleasures of a sojourn in Ha vana is found in the fine music which is dis coursed on every pleasant evening in the Plaza Des Armas, in front of the Captain General’s Palace. This is not one of your music once a week in Scudder’s balcony,” such as was wont to regale the pedestrians of Broadway, or music three times a week on the Battery, such as we sometimes have in Charleston, but something worthy of the name. A magnificient military band, composed of about fifty performers, is sta tioned in the centre of the Plaza, and exe cutes, in perfect style, a variety of difficult and pleasing pieces. They commonly begin witn operas and end with Spanish dances which are charming from their simplicity and thoroughly national character; they car ry one straight across the waters to the olive shaded hills and valleys of Old Spain. The same band never plays on two consecutive evening, but the various one, of which is a large number, take their turn in regular succession. While the music is giving out its melodies, the Plazas is crowded with promenaders. These are chiefly gentlemen though now and then some senoras and and some senoritas mingled with the throng, making I am obliged to say, rather a sorry figure with their mincing, ungraceful walls As the music ceases, the crowd disperses, and the Plaza is left in comparative deso lateness. TIIE BEAUTY OF THE COUNTRY. I en can scarcely convey an adequate idea of the beauty of the region surround ing the city, especially when regarded in contrast with the snow'-covered or frosty re gions which visitors has just left at home. As you pass beyond the city gates you soon enter upon scenes rich and brilliant with all the objects and hues that compose a ravish- ing landscape. On either side, as you ride along, are fields carpeted with grass of the deepest green, or waving with young corn, and diversified with trees and shrubs, and all the luxurious glories of tropical vegeta tion. Far as the eye can see stretch these lovely prospects, now terminating in a gen tle sloping hill, and now fading away in a boundless plan, and rendered doubly soft and sweet by the light of a sun that shines with the mild radiance of a Northern June. Stately palm trees, the still loftier cocoa, the mango tree, with its dark rich foliage, the slender Norway pine, are all around you. Beautiful gardens all around the city are open to your inspection, in which you mav see, besides multitudinous flowers, the orange tree, rich with its golden apples, the panana, and plantain tree, bending under the-weight of their curiously formed fruit, and a nameless variety of fruit-bearino r plants and shrubs. ‘ ° Important to Holders of Land Warrants. —Hon. J. E. Heath, Commissioner of Pen sions, states that, where a party dies before the issue of his land warrant, under the act of 28th September, 1850, the right to it dies with him, unless there be a widow, or -children who are minors at the time of the passage of the act. If he left a widow, the appleation may be renewed in her name; or if none, then in the names of such minor children. If there be neither widow nor minor children, no right vests in anyone, lhe act of 22d March* 1852, is silent as to the right of the widow or children to re new the application if the party dies before obtaining the warrant. If the'claimant dies a *-- r the issue of the warrant, the title there to rests in the heirs in the same manner as real estate, and can be assigned only by those who could convey a tract of land de scended from the ancestor. l i jk, e . raHn w hogave a boy a shilling to hold his shadow while he ascended a tree o^k into tho middle of next week lias tailed, MSP In order togiveour readers asmuch of the proceedings of the Baltimore Demo cratic Convention as possiblej we cut our editorial short. By the proceedings it will be seen that there has been a large attend ance, and, as a consequence, some confusion. The difficulty in this State, it will be seen, has been settled in favor of the State Rights Democracy, in contradistinction to the Union Democracy, the latter having been excluded, as was also Gen. Commander of South Carolina and Rantoule of Massa chusetts. Who is ranked with the Free Soilers now ? Cols. Holsey and Chapman where are you ? If that Union delegation will hold on till after the 16th inst., the Fillmore Delegation of this State will help them to bring their resolutions home. School Examinntion.—We attended with pleasure, the Examination of Maj. Rudisill’s pupils on Wednesday and Thurs day last, and cheerfully add our commenda tion to that so unanimously expressed by all who witnessed the exercises. We have never heard a school bear a more thorough and satisfactory Examination and which re flected more credit upon pupils and teacher. One of the Trustees informed us that it was decidedly the best in every respect that he had ever heard at the Male Academy. A teacher that has secured for himself such flattering and substantial testimonials of skill and ability, should be well sustain ed and patronized by the community. A worthy and faithful teacher, such as Maj. Rudisill, deserves the warm and cordial support of every parent and guardian who have sons and wards to educate. His school opens again on the first