Letter from the Honorable John A- Jones At the request ot' the author, we publish, over his own signature, the following letter, received by us from Judge Jones, of Pauld ing. It is a part of a private correspondence between us suggested by the condition of the times, so perilous to southern rights. In it we took occasion to dissent from some of the ex treme positions of the Judge; and it seems we have expressed a degree of attachment to the union of the States which he looks upon as superstitious. We will not discuss the suitableness of the term to our case, but take occasion to protest that our attachment to the Union is not a superstition, but an enlight ened sentiment. It is founded not more in a commendable pride in our country’s great ness and achievements, than in the conviction of our judgment that it is a Union which, if observed in all the saeredness of faith in which it was formed,would be a benefit to all sections. We will not deny, however, that unless the intolerant spirit of anti-slavery aggression is checked—unless the north moderates her ex cessive demands, and consents to a fair and just compromise of pending issues—unless she repudiates her solemn resolve, that there shall be no further territorial extension of slavery under the confederacy—unless she gives a practical recantation of a position so insulting to the south, so violative of her rights under the constitution, by consenting to a fair division of the common territories of the Union, the south cannot remain in the Union with honor or safety. We have arrived at a point in our destiny when the south should take a position from which she should not be driven, though the alternative be dis union. If she yields, she is forever doomed to inferiority and degradation in the Union. She will feel the iron arm of a despotic ma jority in Congress, stimulated to action by anti-slavery fanaticism, and wielded to the destruction of slave labor, by destroying its value, and ultimately and surely to the aboli tion of slavery. T,..t that bf?,.T«T' JfYTPNSIOTJ op THE Missoum Compromise line to the Pacific. That will be a practical geographical limit to the encroachments of anti-slavery. The south is now sufficiently powerful to obtain that line if she will unitedly resolve on it. She is sufficiently powerful in her wealth and re sources to maintain that line. '1 he sooner she makes that power felt at the north the better. If the anti-slavery section could have a little foretaste of disunion, with out its political reality, it would greatly mode rate its prejudices against slave labor, which is one of the chief elements not only of south • rn, but of our national prosperity. While wo are attached to the Union, and de :nn, preservation, our devotion to the rights and interest*.' of the south are not less intense than is felt by Judge Jones. To our beloved native State of Georgia, we owe the first and warmest impulses of patriotism. To her our allegiance is primary and paramount. Through her and lor her we love the Union, and ac knowledge allegiance to it. We should con sider it base treason to her to love that Union and to desire its continuance one day after it becomes an engine ol oppression to Georgia—- after its power is used to degrade her from her position as an equal in the confederacy of sovereign States, and with her to degaade the other southern States. From that moment wo become a disunionist. Such should be the sentiments of every Georgian. We hoid that Georgian to boa traitor to his State and section who does not entertain them. liut we do not despair of the patriotic spirit of mutual concession of the whole country. The divisions of the south have alone prevent ed a settlement of the present sectional dis pute If her members of Congress will unite and vote unanimously, or nearly so, against the Clay con. l,,r °mise, and insist on the old time-honored MiJ souri compromise, they can carry the point.

Upon this issue parties will he formed at the south, ar.cl the relative popularity of the two plans of compromise will then be tested. Fairee K.vowe, June 20, 1850. My Dear Sir .- To-morrow, lam sixty years old, and from a long course of observation, I a ivo been induced to believe that men are often, very often, superstitious and fanatical iii many things besides religion. In some things, i is productive only of folly, as in the ■superstitions (and they are numerous) of the gaming tables. In other things, they be come evils of the first magnitude, as in reli gion and politics. In religion, superstition and fanaticism enabled the Pope, Mahomet, and the leaders of other sects, through the . instrumentality of the folly of their followers, to drench the world in blood, and commit other enormities, at the mere recollection of wl .ieh tlie soul shudders. In polities, that sail '• fell spirit of superstitious fanaticism has enabled conquerors and heroes to govern the world ,'or the benefit of the few to the detri ment of the many; in short, Priest-craft and State-craft, rather than vitali religion, or pure political principles, have governed the world heretofore, and when 1 see such nerves as yours bending to their influence, I fear they will govern the world in ail time to come. These reflections, or rather these despondent feel; nas, have been induced by one or two sen 3 tences in ' our letter of the 30th ult. By the way, it plea ses 1130 to know we shall agree ultimately as to t course to be pursued, and the end to be e may difier slight ly as to the quo modo. J may be in favor of more earnest and more dii'A appeals to the common sense and true patriotism P eo * pie, than you are. Our end is the same—-the independent and equal rights of