Complimentary Festival in Honor of John
Mitohei.
The grand complimentary banquet in honor
of John Mitcbel, took place on Monday night,
at the Broadway Theatre, New York, in the
presence of a large company, and a number of
distinguished guests. Letters were revived
from Archbishop Hughes, Bishop Wain weigh ,
Gen. Cass, Thomas O’Conner, Gen. Scott, Mr.
fee ward, Hamilton Fish, Gen. Shields, and Post
master General Campbell, declining attendance
for various reasons. The letters were read, and
those receiving the greatest applause, say* the
Tribune, were from Thomas O’Connor, General
Shields, and Archbishop Hughes.
Speeches were made by Charles O’Connor,
John McKeon, John Mitchel, Thomas Francis
Meagher, Horace Greeley, Patrick J. Smytbe,
Richard O’Gorman, Robert Emmett, and J.
Brougham.
The speech of Mr. Mitchel wa make room
lor. It was preceded by the following regular
toast:
Our Guest , John Mitchel— His services and hit
sacrifices lor his country render his name im
perishable on the pages of its history. From
the prison aud the chains to which tyranny con
signed him we welcome him to freedom in Arne
rica. Music—“ Yankee Doodle.”
Mr. Mitchel was then introduced by the
President, in a few pungent sentence*, as the
man whom the assemblage present had congre
gated to honor. He was received with a torrent
of cheers, which seemed to shake the roof of the
vast edifice. Mr. Mitchel spoke as follows:
MR. MITCHEL’S SPEECH.
Mr. Chairman , Citizens of New York , Citizens
of America: It makes my pulse beat stronger to
find myself in the presence of free citizens, to
speak to an assembly of men whom I can ad
dress by the name of *'Citizen.” Often in my
native country I have stood before multitudes of
beings, apparently human beings, having the
gait and aspect of men, nay, having many of the
attributes of man in his natural state—the feel-_
ings, the passions, the individual courage of
men, but possessing none of the rights and dig
nity, none oi the civic and political organization,
the national pride and power, and ambitien that
set men above the beast and but little lower
than the angels.
Oh! I have stood in the presence of myriads
of my countrymen and have not seen the face of
one citizen, nor even of one loyal Bubject; and,
believe me, this is a hideous sight. True, citi
zenship was out of reach there—loyalty was im
possible there ; for law was not, yet by solemn
award of what they call law, I, who speak to
you, was formally deprived of what they call
my citizenship; from that false law I have the
honor to be an outlaw; the individuals who
term themselves the government of my native 1
country, by formal procedure in a place purport- ;
ing to be a court of'jhstice, divested me of my i
statute and high prerogative as ari Irish serf, and j
thereby doomed me—cruel government—to be,
for the rest of life, an American citizen. This
is more than rehabilitation—it is promotion.
The monarchical East cast me out—the Repub
lican West welcomes and embraces me. One
slave the less in Europe—Out freeman more,
America, to thee!”
Since I landed on your happy shores, I hav«
anxiously sought to fathom, to guage, to weigh !
and to appreciate exactly, the real meaning, tha
actual available value of the public honora
which Lave been heajied upon me or offered to
me; and with all the predispojition in the world
to doubt, and undervalue and disparage popular
demonstrations in general, I cannot refuse to «ee
in all this a significant, a portentious fact. I
know well, indeed, wbatthe English piess will
•ay, and will try to think of it. The Ameri
cans, they will say, (for I know their slang by
heart,) iove a little excitement and novelty;
Maris and Grisi not having arrived, as expected,
the merry public of New York condescends to
amuse itself in the meantime with the ran'ings
ot an Irish rebel or two. Then, there is the
“ Irish vote,” as it is called. Scheming politi
cians, they will say, want to make capital for
the Hard Shells or lor the Soft, and so they force
themselves to enact a little Hibernian enthusi
asm for one evening. But this explanation wiil
not serve; though comfortable to the British
mind, it is not true ; there is something deeper;
for, in the first place, I am no orator that 1
should draw an audience, enchained through it*
ear, as the queens of song can do ; neither can I
be of the smallest service to Hard Shells or to
Soft.
