Dispatches from Washington to the Western papen aay that the Eeet is profoundly stirred op by the great Western movement to open cheap water communication with the Atlantic through th* Bontheru States. They say that tha Etatarn politicians see in th* adoption by the West of the plain anggeationa of Nature and Geography Rome d*-ep-Ul<3 political plot to be come independent of Eastern dictation and mastery. In fact, to achieve tor the West political, eommetcial, manufacturing and finan cial independence—to bring into practice! operation that hackney'd poetical vaticination, “Westward the Star of Empire takes its way,” which has been in the months of Western to amp ora tori for at least two generations, bnt in actual fact, never! The East csya these canal schemes mean, in practice, a firm po litioal and commercial allienoc between the West and the Sooth, and these movement* will culminate in the disruption of old parties and the inauguration of new aeelionai ware. Hence the East had few representatives at SL Louis. Bnt why should there be any aeetional war in this mstter t Does not every geographical con formation of the continent plainly indicate these lines of communication ? and ia It not equally to the advantage of the East that the foroe of the people should no longer be waited nod impaired by a vain struggle against Nature, and inatead of dragging’'Ihe great agricultural and mineral prodneta of these mighty sections acres* tha mountains on dry land and through etill lakes, frozen over half the year, the water shed of the continent should be enlisted to fleet them down, without effort or expense to the ocean! Should not the East see that what is saved by harmony with the foroea of Nature is saved for increased activity in trade and man- nfaclnrea from which she mast reap a large share ? There is, in point of fao‘, no opposition to any aeolion in these great plans, bnt immense good to all. Bnt whether they arc consummated or not, Eastern domination over this continent is now practically at an end, and can be maintained no longer. The East (let ns say In the interests of hnmsnlty, at they tuppoted,) plunged the continent into an Irreooncilablo moral and then physical war for tho destruction of slavery. Whoa that war ended in the aooompliahment of its purpose, tboooly condition which rendered Eastern supremacy a possible thing for any length of time toat gone. Slavery was a social and political “institu tion" which Isolated the Sooth and remitted her to tho position of a separate minority section, having her own peculiar rights and interests to secure by a policy iookiDg to a balance of power between tbe Weit and the Eist. Her trade at- filiations were with tbe West, bnt she con’d give the controlling power to whichever seotion wonld co-operate with her in the overshadowing inter est of self-proteolion. Bnt when slavery was gono, and when the exasperations growing oat of its violont taking eff shall have disappeared, there ia no Iong*r sny special sectional intero.t to asperate tbe great Scnth from her oonliguons section, the great West. They stand in all respects with entirely harmonica* interests. As the con snmers of eaoh other's products their trade in- torohangos increase In volamc every day, and all the relations of the two great sections must constantly became mare intimate and profits, bie. For a time, the heady and violent fanaticism of the East and her more virulent hatred of the Sonth led the Weit, in tbo system of malignant, vindictive and repressive legislation which cul minated in patting the Southern States under the heels of thioves snd negroes, tint tom pi ston has lived ont its extreme violence and will bo followed by shame and repentance. An entente eordiole between tha West and South, which has never been known in the pre vious history of those section*, will horesfter exist and strengthen, and the Eist will bo pow erless to prevent it If she does not wish to snlTer from it, her trne policy is to reoognize the fact, and not at tempt to fight it. If she does, she will Bnrely be whipped in the fight. Lst her now mako amend* for her violent and proeeriptive oonrae towards lbs Southern States, by a generous and enlarged policy—looking to tbe general good of the country, and find her recompense In the universal improvement of trade all over tho State*. A School or Cookery. The efforts of Londoners to raise up better cooks by cstabliahing popular schools, for im parting instruction in the culinary art are par- allel'd, If not surpassed, by tho New York public, which has reocntly witnessed tho inau guration of a school for household service, which is Intended to provide model servants to whomsoever calls for them. Tho school is formed only of volunteers, or those who enter at the desire of their parents, and iho course is not complete under seven months. The principal considers n year little enough time for ordinary proficiency, but it is impossible to retain gitls sny longer as they are anxions to be earning the higher wages which their new-fonnd skill reoeives. At first they are taught to make beds, sweep and dust in the quickest, neatest way, which every housekeep er knows is quito at variance with tho common happy-go lncky style of Bridget’s perfor mances. When they can make a bed look like a frosted loaf-cake, snd can sweep without raising clouds before the broom, and knowhow to leave a room in shining order, they learn how to wait on table and attend vis itors. Each girl takes her tnrn in waiting on the matron’s table snd answering the bell, learn ing these duties in a quiet, punctilious way. The lessons in cooking bread snd pastry-mak- Ine are given by an experienced cook, the Rirls taking their week* for practice in the kitchen till they know how to do well what is reqnirea in common families. They can make a good aonp, broil a chop, serssn a stew, or dress poul ts Deserts and coffee receive special atten tion. The class is small as yet, bnt applications for Instruction are fast pouring in, and it is ex- neoted that this institntion will prove to be the pioneer cf similar establishments throughout the country.