Wed nesday in July. A Judge Acting a« Sheriff. The Savannah Republican of Thursday gives the following account of the final exe cution of the law, upon the stores of the steamer Fanny, about which there has been some quarrelling and* threatened resistance to the law. The manly action of Judge Jackson deserves all commendation, and is a worthy example to all officers charged with the ministry of the law: “The illegal proceedings on board the steamer Fanny Tuesday attracted the at tention of the reflecting portion of the com munity, it became evident that prompt and decisive steps should be taken to enforce the law and vindicate the character of the city. The open and effectual resistance of the law by a parcel of unbreeched Califor nians, in a community distinguished for order and soberness, was an outrage not to tolerated. Consequently, Judge Jackson, of the Superior Court of the Eastern Circuit accompanied by Lieut. Col. Lawton, the Commanding Officer of the Savannah Inde pendent Volunteer Batalion, visited the steamer at an early hour yestesday morn ing. Judge Jackson informed the passen gers that they had been guilty of a grave offence in resisting the law. The stores of the steamer had been legally attached and advertised for sale, and he told them in plain terms that the must and should be en forced. It mattered not how unjustly they had been treated by the owner and officers of the vessel, nor how much claim they had to the sympathy of the community, the process of the court had to be executed and the stores removed. In answer to an in quiry, whether he would pledge himself that some satisfactory arrangement should be made for furnishing provisions to the passengers, he said he had no pledges to make and that the law admitted of no com promise. The community was distinguish ed for its liberality ; but he was not there to make them any promises; he came sim ply to warn them that the law should be put in force and that immediately. It was understood that the passengers would offer no further opposition to the of ficers, and Judge Jackson and Col. Lawton left. Subsequently, Judge Jackson return ed to the steamer with Sheriff Devanny. There was considerable excitement on board when he arrived, the passengers threaten ing that the stores should not be removed. Many of them gathered about him, gesticu lating and swearing as if they intended to offer him personal violence. It was no time for parleying; so Judge Jackson boldly seiz ed the ring leader by the collar, telling him he was prisoner, and forcibly dragged him ashore. The Judge once more returned to the ship, and with his own hands arrested three others and took them on shore. Find ing they had a man to deal with, the re maining passengers became wonderfully quiet in a very short lime. Had Judge Jackson yielded an inch in the outset, it is believed the leaders would have thrown him overboard. The officers afterwards went aboard and removed the stores of the steamer without opposition. The persons arrested were sub sequently committed to jail. The conduct of Judge Jackson through out this affair, reflects upon him the very highest credit. Too much honor can not be accorded to him for thus stepping for ward and setting an example to officers of the manner in which the law should be en forced. It is hoped they will profit by his courageous example, and hereafter when the law is resisted, that it will not be neces sary to invoke the aid of the posse comita- tus, nor for the Judge to descend from the Bench to perform their functions.” Col. Benton in the Fie lb.—Col. Thos. II. Benton, is a candidate for Congress in the St. Louis (Mo.) District. It is anticipa ted that the, war between the Bentonites and Anti-Bentonites, will grow quite fierce before the contest is ended. Old Bullion is some in a bear-fight, or Congressional race.

Jones, at Augusta, Ga., at $1 per year. * The Reward of Valor.—No disposal lias yet been made of the gold box which General Jackson bequeathed to the city of New York, for conferment upon him who should be adjudged the most heroic of the American invaders in the late war with Mexico. A Committee of the Common Council has been charged with the delicat duty of determining who is most worthy to receive this testimonial of valor, and a pe riod three months distant has been fixed within which candidates must present their applications. The New York Commercial Advertiser says that it should suppose that the most deserving would be the last to prefer his claim, since modesty and courage are proverbially allied. Tariff Movements at Washington.— The Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia Public Ledger, savs that at a caucus, consisting of the Iron-masters of Philadelphia, headed by Ex-Governor Por ter, and all the Buchanan members from Pennsylvania, but one, sundry propositions were offered and agreed to for carrying all the land bills now before Congress, and sub stituting home valuations for the present system of levying duties. This would in crease the present tariff by about 25 per cent, that is, it would add 10 per cent to 30 per cent ad valorem, and increase taxation by about twelve millions of dollars per an num. As a consequence of this agreement, the Missouri Railroad Bill, it is said, passed. One of the New England members, a demo crat, who had received notice to attend the caucus, spurned the proposition with indig nation. fc ’ Death from Tooth-ache.