In political conchology I have no skill—the
mystery of Hunkerism is unknown to me, and
what a Silver Gray may mean, alas ! I cannot
tell. Let England think of it well; in no an
gle article can I minister to the popular appetite
tor excitement. I cannot prove the Pope to be
an Antichrist, as one Gavazzi, I am told can do;
neither am I able to demonstrate that the
Protestants are the locusts who were to arise
•ut of the bottomless pit as Catholic theologians
show clearly enough. The great Anglo Saxon
idea also has in me neither a preacher nor a pu
pil. Though an Anglo Saxon by blood and
race, I confess 1 derive no pride from the cir- .
cumstance; because I abhor a bully; I would
bang a robber; I spit upon “ manifest destiny;”
I despise that Anglo Saxon courage and entrgy
which is still for war—war with the weak, and
cries peace, peace, when it meets its match ; and
on the whole I could find quite as much to say
lor the great Fant/avic idea of Eastern Europe, I
as for this Anglo Saxon humbug which England
of late years has been trying to cram you with.
I would have the British public also to take
note of the fact that ever since I landed in San
Francisco I have spoken uniformly of the Brit,
ish Government with bitter and vindictive hos
tility. I would not receive the hospitalities of
America under a false pretense. I would keep
back nothing of what was in my heart—and I
knew that America was a great commercial
country, New York a great trading city; that
Wall street and Lombard street are cousins and
dear friends—that England is here regarded as a
rich customer: Ireland as a mendicant pauper
and useful drudge. Yet here to night we are
within sight of that Wall street, iu the centre of
the great emporium of the West, and here I am
an avowed enemy of English power, greeted
with heait and voice by the proud republicans
of this grand city, and whitest hands have wav
ed their gracious welcome to the banished out
law. Here is a phenomenon which will assu
redly puzzle John Bull, as he calls himself. How
can they possibly (John wilt say) make dollars
out of him? For you know it is an article of
faith in England that Americans worship noth
ing, believe in nothing, tut the eternal dollar.
Now I will suggest to John a solution of the
problem, which he can coasider at leisure. The
explanation, perhaps, is, that Americans, much
as they love excitement anil novelty, much as
they relish a spicy religious controversy, or an
impassioned political harrangue—much as they
love dollars and clipper ships—love Freedom and
Justice more. Perhaps it is that a rich and pros
perous neighbor is liked well enough here as a
customer, but a baffled, beggared, outlawed vota
ry of freedom is loved as a brother. Perhaps it I
is that the eloquent sermon preached by whiz
xing bullets from Bunker’s Hill over the burning
roofs of Charlestown, has sunk deep into the na
tional heart, and begins to fructify for all nations, i
Ah j perhaps it is that the br-iwnjr child. Young
Democracy, born that day to the music ot crash- j
ing roof-tree and ringing rifles, and baptised
abundantly in blood, has grown to be a man, and j
begins to feel that he may one day be called up- !
on to carry the saving doctrine of that sublime
christening sermon to all the ends of the earth, j
It is well, then, that I am no orator, and no !
politician, and no polemical g adiator; it is well
that i have no other claim on you than simply
as an advocate of liberty. Thus your pro- i
councemeut to-r.ight for democratic freedom— j
your recognition ot the cause of Ireland as a le
gitimate branch of that sacred cause, is the more j
emphatic, the more unmistakeable, the more
pore and simple, the more encouraging to crush
ed and stugglmg liberty all the world over. But
I know also that the monarchical press of Eu
rope will further accuse Americans of a breach
of international comity in this matter—of the ;
politeness tnat should reign in the intercourse
between well bred powers. Already Austria
feels disgusted at the rudeness of an American
commander in carrying off the poor Hungarian s
Koszta. out of the talons of her two-headed vul- '
ture. Great Britain must assuredly feel hurt
that her political enemies, whom she has tried
to brand as felons, should be comforted and abet
ted in their fellony by America. Oh ! rude re
publicans. where are your manners? Is this
your comity * Do you think nothing of putting
an affront upon a constitutional, a liberal govern
ment from which your own Government has re
ceived asurances of friendly relations ? Interna
tional comity is a great matter;even some Amer
ican statesmen cultivate that breach of good
manners.
I perceive that the Secretary of State at
Washington, in his last note to the Austrian
minister, actuated certainly by the nicest sense
of diplomatic courtesy, has taken care to warn
adventurers and seditious propagandists that
tMj United Sta es will in no wise sanction or
protect them if they engage in Iradulent mach
inations for disturbing the internal quiet of her
nations; and he lurther declares “that the United
Spates will do as much as any of the European
powers to promote tranquility.” In all this
there seems to me, I contes«, more of comity to
wards the scepteied conspirators of Europe, and
less of generosity towards the exiled victims,
than I should have thought befitting the manifes
to of an American minister. Now I have a
word to say on the subject of international com
ity. The phrase contains a falsehood. Nations
have nothing to do with it. Intermonaichical
comity would be its right name, as an emampla
or two will suffice to show.