the South under the Constitution, and in the Union, it we can, and the happiness of the whole coun try. To vour letter. Yfftl rry : —‘T confess, however, I am anxi ious for a close of all this sectional strife.” Why, so am I, and so are all our people of the South, and it is the exhibition of that very anxiety for peace which has impressed on the Northern mind the conviction that our anxie ty for peace grows out of, and is based on a fear of their prowess and our slaves. They know it is not love for them that makes us cling to the Union, for they know, that for sixty years they have deserved of us no feel ing but unalloyed hate. »Ve have got to con vince them of their error in this regard.be fore you can be relieved of sectional strife. Convince them of that error, and further, that we hold in our hand, the key to their pros perity, manufacturing, mercantile and marine, that we can give N. York and Lowell to the bats and buzzards, and force every sail of their mercantile marine to be clued to the mast whenever it pleases us to do so, and you will close this sectional strife, and not before. Tou say, “ Ours is a glorious country.” Well, It may be so, but I prefer a happy and con tented people living under a great and equal Government: and I confess I do not see so much glory in having my pockets picked, or having the incendiary’s torch and the assas sin’s steel brandished in my face every day. Nor do I see so much glory or honor, or credit in boasting of my devotion to a union with those who do it, or of the glories of a Gov ernment that permits it to be done. You say, “ I feel attached to the Union, and am anxi ous to see it preserved, if it can be done with out humiliation to the South.” I agree with you entirely in the theory. Do we not differ in the practical application? Now, my re gard for the Union is based altogether on my reason. I have long since abandoned ail pre judices (superstition) about it. The time was, in our infancy, when We paid tribute to the Barbary powers. In our youth, we felt able to refuse that tribute, and we stopped it. The time was, when all the States united, were barely able to gain sufferance in the family of nations, and while separate, there was constant danger of border wars, Standing armies and despotisms. Tor both j »eaßoim I have been devoted to the Union, j and have been content to pay my portion of the annual $15,000,000 tribute, w hich we pay the North, and have paid her lor years. The first reason has ceased to exist. The slave holding States are strong enough to defend themselves against all enemies, and important enough, in a commercial point of view, to command the respect and courtship of the world. I must confess that when the North, in addition to the tribute, demands as the price of peace with her, that we abandon all share of the acquisitions of our joint efforts, and suffer our slaves to be stolen by them ad libi tim, lam disposed to resist. If it were left to me, I would plant the left Southern foot on the British line, the right on the Mexican, face our arrogant enemies, and bid them “lay on McDuff, And damned be he who first cries hold, enough.” I would let them understand, that though we loved peaee, we feared war as little as they, and the blighting influence of the want of our traffic, they should feel in the very marrow of their bones, and then we would have peace, lasting peace, and not till then. Mark me, I say we will not have peace with the North until we convince the North that we do not pear them, and that they cannot do without us. Such is my love tor the Union, a reasoning love, based on a calculation of how much its benefits outweighed its evils. Any love beyond that is superstitious and fanatical, and based on nursery tales I had almost said, insure the peace, and the South is better out of the Union than in it. If the worst come to the worst, she can make money enough in one year to fight two, which is four times as much as our ad versaries can do. Our patriot statesmen who met at Nash ville, and they deserve all you have said of them, recommend that we acquiesce in the Missouri Compromise line, if the North pro poses it. I have not the vanity to believe lam wiser than my generation. I will, therefore, cheerfully forego my own opinions, as ex pressed above, and will most cordially unite with you and exert every faculty to induce all to acquiesce in that line, and be content. Sincerely and lespectfully, your ob’t serv’t, John A. Jones. We learn from a friend in Milledgeville, that the Hon. John W. Ilooper, has been ap pointed by his excellency Gov. Towns, Judge of the Supreme Court of the Cherokee Cir cuit, vice Hon. A. li. Wright, resigned. Melancholy Accident- Two young students of Oglethorpe Uni versity, near Milledgeville, one named Luce, the other McCutehen, were instantly killed on the morning of the 2Gth inst., by lightning. A third person was near them at the time, but fortunately escaped uninjured. A Good Dividend. The Directors of the Iron Steam Boat Com pany have declared a dividend of ten per cent., payable to stockholders on demand. Charleston Cotton manufacturing 1 Com pany. At a meeting oi the Stockholders of this Company, held on the 27th ult., a resolution was adopted to increase its capital $400,000. General James offered to take half of it, if the other half was promptly taken up. Thus we go. While the factories of the North are closing doors and working short time, for want of protection, the factories of the South are increasing their capitals and machinery, and every day adds to their number. No pro tection is asked by them —nor is any wanted. Free Trade, and an equality in the benefits of the Union arc all the