—The Pough- kepsie (N. Y.) Press, gives an account of a singular death in that place, of a young man apparently about 27 years of age. He came to that place suffering under tooth-ache, swelled face, &e. but got no relief, and continued to suffer most terribly till death ensued. The Telegraph.—It is just sqvcn years since the line of telegraph was completed between Washington and N. York, and Pro fessor Morse, sent his fiist dispatch from the Federal to the Commercial Capital of t^ie country. Since that time about fourteen thousand miles of telegraphic lines have been put up in the United States, and one- half of these number of miles under the superintendence of Henry O’Reilly, Esq.— This fact tells more effectually than words or arguments can, of the enterprise of those engaged in this important and generally prosperous undertaking. The associated press in New York city, numbering seven of the leading morning papers, pays at least §70,000 a year for news to the various lines leading to New York. Dividends.—The Marine & Fire Insur ance Bank of Savannah, have declared a semi-annual dividend of six per cent. The Central Rail-Road and Banking Company have declared a semi annual dividend of four per cent, and the Bank of Savannah which has been in operation one year only, has declared a dividend of five per cent. MSP The census of France has been pub. lished. The population is set down at 35,- 781,628, from which it appears that the in crease since 1846 has been much less than in former proportionate periods. The di minution is accounted for by the emigra tion to South America and California, and by fewer marriages having been contracted in the late troubulous times. Hung.—Neal Dow, the originator of the Maine Liquor Law, and Gov. Boutwell, of Massachusetts, who recently signed a similar law, were hung in effigy on the Boston Common, the 28th ult., by the rum-sellers —the Peter Brighams and George Tolivers, as Hewlett has it. By Telegraph for the Republican. Arrival of the Arctic. Charleston, May 31st. The Arctic arrived at New-York on Sat urday, at 10 o’clock A. M. Liverpool Cotton market on the 15th, eighteen thousand bales were sold, at ad vancing rates—speculators and exporters took ten thousand bales. On the 17th more freely offered—business reaching ten thou sand (10,000) bales, speculators and expor ters taking three thousand (3,000) bales— the extreme rates of the 15th barely attain able. On the 18th seven thousand (7,000) bales sold—twenty-five hundred to specu lators, none for export. Market quiet, yet steady, without noticeable change from pri ces of the 15th. For Breadstuff’s, there is a better feeling, and a slight advance, with large sales. The Asia arrived at Liverpool on the 15 th. General newsm England unimportant. Russia, Austria and Prussia, iu relation to France, have detf rmined to uphold the treat ies of 1814 and 1815. France.—The meeting of the sovereigns at Vienna has caused great trepidation at the Tuilleries—spies have been sent to watch their movements. Gens. Lamoriciere, Bedeau, and Leflate, have refused to take the oath of allegiance. Manchester Markets, &c.—Business in the manufacturing districts brisk. At London money is abundant—Con sols closed at 99 3-4 to 99 7-8. The Recent Arrest of J. Wilson Smith. The New York Times gives the following account of the arrest of J. Wilson Smith in that city. In yesterday’s Times we briefly noticed an important arrest made by officer Poliard at Jersey City, the details of which are as follows: The prisoner, named J. Wilson Smith had control of a miserable old steamship called the Fanny, lying at New Orleans, and put her up for a voyage to San Francisco. The passage tickets were for §350 each, and sold over three hun dred of the tickets, thus realizing §36,000. The vessel was dispatched to sea in a leak ing condition, and Smith then fled to the North, with the funds in his possession. Shortly after, the commander of the old craft was compelled to put into Savannah with his vessel, as it was unsafe to proceed on the voyage. Upon touching the wharf, the Custom House officers seized the steam er, on the ground of being unseaworthy, and having on board an excessive number of passengers. Some twenty of these pas sengers managed to return to New York. Among the number were Wm. Flinn, and Miss Mary Collins, who paid the sum of §700 for passages in the steamer Fanny. They each made a complaint before Justice Chambers, who issued his warrant for the arrest of Smith, and he was taken into cus tody, while on board of the Philadelphia train of cars, which were about leaving the depot. The accused was committed to the Bergen Jail, in default of bail. FOURDAYS LATER. ARRIVAL OF THE ASIA. DECLINE IN COTTON. New York, June 3, a. m. The British mail steamship Asia has ar rived at Halifax, bringing Liverpool dates to the 22d May. She has fifty three pas sengers and §182,000 in specie. In the Liverpool market cotton has de clined 1-8 of a penny for Low Middling, but the better qualities remain unchanged. The market closed quietly on Friday, the 21st with sales of 7,000 bales, 2,000 of which were taken on speculation. The sales of the week comprise 89,000 bales, speculators taking 25,000 and exporters 10,000 bales. Holders in Liverpool quote the decline at fully 1-8 on all American qualities. The imports during the last three weeks reach 357.000 bales. The stock in Liverpool is 502.000 bales. The business in Manchester was less ac tive, and prices slightly yielded. Havre.