Louis Napoleon, you remember, ordered the
wandering Magyar not to set the sole of his weary
foot upon French soil, and he passenger too, on
board an American ship. This, you might think,
was discourtesy. God bless you! it was true
politeness—politeness, not indeed, to the home
less exile—not the nation whose flag waved over
him—but politeness to the Kaiser of Austria; it
was a delicate attention to the Czar of all the
Russians. The Czar himself, also, is the very
pink and flower of that sort of courtesy and
comity ; it is true, he could flog the ladies of the
Polish convent on the bare back, but if you only
saw him at a review in Vienna, with his friend,
the other emperor, or in London, with his friend,
Her Gracious Majesty, it would do you good to
witness the peace aud love that reign amoag
these crowned brethren and sisters. Great Bri
tain, however, is certainly the most accomplish
ed master in this species of politeness.
You remember that after the late Italian strug
gle, certain weather-worn refugees, with a price
upon their heads, made their way to Malta, and
asked permission to land ; but the British Gov
ernor sternly waved them off—the guns of the
fortress showed their grinning muzzles. The
poor souls wanted only shelter and permission to
take lodgings and buy victuals—lt is all very
well, said the Governor, but you cannot stop
here, and so they passed on, to Barbara, or Mo
rocco, or—heaven knows where. Strange to
say, the repulsed refugees saw no politeness in
this reception, yet it was true international com
ity ; it was an act, I do assure you, ot the sweet
est and most chivalrous courtesy—toward the
royal jailer of Naples, and the imperial execu
tioner of Vienna. That was the most exquisite
politeness, too, which impelled the British Min
isters to place the foreign residents in London
under police surveillance, upon a representation
from the Austrian Court; it was true courtesy
! that made them send constables a few months
ago to break open Kossuth’s house and search for
arms and correspondence. Above all, it was an
; effort of the most refined urbanity, that stealing
i of the Italian letters in the English post-office,
copying them for the use of the King of Naples,
and re-sealing and forwarding them as if noth
ing had happened, whereby the noblest hearts in
Italy were betrayed to their destruction.
I have observed that an English newspaper,
published in New York, takes me to task tor
citing this execrable case of the Bandieras against
the English Government, calling it an isolated
; case, but merely a detected and clearly exposed
example ol the settled system of British-office
espoinage—he would have seen that there was
hardly a distinguished statesman of Britain, these
thirty years back, who did not steal letters, and
j that among them was the truly liberal Lord
j Morpeth—his present title I forget. He would
have seen that Parliament did not disapprove
! the practice, but distinctly approved and sanc
; tioned it by throwing out with large majorities
a resolution condemnatory of it—he would have
j seen that detective eaves-drooping is still the
j law and the practice; and finally he would have
known that the liberal Lord John Russell in vo
j ting against all inquiry into the practice, and all
j interference with it, could only regret (L cite his
own words) “ that the practice could not be so
; effectual now as betore the exposure had been
made of its existence, would act as a kind ol
; warning.”
Mr. Secjetary Marcy saya the United States
Government will do as much as any of the Eu
| ropean nations, to maintain tranquility. And
he shows his good feeling and courtesy toward
i the ciowned heads by terming their fugitive en
| emies adventurers and seditious propagandists.
I would that I could know whether this Secre
i tary does truly herein represent the sentiment
jof the nation. Has America, indeed, as deep an
interest in the tranquility of Ireland and Hun
gary and Germany, under their several Emper
j ors and Kings and Grand Dukes, as those Em
perors, Kings and Grand Dukes, themselves ?
And if America has a mind to engage in this
contest of politeness, where will she stop?—
Will you place detectives to watch our houses,
and to dog our motions? “America will do as
much!” Will your'Postmaster General, (for
give me for imagining the bare possibility of it.)
j soften the seals of oui letters, and imitate the
impressions and copy the contents? Shall we
never take a fetter from the postmaster, without
7 carefully examining to see whether any comity
has been practised upon our sealing wax ?
But what am I speaking of? Am I not in
America? It was not for this the farmers and
traders of these colonies fought and conquered.