South asks. She has three advantages over the North in this branch of business, into which she has been reluct antly driven —the raw material—cheap labor, and cheap water power; and our Northern cotton spinners are daily experiencing these faets. IVloultric House—Sullivan Island. Mr. James M. Hurst, too vvell known to the travelling public to need recommendation Irom us, it will be seen by advertisement, has taken charge of this new Hotel, and will open it for the reception of visitors on the Bth inst. The Moultrie House is pleasantly situated on Sul livan’s Island, the summer retreat for the cit izens of Charleston. For health, it cannot be surpassed, and those fond of Sea Bathing, can enjoy it to perfection in the surf opposite the Hotel. To the invalid,this Hotel will prove a great convenience, as such an establishment was much needed on the Island. The Soctrine of Election, Slated, defended, and applied, in three Discourses, by the Rev. E. P. Rogers, A■ M., Pastor of First Presbyterian Church, Augusta, Qa. The Calvinistic doctrine of Election, finds an able and zealous champion in the Rev. E. P. Rogers, whose piety and Christian zeal, not less than his fine talents and gentlemanly deportment, have placed him high in the es teem and admiration of his congregation, and of our community. We are indebted to his courtesy for a copy of the Discourses men tioned above. They are printed in a neat volume of about one hundred pages, issued from the press of Elihu Geer, Hartford, Ct., and are for sale at the store of Misses J. A Carrie & Co. These Discourses were delivered by Mr. Rogers in the regular course of his pulpit la bors in Augusta, without reference to publi cation; and are now given to the public in accordance with a general expression of a wish on the part of his congregation, that they should be printed. In this form they are deprived of the charm of that fervid eloquence and graceful delivery which dsstinguish the pulpit ora'ory of the Rev. author. But all who admire a peispicu ous style, beauty of metaphor, strong reason ing, and close logic, fortified by authority aptly quoted, will be pleased with these dis courses. There is not, from the nature of the subject, that amptitude of illustration, and that frequency pf striking and beautiful meta phors with which the less controversial Ser mons of Mr. Rogers are so happily inter spersedl out the st yl e is> m ail respects, well adapted to' the elucidation of this important and much mooted theological question, and the affirmative side of it is ably advocated by our author. New' Publications. —We have received fronri J. A. Carrie & Co., the following new works: The Shoulder Knot : BtB.F. Tefft. This is an interesting story of the Seventeenth Cen tury, — Harper & Brothers publishers. Painter, Gildee, and Varnisker’s Com panion. The Dyer and Colour Maker’s Compan ion Henry C. Baird, publisher. The above are two very neat and well got up little volumes, the objects of which are to give a clear, concise and comprehensive view of the principal operations connected with the practice of those trades. They contain a great deal of uselul and interesting information. Cuba — OJ/icial Despatches at Washington. — The Philadelphia Inquirer learns from Wash ington, that despatches have been received from Cuba by the Ohio, and of a highly inter esting character. The two American sloops of war cruizing off the port, would remain until the arrival of Commodore McKeever, in the Congress. The prisoners, in all, do not amount to fifty in number, and Gen. Armijo assumes a sort of independent control of them. The Inquirer thinks it is quite proba ble that the Cuban authorities are procrasti nating the affair with the object of hearing from Spain. No other reasonable object can be given for this delay. The correspondent of the North American, however, now con cludes that Count Alcoy desires their execu tion, if possible, and only dallies with our government, to see what is its ultimate temper in the matter, and if he dare do the deed. He well says that it is time for us to listen to no more “distinguished assurances" and pluusi ble words, but to demand action and have it. Proceedings of thb Senate. —Defeat of the Missouri Compromise. —The amendment offered by Mr. Soule to the compromise bill, provid ing for the dividing of California by the Mis souri Compromise line, was, it will be seen, brought to a vote in the Senate on the 28tli ult. and rejected by nearly two to one. The Southern Banner and the Next Pres idency- We find in the last number of this vigor ously edited paper, the following passage oc curring in an editorial laudatory of Mr. Soule's amendment to Mr. Clay’s compromise—an a mendment which has since been rejected by a majority of 17. But it may yet get back to the Senate from the House : “ With this single amendment to the com promise bill, we will engage to fight it through triumphantly. “ Without it, all mil be gloom at the South for the prospects of Gen. Cass for the next Presi dency.” We are sorry to see our Athens cotem porary distressing himself at this juncture, so full of peril to Southern rights, as to the pros pects of tiiis or that man for the next Presi dency. We are very sure that the South is in no mood, now, to go into mourning upon any such minor misfortune as the disappoint ment of this or that aspirant. Old General Taylor is pretty effectually killed off—killed by Seward, Ewing, Collamer & Co., in ad vising his California and New Mexico Execu tive Proviso policy. Yet, not among all the whigs of the South, are any weeping and mourning, and wearing of crape, at this “bloody murder” of his prospects. Why should democrats be crying their eyes out for Gen. Cass, now, because he may not be President in March, 1853 ! The following is the Danner’s reason why Mr. Soule’s amendment should be adopted, and his opinion, as to its acceptabiiity at the South : “If the proposition of the Senator from Louisiana should be adopted, it will preserve the integrity of the national democratic party, and with it the life of the Union itself. It will not give satifaction to*the Southern Ultras, for nothing short of disunion will satisfy teem — but it will be acceptable to ninety-nine hun dredths of the Southern pople. With this sin gle amendment to the compromise bill, we will engage to fight it through triumphantly.