—The Havre cotton market, after the week’s excitement, closed quiet on the 19th May. The sales of the week reached 25.000 bales, and the market closed at an advance of from two to three francs. The imports of the week were 11,500 bales. The stock is 90,000 bales, of which 87,000 bales are American. We quote Upland at 67 83f. and Orleans at 67 a90 francs. ADDITIONAL BY THE ASIA. New York, June 3. Rice quiet; prices unchanged. Sugar buoyant and held higher. Common Rosin is quoted at 5s. to 5s. lOd. The Disabilities Bill has been repealed in the House of Commons. Lord Palmerston had called the attention of Parliament to the danger with which Constitutional gov ernment is threatened in Spain. France.—Odillon Barrot and other dis tinguished prisoners have refused to take the oath of allegiance to the President. Three hundred more political prisoners have been transported. The Rothcliilds have taken the new Aus trian loan of 25,000,000 florins. The steamers Frauklin&nd City of Glas gow had arrived out. Early Cotton Blooms.—-The editor of He had a tooth extracted The New Orleans Picayune, was shown specimens of cotton blooms on the 26th of May. The Croup. How to prevent it.—A correspondent of the New York Mirror, a medical practition er, in an article on this subject, says: “The premonitory symptoms of croup is shrill, sonorous cough. The patient is not sick—has no fever, as oiten in a common cold—is lively, perhaps even gayer than usual; his hands are cold, his face not flush possibly a shade paler than usual. The sol • itary symptom may last for a few days with no material increase or abatement and with out attracting any notice, suddenly however the disease, hitherto latent, bursts forth in all its fatal fury, and too often continues its ravages unchecked to the dreadful consum mation. The remedies for this symptom of croup are simple, and in most instances perfectly efficient. They are; a mustard poultice, or a strip of flannel dipped in oil of turpentine, or spirits of-hartshorn, appli ed to the. throat and nauseating doses of Hives’s syrup, to be continued as long as the cough remains. By this timely em ployment of mild agents, 1 unhesitatingly assert that a multitude of lives might be saved every week that are now lost through negligence and delay.” [from the southern press, may 31st.] TUe Washington Union and the Georgia Democracy. The following article speaks for itself. We do not desire to revive or protract a controversy with the Union after the retire ment of the late editor and before the suc- cssion, as we hope to find in the latter one with whom we will not disagree. We are not, however, at all surprised at the resent ment of the Georgia Democratic delegation. And the case is a striking illustration of the manner in which things are sometimes done by organs, and the value of that organ cen sorship which the Southern Press has exer- ciced. If the Union delegates of Georgia can be admitted into the convention to represent the Democracy of Georgia, why, then, the whole system is a farce. For the Southern Press. Washington City, D. C., May 29,1852. We the undersigned, delegates to the National Democratic Convention, appointed by the Democratic State convention of Geor gia, which assembled at Milledgeville on the 31 of March last, have just reason to complain of the conduct of the Washington Union, through whose columns gross injus tice has been sought to be perpretrated against the Democratic party of Georgia. We therefore avail ourselves of the oppor tunity afforded by our presence in this city, for ourselves and our absent colleagues, and in the name and behalf of the Democratic party of Georgia, to protest against the con duct complained of—and to claim of the entire Democratic press and party of the Union disposed to do justice in the matter, a candid hearing of the case we now sub mit to their consideration: On the 22d inst., an article appeared in the Washington Union, signed “A Union I Democrat,” purporting to give an account of the position of parties in Georgia, and to discuss the relative claims of the two dele gations from Georgia to seats in the Nation al Democratic Convention, to assemble in Baltimore on Tuesday next, in which arti cle it is contended that neither of the two delegations, are, of right, entitled to seats in that convention, owing to alleged defects m the party organization of both constitu encies appointing them, and suggesting that the convention should follow the precedent of 1848, in the case of the two delegations from New York, admit both. The editor of the Washington Union prefaced the article with some editorial re marks from which we quote as follows: “The Position qfthe Delegates from Georgia to the Baltimore Convention. —We insert the following communication, signed “A