The courtesies of this country, I believe, are due
1 to the people of Europe, not to the people’s mas
ters and enemies. And how deeply these poor
! people need—how richly they deserve—your
sympathy ! Do you know who and what man
! lier ot men are they—the refugees of’4B—whom
that Secretary calls adventurers and seditious
pro agandists * They are the very flower of
! Europe, and the very salt of the earth—the
! i P r oud, thoughtful students, the in?pired poets,
j knightly soldiers of freedom and right. A
i rench author has well said, that the genuine
. representative of ancient European chivalry is
l n ° w chivalry of young Demociacy—the
i ch * va,l T tilat g° es a* gayly to the barricade,
. when duty calls, as to a fete champetre —with the
, courage of a lion to face tyrants and the gentle
f courtesy of a woman to the weak and the poor,
i i where are they now ? In the swamps
j of Cayenne they tend the sugar cane, or they
! are hoeing corn on the penal farms of Algeria,
j Somewhere in Ohio wanders, and feeds his hogs
j the German Übland. Oh, heaven! Apollons
: once m °ro among the herdsmen of Admetus, and
; the herdsmen know not that it is the sun-god.
On some tropical palm tree hangs now the si
' lent harp of Ferdinand Freiligrath ; in silence
he devours hi« heart, and song comes to him ne>
ver, never more. These two men were mem
bers of the Frankfort Convention—their tri-col
or is trampled down, and by the rivers of Baby
lon they sit and weep. Garibaldi molds can
dies or curries hides, or commands a trading brig.
Pacing the forest paths of Yan Dieman’s Land,
listening to the murmuring Derwent, .or study
ing with the zeal of an under-graduate, l see
the stately O'Brien. So calm in his mien, so
haughty in his eye, no man can see that his
heart is breaking. Americans! will you call
these men adventurers and seditious propaganda
j ists? Will you warn them againat fraudulent
machinations tending to disturb your genteel
friends, the Sovereigns of Europe? Once more
j pardon me the question.
The Mayflower Pilgrims were adventurers
Benjamin Franklin was a siditious propagandist;
and if Washington had been taken he would
have been sent to Botany Bay. America. I
knew, will not be false to her own high tradi
j tions and to the immortal men who made her
i history. And Ido indeed believe that the time
is coming when America will have to decide
once for all, whether she will be an ally of tyrants'
or the people—who can doubt which? Nothink
| ing man now imagines that the present order of
| things in Europe can be sustained by multiply.
; ing bayonets and heaping on taxes forever. The
i Creator of the world did not, assurdly, kindle the
noblest spirits and crown with intellect the most
god-like brows on earth—only that those spirits
should consume themselves for ever in vain, that
those lofty intellects should be dragged down into
idiocy or wrung into insanity forever, in an
eternal and hopeless conflict with cureless wrong
and slavery and falsehood.
No, I believe in a moral and intellectual elec
tricity. I believe that nothing of all the thought
and passion expended for this cause has been lost,
but that it is heating, kindling, even now the
atmosphere of the world. I believe that not a
solitary captive has sighed forth his soul alone in
the dungeons of Naples; not a gallant soldier has
fallen with his feet to the foe on the fields of
Hungary, or Lombardy, or Baden; not an im
prisoned student has grown prematurely bald,
or prematurely grey, or has gone mad in the
cells of Spielberg, but his spirit lives and move*
about us, helping to swell and kindle the leav
ening, heaving, seething mass of that field which
breeds Cod’s earthquakes and his lightnings.
Citizens ol New York, I thank you; and I hava
repaid your kindness at least with candor.
No secretary or man shall charge me with
fraud. lam a professed revolutionist now, an
adventurer, a seditious propagandist. I mean to
make use of the freedom guaranteed to me as a
citizen or inchoate citizen of America, to help
and to stimulate the movement of the European
democracy, and especially of Irish independence.
I mean to claim*for the revolutionary refugees
bera, not only the hospitality and the comity of
America, but also her sympathy and active
friendship; nay, 1 claim for them that America
shall be to them the very standing ground pray
ed for by Archimede*, whereon they may plant
a lever that shall move the world.
Thi?* speech was received throughout with dis
tinguished marks of approval. The applause was
at times most vociferous, and so constant that
the time of delivery was thereby much extended
In the course of Judge Emmett’s remarks he’
gave an account ot the disposition of the funds
contributed in 1848, to aid the cause of Ireland’s
freedom, and which was subsequently placed in
the hands of the ‘'lrish Directory,” of which the
Judge was a member. It appears that there
were various propositions to dispose of the fund,
but was none acceded to until it was suggested
that it might be devoted in aiding in the release
of the Irish exiles in Yan Dieman’s Land. Mr.
P. J. Smith was the agent through whom the
Directory effected its purpose. He proceeded to
that colony, and the escape of Mitchel, Meagher
and other exiles was the noble result. The an
nouncement was received with loud applause.

AUGUSTA, GA.
FRIDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 30.
Speech of Mitchel, the Irish Patriot.