— Without it, all will be gloom at the South for the prospects of Gen. Cass for the next Presi dency. The truth is, the South must be pro pitiated in order to save the Union, and this amendment will effectually do it. It will unite the South upon Gen. Cass, should it be passed by liis aid and that of his friends at the North. He will carry every Southern State, and that being certain, it will prevent the formation of Geographical parties and save the Union. He must carry Southern States at the next election, or the Union is gone.” Now, the whigs— the great national con servative whigs ! ! no doubt would argue that their candidate, who ever he should be, whether “ Old Zaek,” or Seward or Fillmore, or Ewing, or whoever else they may select, must be elected, or the Union is gone. This is a mere matter of opinion. So is it that Soule’s amendment, with the Banner’s idea that the line of 3G 30 is to be applied only to California, will be acceptable to ninety-nine hundredths of the Southern people the Southern ultras, and the Southern advocates of Clay’s compromise, as it is, being the re maining one hundredth part of the Southern people. Some of the Whig presses oi Georgia, videlicet, the Augusta Chronicle $ Sentinel and Macon Messenger, boast that seven-tenths of the people ate in favor of Clay’s compromise. We conceive the proper course of the south ern press is to advocate or oppose a measure, according to its merits and its practical bear ing on southern rights, not according to its bearing on this or that man’s aspirations for the Presidency. Now, what is Mr. Soule’s amendment, with the limitation of the Banner? and what its practical bearing on southern rights, if adopted ? In the language of the Banner, “it seeks to apply the Missouri line only to the State of California, leaving the principles of non-intervention for the territories, as provided by the original bill, untouched.” The Banner is correct as to this amendment of Mr. Soule having reference only to Cali fornia. The following is the sect on contain ing the Missouri Compromise : Sec. 4. And be it farther enacted, That the country lying between thirty-six degrees thir ty minutes of north latitude and the boundary line between Mexico and the United States, established by the treaty of Guadalupe Hidal-* go, and extending irom the Pacific to the Sierra Madre, shall constituie a Territory under the name of Territory of South Califor nia, and shall be organized, as such, under the provisions of this bill applying to the Territory of Utah, (changing names where they ought to be changed,) in all respects whatsoever; and shall, when ready, able, and willing to be come a State, and desiring to he such, be ad mitted into the Union, with or without sla very, as the people thereof may desire and make known through their constitution. It is a very good amendment as far as it goes. But the same reasons which recommend the application of the Missouri compromise line to California, hold good for its applica ion to all the territorial acquisitions of the Union. Now, this is but half an adjustment. There is no “ finalitt” in this. We have had the benefit of non-intervention ad nauseam al ready, as to California, ar.d have found it did not work well for the south. Cotemporane ous with non-intervention, we have had the j threat of the enforcement of Mexican law, the lex loci, suspended over California; we have i had all the northern Whigs, Free Soilers, Old Hunkers, Cass Democrats, and Gen. Ca-s ; himself, to say nothing of the Abolitionists, j and nearly all the southern Whigs, with Hen- J ry Clay, and Toombs, and Stephens, leading j the van, ueclaring that non-intervention | practically meant the exclusion v of slavery ! from, the new territories. At the same time the north refused, with some assistance from ! southern Whigs, to give California a territo- j aial governmeut, so as to give southern slave holders a chance to test the lex loci judicially, j The operation of this thing has been the ! frightening of slave-holders away from these countries, and its sole appropriation by anti slavery. Non-intervention with this cotem poraneous and con’rolling exposition, has been the appropriation of the whole country to themselves, by the free soilers. It is here proposed to apply the Missouri line to CalilQrnja. If right to apply it to California, why is it wrong to apply it to Utah and New Mexico? Gen. Taylor is intrigueing to bring in New Mexico, as well as California, as a State; and she will be knocking at the door for admission before California gets in. Why, then, apply t ie Missouri line to one, and non-intervention to the other. I here is no reason for the distinction that we see, ex cept that to do this, might render Gen. Cass's prospects of being President less gloomy at the south. This is just exactly no reason at all. It should not have a feather’s weight with southern men, whose first and great aim is practical justice to the slave-holding sec tion of our country. The Union is a copartnership of