The great State he repreiented wanted no seotioualiKm, no narrow snindtd legislation against tbe interests of this nnfortnnsto portion of tbe Union. Equal rights and free trade wore the maxims of his people. It had been proclaimed far and wide that the 8l Louie Convention had beja called to plot treason, snd to reorganize axotbzb Bum* against the United Stated government. This wa* false.

Fending tbe deoision of several important qnestionB, the hour far tho a*sembling of the Uaml convention having arrived, they were re ferred to the exeentive committee for farther solion hereafter, and the meeting adjourned. AT TEX o'clock A. M., tho convention, retnforoed by the arrival of many additional delegates, assembled again in Ihe Cnpitol. EIGHTXIX STATES were represented, and mnoh enthusiasm pre vailed. The deliberations were prefaced by a fervent prayer by Rev. Dr. Mean*. Several resolutions were then offered by va rions delegates, bat the chair decided that un der the previous aetion of theoonventiOD, nnless by unanimous oonsent, all of them must take tho nsnal course and be referred to the Com- mittee on BosineRR. GOVERNOR SiCETU, a member of that bodr, thtn pio3ent©d a mu- Jority report, and asked that it might be read and adopted. It was as follows: MAJOBHV BXTOBT. ‘That the vast interests common to all sec tions of the country, involved in the opening or tinea of water oommnnioation between the At lantic seaboard and the great basin of the Mis sissippi, entitle the propoeed routes to the im mediate and oarneat attention of ihe United Sutes Government. The necessity for cheaper transportation is vital and urgent, and the best means of securing it, Isa question upon the wise and speedy solntion of which, depend the continued prosperity and contentment of the country. In the West and South, this question is of peculiar importance. Their interests are. in a great measure, identical, being tho two great producing sections. The benefiu of cheap transportation to them, must bs felt by all other sections in an almost equal degree. In the four States of Georgia, Florida, South Carolina and Alabama, there is an annual deficiency of fifty millions of bushels of grain, which most be sup plied from tho West. This deficiency is in creasing, owing to the gradual decrease of sn available farm labor, and the rapid increase of the non- producing population of those States. When the deficiency in the other Southern States, and the consequent high prioes for sub sistence are taken into consideration, it will be seen at once that no question is of such vital moment to tbe South as cheap transportation. ‘ Since lSCC.the value of cotton (raw and man ufactured) from the United States amounts to over fifteen hundred millions of dollars. This ia about CO por cent, of our total exporti in value. Co'ton is indeed our only reliable snd remu nerative article of export, and is the real basis of the wealth of the whole country. The pres ent high rates of freight prevent the exporta tion of grain from tho United StateB almost en tirely, although onr surplus is sufficient for the wants of tho civilized world. They also compel tho Southern States to employ a Urge portion of their limited labor in the production of food crops (to which their soil and climate are net adapted) and to that extent deprive tha West of a market. To iUnstrate: The average produc tion of oornin the four States mentioned is ten bushels per sera. To make np the deficiency In the quantity now produced, it would be nec essary to cultivate at least 5,000,000 of acres. This acreage devoted to ootton would yield at least one and a quarter million bales, worth, at 15 cents per pound, $125,000,000. Deduct from this the valne of the oorn which the same acreage would produoe, and we have $75,000.- 000 to represent tho amount of loe* suffered annually by the Southern and Western farmer*, from a lack of facilities for a cheap interchange of prodnot*. . “This direot loss to.greatly recreated by the reflex operation of the causes under oonaldcra- The high price of tood increases the cost of the manufacture, as wall aa of tbe production of ootton, and so of every other article we need. While the Western farmer realize* bnt « pit tance npon his teeming crops, every manufac tured article which he u*6J come* to blmbar- dened by onerous and oppressive tariffs. Cheap transportation from the West wonld not only cheapen food, bnt would, aa a oonseqnenoe, tho cheapen tabor. This result wonld enable the manufacturer to supply onr wants at greatly re duced price*, and would enable him to oompete successfully abroad as well as at home. “Onr manufacture* wonld increase, onr ex ports would be doubled, onr shipping interest* revived, snd the balance of trade wonld be largely in onr favor inatead of against ru aa it n °“Tho*e State* watered by the Mtotoetoppi river and it* tributaries are the granary of the Union, and might be made the granary of the world, but tool!ted as they •-■irtually are for the want of cheap and adequate transportation, existing eTila must increase sad spread until poverty aid bankruptcy overshadow the whole to*d.