As a fine specimen of eloquence arid caustic
sarcasm, we publish the speech of John Mitch
ell at the late New York Festival. He is a
highly intellectual man, and his speeches display
a brilliancy of style end force of expression not
inferior to those of Kossuth, which created so
profound a sensation at the time of thair delive
ry. They do not approach, however, to that
lolty height of philosophic disquisition, or em
brace so grand a scope of thought, as did those
of the great Magyar. In the knowledge of our
people, of our principles of government and
the spirit which actuates its policy towarls for
eign nations, Mr. Mitchel displays quite as la
mentable a deficiency. Kossuth made the mis
take of seeking to arouse popular sentiment
against the settled policy of our government, to
avoid entangling alliances, and keep clear of the
wars and internal feuds of other nations—a policy
which has almost the sacredness of religious
taith among our citizens, since it is stamped on
the popular mind by the calm wisdom of Wash
ington, as solemnly conveyed to them in the
language of his Farewell Address.
Mr. Mitchel has, with just as little tact, sought
to array popular sentiment against our system
of recognizing, and treating respectfully every
existing government de facto , regardless of the
question of rightful dominion. There is a comi
ty due to every nation with whom we hold re
lations of commerce and amity. It would be
plainly absurd, to look to any other representa
tion of national will and national sentiment in
our intercourse than to the organized power at
the head of a government, however despotic.—
How long could commercial intercourse and
peace be kept up with England for instance, if
our government undertook, in its diplomatic re
lations, to recognize the Liberators and the
Orangemen of Ireland, or the Conservatives or
Tories, and the Whigs or Liberals of England as
existing powers in the State. Martin Van Bu
ren was justly rebuked by the United States
Senate for having,while Secretary of State, com
municated to the British Government the pros
pect of a party coming into power in our halls
of Congress, which would reverse the action of
the previous administration which he stated did
not have the confidence of the American people.
The effort to stir up prejudice against
retary of State, by finding fault with the senti
ments of his official despatches, will prove an
egregious failure. It will greatly cripple the in
fluence of this arrogant stranger, who comes
to our shores the avowed propagandist of sedi
tion and revolution among the subjects of a Gov
ernment on friendly terms with our own. He
overrates his own capacities, and underrates the
good sense of the people whose hospitalities he
is enjoying, and under the friendly shelter of
whose tree and tolerant government he proposes
to fulminate his thunders and hurl his firebrands.
He ha 3 yet to learn that however the American
people may divide into parties, and wrangle
among themselves, the moment a stranger un
dertakes to array them in opposition to their
own government, or to its high officials, for giv
ing utterance to its ancient and well approved
policy, they will view him as a Charlatan and
an intermeddler.
There was want of tact, as well as want of
taste, in Mr. Mitchel’s attack on the Secretary
of State, as the result will show. His projected
paper will now be viewed with suspicion by
many prudent and patriotic Americans. It
will be view'ed as aiming to make war on the
peace policy of our country, in the hops of revo
lutionizing popular sentiment.
In despite, too, of Mr. Mitchel’s disclaimer of
ignorance in political concbologv, his speech
will subject him to the suspicion of being under
Hurd Shell influences. It will be received in
many quarters as an assault upon the Adminis
tration, planned by knowing ones among the
Adamantines, and of whom the Irish exile is
made either a tool or an accomplice.
We sympathize fully with his individual
wrongs, and those of his country ; but we are of
the opinion the American people are in no need
of lectures from him as to the conduct of their
diplomatic relations with foreign countries.
Mnemonics.
Miss Parker, who comes to our city with high
recommendations as a teacher of the valuable
art of Memory, gives a Lecture, this evening, at
Masonic Hali. As it is a free Lecture, and the
subject not only a novel one, but highly inter
esting, we hope there will be a full attendance.
We wish every subscriber we have would at
tend her course, (which consists of four lessons)
as many of them are very deficient in this impor
tant study. With four lessons, and some little
attention afterwards, she undertakes materially
to assist the dullest memory. For a few days
she may be found at the United States Hotel.
We especially commend Miss Parker to the
ladies of our community, as she has won many
friends in other communities by her lady-like
deportment, and we doubt not that her Lectures
will prove both interesting and useful to those of
her sex, who will favor her with their patronage.
Sale of Segars.
We would call the attention of dealers ti the
sale ol 300,000 Segars to take place in Charles
ton on Thursday next, by Messrs. R. & A. P.
Caldwell. This is a positive sale on account of
underwriters and all concerned.
The Campbell Minstrels.