equals. The territories are the joint acqusition of the associated treasure, the valor, the military skill and the lavishly poured out blood of the copartnership, of all which the South contri buted her full share, A division of this com mon acquisition by a geographical line, giving a share each to the two contending parties, in to which the partners are now formed, the slaveholding and the non slaveholding, is a piece of plain arithmetic and easily under stood. It is an acquisition that the contend ing parties cannot enjoy in common. That is plain from the nature of the antagonism. A division then, is clearly the only practical and tquitable mode of adjustment. The South will be satisfied with what lies South of 36, 30—about one third of the whole. This and nothing else than this, will be acceptable to ninety-nine hundredths of the Southern peo ple. The Southern democrats supported the non intervention doctrine in 1848, when they sup ported Gen. Cass, with the understanding that it meant, every American citizen, slave holder and non-slaveholder alike, could go into the common territories, with all their pro perty, slaves as well as horses and cattle, flocks and herds, and enjoy the same as property —that this state of things should exist until State Constitutions were formed, and then if slavery be prohibited, and not till then, the slaves became free. They expected at the same time that territorial governments would be given to California and New Mexico, under which the South would have an equal chance with the North, The North did not ac quiesce in this understanding and does not now, and the consequence is that Southern people have not been willing to risk their slave property there. In addition to this Oen. Cass has since interpreted his Nicholson letter to mean that the people of the territories could form territorial governments at any moment, and exclude slavery before they applied to be come States of the Union. Under this practical operation of things.the South has got no benefit from this non-inter vention doctrine, and could get none to the end of time in California, New Mexico, or Utah. All that has killed the Wilmot Proviso at the North is the fact that it is now consid ered there by the great body of the whigs and democrats unnecessary. But if, under this non-intervention doctrine, the South were to be in a fairway to form a Slave State from any part of the common territories, the Wilmot Proviso would be high in favor again. It would be universally popular at the North. It would sweep every thing before it at the North. Not an anti-Wiitnot Proviso man could be elected to Congress, and we should have that outrageous restriction clamped down upon the South by an overwhelming vote. But by the Clay compromise, with non-in tervention applied to Utah and New Mexico (as claimed by Mr. Clay and the majority in Congress) the South is as effectually excluded. The douceur of Mr. Soule’s amendment as to California is more than neutralized by the acidulous ingredient of dismembering Texas and taking from her one hundred and forty thousand square miles of slave territory to give to Free Soil. The Missouri Compromise Line not Dead yet, It is true that the Missouri Compromise line, as applied to California, has been defeat ed in the Senate, by a majority of 17. But this is no proof that it is finally killed. It still lives. It has not lost friends, nor is it destined to do so. It will gain strength, as the chances of Clay’s Compromise grow weak er, and the prospects of Gen. Taylor’s policy decline. Neither of these latter can succeed The friends of the Missouri Compromise line are strong enough to delay and to defeat any other adjustment, and finally force the north into the adoption of this line as the only prac ticable means of settling this question. The majority of 17, in the Senate, against Mr. Soule’s amendmeut, is no indication of the strength of the Clay Compromise. Many who voted against the amendment, will also vote against the Compromise. Its chances are as doubtful as ever in the Senate. We deny the assertion of the Washington Union, that this vote decides the fate of the Missouri Compromise. We deny its asser tion, that the M s-ouri Compromise is now withdrawn from the field. We deny that i. is useless to rely upon it any longer as an available alternative. We believe it the only practicable alterna tive to give peace to the country. It may yet be found that Congress will have to adopt this alternative, or have no adjustment whatever. Messrs. Miller and Jenkins, and the Missouri Compromise. From the Federal Union of the 23d ult. we extract the following paragraph. In speaking of the Missouri Compromise line as one which the Nashville Convention has suggested as an acceptable basis of adjustment, it says : “What party, or fragment of a party is there, that will not rally around this common standard? None in Georgia can object to it. Ir. her last Legislature, there were those who objected then to tender this compromise, bnt not one that we knowot, who was unwilling to accept it. It is the platform contended 'for in the Senate by the wiii. purty, and for which its leader, Mr. A. J. Miller emphatical ly declared on the floor,that “he would tight.” It is the platlrom which Mr. Jenkins, the leader of that party in the House, in language not less bold and decided, urged, all to oc cupy,” If Mr. Miller with the whig party, of which he and Mr. Jenkins are very influential mem bers, will now unite with the Nashville Con vention party of the South in support of this plan of adjustment, we feel sure he will not have to fight fok it. The South can get it without fighting if she will only firmly occu py this