Tbe report finally concludes with tbe red tal of some of th* m »t salient advantage* connected with the opening cf the Great Western and Atiantic canal, which are »tated to be as follows: First—Cheap transportation. The cost of transporting a ton of grain from Sr. Loci* to Savannah by the new route wonld be $4 SS. ooata by rail $14 40. Beoond—Thia rente wonld bo open the whole year, and to never rendered impracticable by tee In winter or drought in summer. Third—It wonld greatly increase the coasting trade, giving employment in tha winter to tho tonnage of the great lakes. Fourth—The ronte passes through immense forests of yellow pine, and would be able to supply tbe best lumber in unlimited quantities, and at low prices. Fifth—It opens all the Southern States east of the Mississippi river aa a market for grain, bacon, bay, and other prodneta, the demand for which will oonsUntly increase. Sixth—It wonld fanSlah cheep transportation for raw cotton and for the manufactured article in return. jrixonrrr extobt. After the reading of the above, Mr. Tomlin son Fort, of Chattanooga, offered the following minority report, and moved its adoption in lien of the other: Resolved, That the Western and Atiantio Cinsl, as a great national work, should be con structed by the United States Government, and be managed and controlled by the same, free of all toll* other than what may be neoes- sary to keep it In proper repair, Mr. Fort spoke at length in support of his report, and was followed oa the samd side by E. A. James and H. M. Snyder, all of Chatta nooga. They were replied to most effectively by Col. lTeeas. Thomas, of lows. Colonel O. Peeples, Gen. Fisher, of Mississippi, and Col. Frobel, of Atlanta. A motion to adjonrn was then made bnt withdrawn, and the chairman proceeded to take the vote by States, on the proposition to toy on tho table tho minority re port.

Tha differences between these two bodies have been slight, and as indicated in the remarks of Dr. Biird, there is reason to hope that the Southern Presbyterian Church, bb represented in tho Assembly at Little Rick, Ark., whose distinctive title is merely a matter of a prepo sition—“The Presbyterian Chnrch of the Unit ed States,” while the body ia session hero em ploys the phrase “in the United States "—will, ere' long, also beoome nnited with this body, and that “ (here will be bnt one Presbyterian Chnrch.” Tho differences now existing between the Northern and tho Southern Presbyte rians are such, it is belioved. os may be easily aecommodatei So far as differences may have grown ont of the asperities of the late civil wsr, th-re is scarcely sny reason to doubt that there is an abundance of trno Christian spirit on both sides to enable them to agree now np on burying the dead things of the past, and uniting efforts, influence and meam in a com mon canse. The proposal looking to concerted action with the Southern Chnrch in the mis. sionary work in Florida is a forcible thongh bnt a solitary instance of the valne of general har mony. Sooh a nnion on the part of this or any other extensive and similarly divided organiza tion can have only a good effect npon the country as well as npon the denomination in terested. Civil Ill gilts Wo Go. On Sunday afternoon last (says the E if aula Times) on the arrival of the day passenger train from Maoon at this point, in charge of conduc tor Bass, Henry Sanders, colored, one of onr connty commissioners, seated his wifo in the car set apart for .the white people, to send her to Clayton, and went ont again. In a few minntes conductor Bass passed through tho csr, and kindly informed the woman that she was in the wrong car and invited her to take a seat in the next car among those of her own peoplo. Cheerfully and without a word of re monstrance, she arose and started into tho car designated by the conductor, when she and the condnotor were met st the door by Sanders, who demanded of Captain Bass “ to know why he was moving that lady from her seat.” Cap tain Bis* told him she was in the wrong car, whereupon Sanders flared np and demanded that she be permitted to remain where she was; that he had paid for the seat and pnt hto wife in it, and wanted her to stay there. Captain Bass, with great patience and forbear ance, told Sanders that his demand could not and wonld not be complied with, and told the woman to go on in the next car. As the con ductor passed along back, a gentleman informs ns that he saw Sanders, who was stilt standing upon the platform cf the car for the whites, quickly draw something from his pantaloons pocket snd put it in his coat pocket, and stand there with his haLd npon it, as if he intended some mischief with a weapon. The gentle man called the conductor’s attention to Sanders, and accompanied him toward tbe negro, who re tired aa the gentlemen approached. Sandera ex presses hto determination to bring Euit against the railroad oompany for damages under the civil rights bill, and it is clear from his action that it was hi* purpose to mike a case, or to get np a row in the presence of the large crowd ol his people, who