This mirth provoking company have been de
lighting our citizens during the past week at
Conceit Hall. Their jokes are good and well
told; their music is extra, both vocal and instru
ental. This is the last night but one of their
performance in this city, and those who do not
avail themselves of the present opportunity of
hearing and seeing them, will lose a rich musical
treat. Newcomb is a host himself.
The Carolina Times.
We have before us the prospectus of’ a paper
under the above title, to be published in Colum
bia, S. C., about the Ist of February next, by
Messrs. Greneker & Lamotte, and edited by Jas.
H. Giles, Esq. The Times will be published
daily, tri-weekly and weekly, at $6, $3 and $2
per annum, in advance. The proprietors have
our best wishes for their future success. Colum
bia is large enough, and ought to support two
daily papers.
Female Shoemakers. —lt is stated that in
Washington some of the most respectable and
independent women, married and single, engage
in the shoe-making business as an agreeable
pastime, as well as from motives of economy.
“ The gaiters which cost us $3 at the stores/’
writes a female, “ cost us one day’s labor and 60
cents for the best material bought at retail.
One of us has made five- shoes for ourselves and
children, without neglecting other household du
ties. On Capitol Hill alone there are thirty la
dies thus employed, and about two hundred in
the city. We find it v«ry easy to make two
pair of children’s shoes in a day, and they cost j
us here $1.25 a pair.”
A company has been formed in New York lor l
the purpose of developing the value of Richard |
Montgomery’s patent for making corrugated
boiler plate. The patentee claims that rolling
the iron in small curves or arches, instead of in
planes, gives it largely increased strength. He
says: “It borrows from architecture the princi
ple of the arch, and thus imparts tp shells of iron
rolled in this new form a strength at least ten
times greater than that possessed by plates in
present use. It is equivalent to the discovery
of a new metal of increased strength.” The
corrugated plates are intended for the manufac
ture of boilers, flues, and locomotives.
Secretary Guthrie has directed a general cir
cular to the Collectors of Customs for the pur
pose of correcting certain material defects in the
forms and time* of rendering the returns by the
Act of 20th February, 1820. To effect this ob
ject the Secretary proposes to collect a nomencla-
I ture of articles, to be arranged alphabetically
I and showing, Ist, The name of each variety of
j all articles imported, whether enumerated or
| non-enumerated, subject to duty or free. 2d.
The commercial or scientific denomination of
the general class to which such variety belongs.
3.1. The place of growth, production or manufac
ture. 4th. the rate of duty, if any, on such arti
cles. sth. Such information of the character of
articles not in common or familiar use, and of the
purposes to which they are most usually applied,
as it may be in your power to lurnisb. He pro
poses also to secure the returns of Commerce and
Navigation for each quarter as near as possible
after the close of the quarter to which the re
turn refers, instead of being delayed, as at this
time, for weeks and even months together.
Virginia Gold Mining.— The N. Y. Ex-
shownfsome specimens of ore ob
tained from the mines of the Gardiner Gold Min
ing Company, on the Rappahannock river. The
ore, it is said, is extremely rich, and will yield a
full average of fifty dollars per ton. The speci
mens were much beyond this estimate. This
company is now fully organized, and intend op
erating on a large scale.
Thk Garay Grant. —The Union denies the
truth of the rumor that Mr. Gadsden, our Min
ister in Mexico, had entered into a negotiation
on the subject of the Garay grant, or that he had
any instruction on the subject. It appears that
General Wood, of Pennsylvania, the agent of
the Garay Company, accompanied by the Min
ister, had brought the subject before Santa An
na, and met with a rebuff.
The Savannah Morning News understands
that counterfeit fifty dollar bills of the Bank of
Hamburg, S. C., are in circulation in the west
ern part of Georgia. They are said to b e ex
tremely well executed, and consequently diffi
cult to distinguish from the genuine.
The Hon. Mr. Stephens, of Geoigia, is sick at
his lodgings in Washington.
Friday last was a most tempestuous day at
Norfolk. About four o’clock n the afternoon,
the wind suddenly shifted from east to west, and
for a short time blew a perfect tornado. The
steamer Augusta, from Richmond, with a large
number of passengers, amongst whom weie sev
eral members of the Virginia Legislature, which
had taken a recess for the holidays, took the
gale in Hampton Roads, and was in imminent
peril during its continuance ; the passengers
were dreadfully alarmed, considering the chances
of preservation to be two to one against them.
At Baltimore, also, on Friday afternoon, shortly
after five o’cloci', a strong north-west wind set
in, and continued to blow with great violence
during the night. Considerable damage has no
doubt resulted from it, and it is feared that the
shipping on the coast will suffer greatly.