plat-form. Come, gentlemen, what say you ? Are you still for the Missouri Com promise ? or, DO YOU PREFER Mil. CLAY’S COM PROMISE, AS BETTER FOR THE SOUTH > That is the issue now before the Southern people. Session of tile Hopewell Presbytery. This Reverend and dignified ecclesiastical body, convened in our city yesterday, and held a session with open doors. It was a pro re rata session, convened at the request of the ltev. E. P. Rogers, Pastor of the First Pres byterian Church of Augusta, to inquire into the truth of certain ru.nors and surmises which have been afloat in this community and State, derogatory to that gentleman. It gives us pleasure to state, that the result is a most complete and triumphant vindica tion of the Reverend gentleman, and an utter annihilation of all the various extravagant and preposterous rumors. They were ali dis solved Lite the baseless fabric of a vision, Leaving not a wreck behind.” The proceedings of the Presbytery will be given to the public through the newspapers of this city in a day or t\vo, when public curi osity, which has for some time been on tip toe, will be relieved and gratified. It will be found to be another edition of the old story of the three black crows. It will also furnish a new illustration of the fact, that appearances are sometimes very deceitful. The wisest and most sagacious may occasionally be misled by them. We avail ourself of the opportunity to ex press our high gratification of a result so aus picious—a gratification which is shared by the entire community. No minister of the Gos pel has ever resided among us, who was more universally respected and beloved, than the reverend gentlemen who has been so painfully forced, Ly unfortunate circumstances, to this public step for his vindication. We are indebted to the Hon. John McQueen of South Carolina, for a pamphlet copy if his recent able and eleqaent speech in the House ot Representatives on the California question. We are also indebted to the Hon. W. C. Dawson, and the Hon. J. W. Jackson, for public documents. Coroner’s Inquest. —The body of a man (supposed to be that of Barney McAvoy, or McAboy, an Irishman, who came to this city about a week ago from Barnwell District,) was found on the river bank, on Sunday morn ing last. After hearing all the testimony that could be obtained, and after a post mor tem examination, conducted by Dr. H. A. Bignon. assisted by Dr. H. Rossignol, the jury returned a verdict that deceased came to his death by congestion of the brain, caused by intoxication. — Republic, 2th in»t. The Rochester Knocking^. —A committee of three ladies in New York, at the request of a gentleman, vi&ited the Rochester knock ers on Wednesday, and to prevent deception took them into a private room, from which they removed the carpets and furniture, and locked the door. When this was done, says the Philadelphia Inquirer, the committee requested the ladies, or knockers, to divest themselves of their clothing, so as to satisfy themselves that there was nothing concealed in their dresses. This likewise was assented to; the young ladies completely disrobed themselves. The expe riments were then commenced, and, strange to say, the knockings were the same as usual, and were as correct in answering questions, detailing incidents,and giving dates a'nd names as they ever were. A new tariff of rates, to go into effect on and after Tuesday, between Charleston, Ham burg and Augusta, is published by the So. Ca, Rail Road Company from which it will be seen that the freight has been materially reduced on many.leading articles, especially groceries and other heavy goods. For instance, su gar, coffee, iron, nails, end ell other ar ticles enumerated in the fourth class, is re* duced 15 cents per 100 to Hamburg, and articles in the second class to 20 cents; while salt, molasses, flour, pipes and hhds., flour, and ojher barrels, and maqy other specific ar cles, are reduced in a correspondent ratjo. The Water-Gas Discovery. —We see it stated tkat the discovery of Mons. Gillard, of Paris, fcr procuring light and heat from wa ter, as Mr. Payne claims also to do in Ameri ca, hag already been generally adopted in the Lancashire towns, England, and has proved completely successful. The Nottingham Guar dian, in noticing the apparatus in the Basford Iron Works, for the production of gas from water, says it will produce 1000 feet in ten hours, at an expense of less than 2s. In speaking of Payne’s new discovery, the New York Journal of Commerce, of the 27th ult., under the head of Gas Explosion, says: “A party composed of distinguished chemists from this city, Princeton and Boston, and other gentlemen interested, met at Worcester a day or two since, to examine the apparatus constructed by Mr. Payne, to illustrate his alleged discovery of a new method of manu facturing gas. Mr. Payne left town on the approach of these gentlemen, but his brother remained to do the honors. They first visited the machine at the Exchange, which remains in the ‘damaged’ condition to which we allu ded last week. They then adjourned to his house, where the gas is shown burning, and succeeded in detecting the trick by which visitors have, heretofore, been deceived. They will furnish a lull account of the exhibition in a day or two, and ‘explode’ this humbug, which has excited such a large share of public attention.” Universal Peace. —lt is stated by a corres pondent of the National Intelligencer, that our next national jubilee—next Thursday — will bring with it the most important fact in the history of the world; that is, the prevalence of Universal Peace, which cannot be said of another single year since the reign of Augus tus Ceasar, or