were there to see their Bishop leave. Whenever the colored people do as Sander* did on Sunday last, they create ill-feeling to ward themselves and not nnfraquently get into tronble. The ears for the colored people on the Southwestern road are equally as neat and com fortable as those for the whites, and whenever a negro seeks to force himself npon the whites •gainst their consent and contrary to the rnl£3 established by the company for the control of the whites and blacks alike, he may be rare Uut he will be resists!, and a* is sometimes :tc ease, get his head panohed. It shows, too, that the negro wants to get np a row, by seek ing that which he knows will be offensive to tbe whites, snd we are one of those who think that when a man wants a row and will have nothing else, he ought to be accommodated, and to his heart’s content. XitrLcvEifTr of Galtestox Hieeob.—The ides of improving Galveston h.lrbcr is tf.king definite shape. A bill has been introduced into tbe Legislature, authorizing the city to issue, from time to time, its bonds to the total of five hundred thousand dollars. One hundred and eight thousand dollar* have already been ex pended, and all obstructions between the outer bar and the city have been removed. This has been done without a cent of tax npon tbe citi zens. What is known in Galveston aa the wharf revenue paid it ati. Having accom plished so much, Galveston thinks it is entitled to s little government aid, even tn addition to tha five hundred thousand for which provision hi* been made. THE GEORGIA PRESS. There were twenty sevsn oases of small pox in the pest house at Augusta on Monday—ati negroes. There have been no cases among the white peoplo.

Archer was arrested s::d brought to thi* city yesterday, charged with the robbery of tho mail between Macon and Brunawiok. The circumstanoes, as we learned them, are as follows: Wm. Archer to the route agent between Brunswick and Ma con. A registered letter from Brunswlok to Savannah was placed in his hands. Tte letter contained money amounting to $300. The Post- master at Brunswick placed this letter in the hands of Archer to tnrn over to tbe rente agent of the Atlantia and Golf read at Jessnp. Archer failed to tnrn over the letter, which of course did not oome to hand st its destination, Sevan nah. Tnis was on or about the 16th of April. Archer knowing that soma tronble was in store for him, left the ronte immediately and turned npin Washington, wherehis wife resides. There was no possibility of observing the robbery ap parently, bnt the employes on the railroad watch ed, and finally saw Archer in the act of open ing letters. This Information wss sent to Wash ington, epd the Da. awary stops were taken to secure his arrest, which Was eff acted in Wash ington. He was immediately seat here and ar rived on Sunday morning. He wss taken be fore Commissioner A. W. Stone yesterday, snd waived examination. In default of $5,000 bail he was committed to jail. He bad no counsel. Some time ago Arober wa* on the Richmond and Danville railroad in the same capacity, and was arreBted for tempering with the mails. Up on trial he was acquitted. It remains to be seen what will be djne with him now. Major P. XL Behx, an old citizen and mer chant of Savannah, died snddenly of heart disease on Tuesday. The Savannah News of Tuesday says “ J. G. Clark, the new postmaster, sasamed control of the poatoffice department yesterday. Mr. New ton will receive the position of deputy post- m*8ter, find Mr.Wrn. Cantwell, formerly of the costom-bouse, and lately officiating as a deputy in tho United States Marshal's iffije, has been appointed clerk.” A fuss in the Browning family in Montgom ery connty, last Friday evening, resulted in the death of John L. at the hands of Silas Brown ing, his nude. Freights KeipixoUf.—The Chronicle and Sentinel says: Despite the general dullness of trade in the city, there appears to be little or no diminutiou of freight bmiico3s on the Georgia Railroad. No freight train* on that road have yet been dis continued. Yeaterday morning eighty fnll cars of freight were dispitched for Atlanta nod be- yond, and at tuiil day a full train of freigbts from New York for Macon. This record of bus iness is annsnal at this season of the year for even the Georgia Railroad. George and Dick Rogers, both of tho trooly lovl politics and color, have been sent to jail at Americas, ia default of $1,000 bail, for stealing valuable pteksges from their Uncle Samuel's mail pouches. The assignees ot the Columbus banker, John King, who suspended payment a few weeks since, will commence paying 20 per cent on tho clsima of creditors this morning. Bio HailStobmatHawkiksvili,s.