A Constantinople correspondent of the Boston
Evening Traveller writing under date of the 15th
of November, says:
We have now lying in the Bosphorus, a very
heavy English and French fleet, consisting of
from forty to fifty ships, mapy of which are of
the largest class. These, added to the Egyptian
and Turkish duets will make a force, perhaps
more formidable than the world yet ever saw’
afloat in one squadron. Three English and three
French vessels have just gone out into the Black
Sea, on a cruise of observation.

Conference of the Methodist Episcopal
Church. ✓
Macoh, Dec. 22, 1853.
Conference convened this morning at the
usual hour, when a communication from Bishop
Paine was read, announcing that the illness of
his wife would prevent his attending the Con
ference. A large number of the ministers ar
rived last night, and the meeting is now well
nigh full. The morning session was consumed
in hearing reports Irom the committees appoint
ed to examine candidates for Deacons and El
ders’ orders.
An afternoan sees : on was held to receive the
statistics of the year 1853. These are not fin
ished yet, and therefore not sent. The anniver
sary sermon of the Missionary Society, which
was to be preached to-night by Rev. W. G. Con
ner, of Columbus, is postponed on account of the
rain. The same circumstance occurred last year
in Athens—a remarkable coincidence in the his
tory of the two years. The same minister was
to preach the same sermon, and prevented two
years in succession. X.

Conference opened w T ith religious service by
Rev. John H. Chapel. Minutes read and con
firmed.
A communication from the Rev. J. P. Smithe,
of Florida, requesting the Georgia Conference to
co-operate with them in the next general Con
ference to change the boundary of the Georgia
and Florida Conferences, so as to include within 1
the limit of the latter several counties in the
lower part of our State. The communication
was referred to a committee to report hereafter.
A circular from Rev. Thos. S. Summers, Edi- j
tor of the Sunday School Visitor, was read and
referred to the Board of Manageis of the Sun- j
day School Society.
An application was made by the Trustees of
the Cassville Female College to be received un
der the patronage and care of the Conference.—
There are already two which stand in the same !
relation, besides the Wesleyan Female College,
-which belongs entirely to the Conference. We
hear that another at Cuthburt is to be offered,;
which will make five connected with the Con- i
ference.
Rev. Chas. W. Thomas has received the ap
pointment as Chaplain in the U. S. Navy, and
the President of Conference requested to con
firm the appointment.
Interesting communications from Bishop Soule i
and Dr. Boring were read, calling lor men for
the California work. Bishop Soule stated that
the men who went from Georgia, five in num- ,
her, were worth their weight in California gold.
Dr. Boring wants some more of the same sort.—
This is giving Georgia a high character on the
Pacific, and reflecting honor on us at home.

Cox. Aulick. —Some time ago Mr. Schenck,
Minister at Brazil, made a charge against Com.
Aulick, that he had carried out the late Brazil
ian Minister, Mr. Mscedo, in the frigate Susque-
hanna, and though Congress had provided for ]
that purpose, gave the Minister to understand
that he waseutertained at Com. Aulick’s own j
expense. Com. A. has since sent a letter to the
Secretary of the Navy, indignantly denying the
whole charge, and demanding a court martial
The Secretary says:
“ Tour disavowal of the offence, in terms go
full and explicit, is gratifying to the Department.
I do not, theiefore, deem it necessary to order
either a Court of Inquiry or a Court Martial.
You will consider yourself as waiting orders.”
We are truly gratified to learn that clay, adapt

at Graniteville, in this State, and that in view of
encouraging a new' branch of industry, the
Graniteville Company have granted the exclu

Company ot Bennington, Vt., upon the condition j
that it shall be worked upon the spot. This
condition has, we understand, been accepted, and
operations will be commenced in the Spring. A

The Spanish Court and its Morals.
The London Times, in a recent article on the
averse reception given to the Queen of Spain at
the op&ra, takes occasion to point out the cause
of it in this wise :
“Wg are now witnessing the spectacle of the
decay and extinction of Spanish loyalty. That
which the imbecility of the Fourth Charles, and
the selfish brutality of Ferdinand VII. could not
effect, has been accomplished by a young wo
man and a queen. The task ot extinguishing
so remarkable a feeling as that of the loyalty of
the Spanish name, was no easy one. Misgov
ern meat would not have done it. Queen Isa
bella might have laughed at law and order, jus
tice aud humanity, and her subjects would not
have hissed her in her opera box, as they did the
other day. It was on the 18th of the present
month, that a Spanish Queen endured this last
indignity at the hands of her people. There
had not ot late been more than the usual amount
of corruption in the various departments of gov
ernment. What has happened in the last few
weeks, had happened twenty times before, but
at the bull fight and the opera, at the Alameda
and at the gates ot her palace, the queen had
enjoyed immunity from censure lor censure
was insult. So great had been her offence, alio,
deeply had she wounded the punto d’onor of the
Spanish race—that they had no alternative but
to remain silent, or to blow away the loyal tra
ditions or eight centuries with a breath.