Union Democrat,” not that we wish to be understood as having formed a definite opinion in regard to the delicate subject which it discusses, but that the friends of the Democratic party may see, in good season, what are the difficulties likely to grow out of the appearance at Baltimore of two sets of delegates to the Baltimore Convention, deriving iheir credentials from two different party organizations, each claiming to be Democrats.” ****** “The communication to which we refer presents the case as understood by a Union Democrats of Georgia. Doubtless its state ment and view will be followed bv others of a different character, which we shall cheer fully publish. Our object is to enable those whose province it will be to dispose of the whole subject to be in possession’of such information as will be reliable. It must be the object of all true friends of the Demo cratic cause to shape their action in such a manner as to conciliate conflicting opinions, as far as it can be done without a sacrifice of any vital principle of party organization; and we trust that the timely examination of the true character of such opinions will ena ble the convention to dispose of them in such a manner as that the parties to them will be reconciled, and return to their homes with renewed confidence in the justice and soundness of the democratic party.” Confiding in these professions of impar tiality and of a disposition bn the part of the Washington Union to put those whose province it was to dispose of the whole sub ject, in possession of such information as would be reliable, a Northern Democrat, a gentleman of the highest respectability, an ex Governor of one ofgthe New England States, called upon the editor of the Union and requested him to publish a*temperate, respectful and unexceptionable article he had prepared in reply to “A Union Demo crat” and in which were set forth the real tacts of the case, the grounds upon whiok it is claimed that we are entitled of rieht i seats in the National Covention as the Droi° er representatives of the Democratic party 5 Georgia, and the fact that there is no other Democratic organization existing in Genr gia except the one we are appointed to ren resent. It was desirable that this artiefe should appear before the assembling 0 f th. Convention and in the same paper in which the ancle to which it was a reply appeat ed, as there were many delegate, to that Convention present in this city. The reason- able request of this Northern Democrat refused by the editor of the Washington Union, and he was constrained, therefore to seek publicity for it in the columns of another paper of this city. The article ap peared on the 28th inst. in the Southern Press, signed “A Northen Man; and we re fer to it in corroboration of all we have heie otated, in regard to its character and positions. We take occasion to state that the arti cle was written with concert or consultation with the undersigned, or any of us, and its publication was the first information to us of its existance. It was a voluntary tribute of a Northern Democrat to truth and justice JAMES GARDNER, Jr. SOLOMON COHEN JAS. S. HOOK, W. W. WIGGINS, R. B. HILTON, N. L. BASS, JOSEPH STURGES r O. J. MUNNERLYN, A. K.

Fata 1 Casualty.—During a shower of rain, about three o’clock Friday afternoon, which was accompauied with a' very severe blow of a few minutes dura.ion, the frames ot the dwelling bouse and Cotton Gin Fac tory of Mr. G. Oglesby, which had just been erected and partly shingled, were blown down. In the latter several persons had sought shelter from the shower, three of whom, a white man, whose name we did not learn, and two negroes, were caught by the foiling timbers, and the white man in stantly killed—the negroes escaped with slight contusions. Tbe others succeeded in making their escape uninjured. , j Q( l u est was held Friday evening on the body of William Brady, an Irishman, who was kdled by the falling of a frame of the Gin Factory of Mr. Oglesby, who found a verdict m accordance with the facts.— Chronicle tv Sentinel, 2d inst. Found Dead.—An inquest was held on the body of William Knight, found dead on Friday, near Butler’s Creek, on the Savannah road. The jury returned a ver dict, died “by the visitation of God.” As there were no marks of violence on his per son, and he was very intemperate, he pro- bably died of mania potUj as he was thought to be laboring under it when he strayed off from the city, two or three days before.— Chronicle <& Sentinel, 2d inst. > The workman who are engaged in dig ging down the hill in the rear of the resi dence of Noah Sturtevant, Esq., East Bos ton, for the purpose of extending Border street, have dug out several cannon balls, which were buried in the earth to the depth of two or three feet. They are eighteen and thirty-two pounders. The hill slopes towards and is directly opposite Breed’s Hill, and it is conjectured that these balls were fired from that spot at the time of the battle of Bunker Hill.—Jumal. The Southern Era notices the marriage of Mr. John H. Strange, to Miss Elizabeth A. Strange all of Albermarle 1 county, Va. An exchange thinks that this is very strange, but says no doubt the next event, of course will be a little stranger!