—AHawk- insviUa letter to tbo Atlanta Herald, says: At two o'clock on Thursday ovening last a hail storm commenced in tbe region of Hawk- iusville, and oootinaed with great fury until five and a half r v. Tbe wind came from tho north and tbe storm wss tbe most terrific tbst I over witnessed. Toe first atones that fell were very small, bat it a abort time reached tbe size of a pigeon’s egg and fell thick and fast. Very soon thereafter they increased to tbo size of ur’IeEgtli, 1 'u^ill -seigbrog irom* uue-uJir to one and a fjurth pounds. Pate’s store aod the bunk—all in the same bnilding—had twenty- five holes made through tbo tin roof. Jeik’s new bnilding bad tbe roof so damaged that it will bave to be laken eff and a new one placed on. One hundred and fifty panes of glass were broken ont on tbe north side of Lamar & King’s cotton factory, and iho roof of the building over tbe boiler completely riddled. Duck*, geese and pigs were killed, and a man at the factory wss struck with a stone, from tho effects ot which he is now cocficed to bis room. Tho aversge weight of the hail b'.oeos that fell was about eight onnoss. The shape of these stones varied, some being like an egg, others like a lemon, eto. From this hail the people of H&wkinsville are making ice water to-dsy, and many have enough to last over Sunday. Let ns Revive a Lost Art. From the Montgomery Journal.] The capital of a oonntry Is made np of petty snma saved week by week anl nnited in a mass for the common good. It not only makes money, bnt elevates the moral tone of society, by creating thrift, economy and good habits among the people. The amennt of savings in several manufacturing towns in New England is almost astounding. Ia fact, this one of the greatest benefits of mannfactnres. Tho ope ratives save their surplus earning* for n rainy day. They «e deposited ia trusty savings banks, and thus, while the operative accnmn- lates by the amount of interest that is allowed, his capital affords tha very means by which perhaps the manufactory in whioh he is em ployed is enabled to ran successfully. Nat only does the operative save his earning] and accn- mnlate interest, bnt those earning* are pnt out to circulate again at interest, and tbns the merchant, banker, manufacturer, agriculturist, and all other classes, become participants in tho general benefit. Bat where there is no steady and remunerative labor for the wo men, girl* and boye, in any community where all the work is done by a few men— there is Uttlo thrift, and thore can be no gen eral prosperity. Of course there are few oper atives in onr midst who pnt out their small snms of money at interest. There arejfew snch places to bo found exactly adapted to their wants. There should be many such in our midst. Oar farmers and planters, instoad of ever being on tbe borrow, shonld have money to spare for at least several months In the year. The mechanic snd artisan always ha3 a few dol lars to spare if he be sober and industrious So too, tho merchant, whether of large or small grade. Instoad of fruitless expenditures, then, let us encourage all our working people to put out their money at interest and become rioh. The sound and safe saving* bank affords the means to tho working classes. Let them pon der on these table*, and see how easy is the road, and be encouraged to make a start: A deposit of one dollar per week will, at seven per cent, interest, produoe the following result s In 5 years $ 350 80 In 10 years 805 G5 In 15 yeara 1,455 90 In 20 years 2 807 50 Tn 25 years 4,989 84 Amount deposited in 30 years—$52 eech year. 1,600 00 Accumulation interest on same 3,429 84 A desposit of five dollars per week will, at seven per cent, interest, prodnoe the following reanit: In 5 years $ 1,754 10 In 10 years 4,111 GO In 15 years 7,279 50 In 20 years 11,537 23 Amount deposited in 20 years 5,200 00 Accumulation of interest <5,337 28 One hnndred dollar) stock, compounded at ten per cent every six months for 21 years will be $5,455 00. Saving and pntting small snms ont at interest is a lost art. Let ns restore it, to bless onr State and people.

The sn- petficial soil is not above three or fonr feet thick. Beneath that the ore beginB as we have described it and extenils for forty miles or more in both directions, i. e. to the northeast and tho southwest.

I have a duty to perform, and muat attend to it.” The rector stated to the congregation that he had not read the article, bnt from tho scurrilous nature of tho series of its kind whioh preceded it, bo presumed it waa an indecent attack npon the congregation, and therefore he took this coarse. He then began hia service again, the reporter meanwhile taking notes. He again cea?od preaching, and, addressing the reporter, said, “I await for Jon to desist.” Reporter—“I can not do so while I am here. I shall continue to perform my duty, and X will only loave hero when I am compelled to do so.” Rector—“Then Imust insist npon your with drawal.” Reporter—“If yon insist npon it I must leave,” and so the reporter took his things and left; the clergyman, however, assured the re porter that he had no individual feeling against him, bnt only spoke to him in hia official capacity aa representative of tho Times. The affair creates much excitement, and the Times enjoys tbe sensation, while thoae who are the subject of the Times’ criticisms are suf fering, knowing that many will now read the article who would not have noticed it otherwise. r a lt C( , v n AW Permian Ilawlr IWlF.