44 ibe Queen entered the royal box w-ith her
consort—vvi h the consort of Louis Phillippe’s
finding. She stood prepared for the usual loyal
demonstrations. Ihe splendor of the scene was
mechanically suspended that the Royal March,
according to custom, might give time and har
mony to the glad acclamation of her subjects.—
But trom all sides of the hall—ot a hall crowded
with the most illustrious personages of Spain—a
cry ot aversion resounded. There should be no
march played, lhere should be no glad cry of
welcome. Where the Queen of Span looked
for cheers, her ear was greeted with hisses and
expressions of disgust: "Busta, Basta de eso /”
V? e have had enough of this! ' *'Que continue
la opera /” “Let the opera proceed!” Was it
insensibility—was it scorn ? The Queen did
not change countenance. Not so the husband
of the Queen by registry and in name. Not so
anotner person in that house, who at the pres
ent moment occupies a post rt Madrid for which
no name is given in the hierarchy of Spanish
dignities, although a Spanish muleteer would be
at little loss to supply the requisite denomina
tion. There stood the successor of Charles V.,
glancing down upon the people, who were curs
ing her in their hearts, and hissing at her with
their lips, with no one to rely upon save the per
son who tor the moment had succeeded to her
favor. All this passed at Madrid on the evening
ol A uesday, the 18th of the present month.
‘"No single act ot imprudence could have pro
duced such a result. The loyalty of the Span
iard was so deeply seated that it could not be
obliterated by a passing iolly or a passing ciiine.
It was necessary to drag the Spanish crown very
long through very miry spots indeed, before the
nation would have risen against. it 3 wearer, as
though treason bad been committed against the
repose of a private family. This is not the first
time that the nation had witnessed the specta
cle ot notorious prolligacy in the highest station.
But, bad as have been the previous instances of
such disregard of all obligations, no Spanish
Quern has yet loved to exhibit the living proof
ot her successive acts of shame before the eyes
of a nation. Now, there is no poetry possible
for the Heloise of many Abelards. What won
der, then, that the loyalty of the Spaniard, be
ing such a passion as we have described it to be,
should have been converted into its opposite by
so shameful an exhibition ! As the feeling was
a personal one, so it is much to be feared the re
tribution may one day be. The conduct of the
sovereign is telt as a personal disgrace by every
Spaniard in the solitude of his own dwelling.—
Such is not quite the end of the “Spanish mar
riages”—of that politic scheme for the sake of
which a great minister sacrificed bis character
for probity, and an able monarch one of the first
crowns in Christendom.”

The following is from the principal
accountant of the wealthy and highly
respectable house of Messrs Voris it Bro., of thia
city, and presents one of the most wonderful cures
in the annals of medical history:
Mr. R.C. Farrell—Dear Sir; Actuated by a sense
of gratefulness, I. submit the following as an in
stance of the utility of your great medicine. My
chili, three years old, was suddenly attacked with
a terrible disease, which, iu less than six hours,
prostrated it to total helplessness. The limbs be
come so rigid that not a joint could be bent; the
flesh turned black and cold, and entirely deprived
of feeling; the eyes fixed, partially closed, and al
together blind; following this was deafness to a*
sounds; the spine became contracted, and so con
ed that when lying on its back, the head and
only touched. Indeed, the child presented every
appearance of being dead. Immediately on t
attack, the family physician was called in, , aß<l 0
three weeks ho labored to restore it to feeling,
all in vain, although it was blistered a dozen time
and various rubefacient Liniment? applied. Aco
sultation of physicians was then held, but to n
purpose; the case was then brought before -•
Medical Society, but nothing could be sugge? <■
which had not already been done, and the uocj
then told mo he could do nothing more. " e
commenced applying your Liniment freely over
entire length of the spine, and you may ’® a ß' n
parent's joy, when, after a few applications,
turning animation was apparont, and itnfw.7
covered with the exception of sight, which d 1
become perfect for near a month. The ennd is
healthy and robust as can be. Five other
the same kind occurred previously in my “* l B -i
--hood, all of which died, when there is no do
your Liniment had been used, they would n
covered. Henry G.Clela.ml