through eighteen hundred and thirty six years. The Compromise. —The Southern (Wash ington D. C.) Press, of the 26th ult., says— “We have to announce, as the opinion of those among the best informed, that ihe Com promise plan ot Mr. Clay will fail.” The Washington Union, of same date, men tions, but discredits, a rumor “that the President was about to come down with a message, to Congress, recommending the Missouri Compromise.” The editor says “We could scarcely believe there was any truth in the report, and subsequent inquiries have convinced us that it was without any foundation. Gen. Taylor may have expressed himself, in hasty conversation with a distin guished Whig from Charleston, to be in favor of any Compromise whic.i may settle the question. But these impressions are probably as evanescent as the breath in which they are uttered.” He says also that he “trusts the friends of the Missouri Compromise will give it a fair trial,” and adds— ‘•We are free to say, that, as an original measure, we should oppose it on the grounds on which we opposed the Nissoun restriction ists in 1819 and 1820. But that measure gave peace to a distract! d people, and it has been acquiesced in tor thirty years by all portions of the coun*ry. We have alwavs been wil ling—may, anxious—to see the Missouri line extended to the shore of the Pacific. But we have believed, for ssvera! weeks, that a ma jority could not be found to extend it. Yet we repeat,let its friends give it a fair trial, and test the sense of Congress upon it. But we trust it will not be a sine yua non, and that, because its friends cannot obtain that measure, they will not, theretore, refuse to adopt some mher to give peace to the country. If they succeed, we shall rejoice; if they fail, we anxiously hope that the members who propose it will still be willing to rally to the support of some practicable measure which will remove the distractions and the anxieties of the peo ple.” A private letter to one of the editors of the Charleston Courier of same date, says : Clay’s Bill will be defeated in the Senate, but the exigency of the crisis in New Mexico and Texas will lead to the passage of a Bill or Joint Resolution, providing for the adjus meat of the Boundary of Texas, irres pective of Mr. Clay’s Bills.” The Contoy Pki-oners. — Correction of a Mistake. —The New York papers of the 16th and 17th inst. contain what purports to be a telegraphic dispatch from this city, stating that late intelligence from Havana had been received in New Orleans, “Announcing that J£e Spanish Government had yielded to the rep resentations of our Consul, aided by other Ameri can authorities, and after passing through the forms of a trial, had liberated the American pris oners, who were free to return to the U. States.” We would inform our respected cotempo raries that such intelligence was never receiv ed here, and the telegraphic correspondent of the New York Associated press assures us that such was never forwarded by him.— N. O. Cresent 2ijth inst. The latest dates received from Havana at New Orleans were to 20th ult. brought by the brig Adams Oray, arrived at the South West Pass. A despatch from that station says— “ The American Consul has demanded the de livery, by the Spanish authorities, of the pris oners and vessels captured near the coast of Yucatan, and has met with a flat refusal. “The excitement is very great, and the Con sul is openly threatened with insult by the lower classes. Democratic Nomination in Florida. —The Democratic Convi ntion of the State of Florida assembled at the lower Suwannee Springs, Columbia county, on Monday the 17th ult. The o'ject of the Convention was to nominate a candidate for Congress. Maj. John Beard was nominated by acclamation. Tne utmost harmony prevailed, and our friends in Florida have great confidence in the success of their can idate. We believe their success is cer tain, if they put forth suitable exertions to obtain it. (communicated.) BURKE COUNTY, July Ist, 1850.

The island of Trindad is the rendezvous, where one ship of-the-line, three frigates,one sloop and four teen gun boats are now ready for sea. It has been whispered that they will sail for Cuba very soon, and for what object no rational man can be ignorant.” A proposition has been made in New Y#rk to employ some of the inmates of the J)eaf and Dumb Asylum as telegraph operators.— There are said to be many highly accomplish ed and industrious young men in the institu tion, admirably fitted for this service, and the deprivation of the power of speech will prove no obstacle to their successful performance of their duties. They are re markable for their industry, perseverance and attention to business. The editor of the New York Courier has the authority of Mr. Stetson, of the Astor House, for saying that the whole story of a contract, or of propositions, by Mr. Pane, for lighting that establishment is a humbug, bo the whole concern seems to be a humbug.

She had en countered heavy westerly weather for the first three and a half days, accompanied by a heavy sea. The engines had not been stepped. She was boarded at sea by the new schooner of the associated press, at three o’clock this morning. The Liverpool cotton market was firm at the last quotations. The sales on Saturday, the 15th; Monday, the 17th; and Tuesday, the 18th, readied 15,000 bales. There is no change in flour. The previous quotations were well maintained.

The commercial news is favorable. Later advices from India are received, and are unfavorable in a commercial point of view. The commercial intelligence from China was not regarded as favorable. The political news from England is of con siderable importance.

Their resignation, in consequence of this defeat, was hourly expected. {From the Savannah Republican.') From Florida. By the mail from Florida, on Saturday morn ing last, we learn that the people of Hills borough county (in the vicinity of Tampa) have had a public meeting, at which, among others, the following declaration was issued: That the people of the county of Hillsbor ough, desire the General Assembly of this State, at their next ensuing session, to pass an act directing the Governor of the State to cause the Indians to be forthwith removed to the lands assigned them west of the Mississip pi river, and that the said act provide the means necessary to carry the same into ex ecution. In the accomplishment of this de sirable measure, the people of Hillsborough rely with confidence upon the co-operation and assistance of their sister counties through out the State. Meanwhile, in order to facilitate matters, the meeting recommends tnat the General Government should make war up n the In dians. The editor of the Republican learns that some of he twenty-five warriors about to move from Florida, will be g'-oompanied by their families. The same paper furnishes the substance of the remarks ot Bowlegs to Capt. Casey, of the Army. The chief said that they were willling ta tie restricted within narrower limits, but that his young men would rather fight than leave the country entirely. He also stated that the “pale laces” could gain nothing but evil if they should send their red brethren away by force, for their Propet had told them an evil spirit would take possession of the country ss soon as they should leave it,which would destroy every “pale lace” that tres passed upon their hunting grounds. The Republican has the following on the trade of the St. John’s: Some idea may be formed of the trade of our river, when we state that there was last year shipped from he St. John's river from 55 to 60 cargoes yellow pine timber and sawed lumber, and there will be more than that ship ped this year. From the first of lust Septem ber to this time, there has been shipped not less than 2,500 bales of cotton, nearly all Sea Island, and valued at $150,000, besides some 250 hogheads of sugar, hides, skins, and moss. Thepa is now in the vicinity of this town some 600 barrels <d virgin dip turpentine, valued it $2 75 per barrel; and if the business, which is in its infancy, proves as profitaole ai is antici pated, there will be made some 2,900 barrels. The lumber finds a market at the North; nearly all the cotton, sugar, hides, skins, and moss are sent to Savannah; and at least oi.e fourth of the value thereof finds its way back in the shape of merchandise purchased in that city. The turpentine business has as yet yelfled no exports, but we have a still on the river and expect shortly to be shipping spirits of turpentine and rosin. The cotton, skins, hides and moss, have al been transported by the semi-weekly steamers running from Palatka to Savannah, and a car go of sugar, as we have already mentioned, has been forwarded from the plantation of Capt. Sadler by schooner. The latter fact, iq proof that the steamers have rnoye freight than they can at all times carry. By the above statements it will be seen that the trade of the St. John’s river is of consid erable importance to the city of Savannah to substantiate which it is only iiecessary to re fer to the fact thfAt Messts. Brooks & Tupper, agents and owners of the semi-weekly strain ers,find it to their interest to build a new boat for the line. The trade ot the St. JOun’s river has almost doubled in the last two years, and is greatly on the inorease. The population of this town has intreased 25 per cent in the last year. It is useless to comment on the qualities and advantages of the river St. John's. It is sufficient to say tfiat it is navigable for the Steamer St. Mathews 230 miles from its mouth; and when the orange insects cease their des tructive ravages of the orange tree, most of that distance will be, is of old, producing the finest oranges in the world, The Obstacles to Cheap Postage. —We learn that the Postmaster General and Ist As sistant, Mr. Hobbie, are dec : dedly opposed to a reduction of inland letter postage to two cen's ; snd it is believed that this is one rea son why the House Committee has not made its report before now. It will be asked why do they oppose this measure? Have not the people in every section of the country called for it ? Have not millions of the most intel ligent and enterprising of our citizens asked for two cents pre-paid ? But they say this rate will not pay. Suppose it does not, and for a while the Treasury should be required to pay back to the Post Office a part of the large sum that is due it, who would be in jured ? The people ask for this reduction, and it is the duty of the Committee and Con gress to obey their wi-hes, and not the dicta tion of the Postmaster General and his Assis tant. We know that from the days of Charles A. Wickliffe until now, the whole Post Office Department, with a few honorable exceptions, has been opposed to the reduction of postage. Ruin to the Department was predicted by them, but the will of the people was obeyed by Congress, and what has been the result ? | The highest state of prosperity. The letters have increased in four years from 24,000,000 to 62,000,000, and the revenue to a larger sum than was ever realized in one year since the Post Office Department was organized ; and after paying all the expenses leaving seven hundred thousand dollars surplus to the credit of the Post Office. This does not look like ruin. Let Congress comply with the peti tions and prosperity of the Post Office will be increased.— Baltimore Clipper. The portico of the new Custom House is completed and the casings are removed from the columns. These columns have been set up with remarkable rapidity by Mr. Sheldon, who had charg; of the task.

Patriot, '23d nit. Commercial. Augusta Market, July 3- COTTON.—()nr last review left the market in a quiet state, with the Niagara’s advices just at hand. The intelligence brought by her was, that the Liverpool Cot ton market was unchanged, but prices, if any thing, firmer. This caused a pause in our market on Wednes day, and buyers refused to operate unless at a decline, to which ho ders refused to submit; the few sales made, however, were at a slight concession. In this condi tion our market remained on Thursday and Friday.— On Saturday, a better feeling was manifested, and the s ight decline on Wednesday was recovered. On Sun day tile Pacific’s advices to the 19th u!t came to hand, and our market opened on Monday with a good enqui ry in the morning, and transactions were effected dur ing the day to tlie extent of nearly 1000 bales, at pri ces current nefore the receipt of the Niagara’s news.
