Perhaps too great stress has hern laid upon the subject. Os course, Great Britain can dream of no such recourse in relation to this country, though invoked to it by the late Sidney Smith in terms more forcible than ; complimentary to Pennsylvania. The States of the Union are struggling onward from their embarrassment to a full performance ot their financial obligations; and a few yvuis will see our escutcheon wholly tree from re proach. But the position of lord Palmerston, his station con sidered, is an extraordinary one. “ StiH, putting out of the question the expediency of undertaking any such engagement, he dm think that the English government as u matter of right would Is* justified in demanding of any foreign government to make good its engagements, and tailing that, would Is: • Milled to use the means that had been suggested by his noble friend to obtain redress.” If the non-fulfilment of contracts with its creditors Is* so heinous a fault in a government, the financial history of Great Britain proves her to be the last that should Huim* the duly of'rebuking it.

It is the policy of the ag** to endeavor to contract the causes of national quarrel ; but Lord Palmerston seems to desire their extrusion.

[JYorfA Amer.can Mr. TGs? nnd Gen* Scott. The country has heanl much of the existence* of a dif ference between these two gentlemen, but have very little knowledge (fits nature. We have looked in vain for an explanation of it to the various quarters whence we might expect to be enlightened. Liters were re ceived here by the Fashion, we are told, which mention that upon the arrival of Mr. Tristnt the headquarters of the army be manifested very little respect for the commanding general. It is said thnt he neglected en tirely to call upon G n Scott to pay his respects. Gen. Scott did not of course call upon him,and no direct per sonal in tore nirse would have taken place between them hut liu the fact thnt Mr Trist became severely ill. Gen. Scott then overlooked the marked slight towards hint self, waited on Mr Trist nnd was assiduous in tender ing such personal offices ns the somewhat alarming sit uation of the minister demanded. This diffenence about a mere matter of etiquette, though trifling and sufficiently contemptible in itself, wns of bail augury for ihe harmonious co-operation of the General and the commissioner in bringing about a peace, It was quite natural that Scott should look with n sus picious mid jealous eye upon nn agent of the Govern ment who, thourh previously hut a clerk in the State Department, wns the hearer of plenary powers to con clude n peace with Mexico. The power to conclude n pence would seem to include the lesser power of making an armistice or truce, nnd to the extent of this power the niovemcments of Gen. Scott might lie controlled. It was rather a haughty step, it would seem, for the Government emissary to commence bis operations by an assumption or affectation of superiority, and to ex pect the old general to play the courtier to him—lor it was not expected, we presume, by the Government that they should net quite independently of each other In the letters we have published from Mr Kendall there seems to be studious rare not to touch on the difficulties between the General and Mr. Trist. We arc willing to follow the example ns until such time ns the whole affair tnnv he laid before the e untry, but in the 1 mean time have telt at liberty to mention the want of 1 courtesy evinced by Mr Trist in the outset We have heard it allude I to before, but it is only since the Fash ion has nrrivod that we have learned definitely the na ture of the slight.— N. O. Fir Editorial Convention. The following account of the proceedings of the pre liminary meeting ot klditors at the Stone Mountain, we extract from the Augusta Constitutionalist, the Editor of which paper was requested to embody them in an editorial: Tiie suggestion that a Convention of the Editors in Georgia interested in the Magnetic Telegraph, should take place ai the Stone Mountain on the 11th inst., had the effect of bringing together several of the editors of the Savannah, Macon and Augusta papers. Mr Ches ter, Agrnit of the Washington City and New Orleans Telegraph line, was also present. This was intended to be a meeting merely for consultation, and prelimina ry to a more general meeting at some future day, of editors and proprietors of papers along the entire lines of Telegraphic communication from Boston to New Or leans. The Convention therefore confined itself to the dis cuss on ! *V? follow,rig q m-tions Ist. Was such a general Convention desirable and feasible l 2nd. Wiint were the objects to be attained by it ? 3,d. In w hat ai inner could they be attained ? • 4th. When and where should this Convention assem ble ? Views were freely interchanged on all these points, and there was no diversity of opinion on the general questions Details were lett for future consideration.— But the advantages to result from a general Convention were too manifest to provoke much discussion. It was at once agreed that our cotemporaries of th** press be in vited to conm together to moke a combined and harmo nious arrangement, by which would be secured to each press engaged in the arrangement, at the stint? time, the same information, commercial and political, along tiie whole line orl nesof Telegraph. This can be ac complished at an expense to each, under an arrange ment made in unison, so moderate as to place it within the reach of papers in the smallest cities. It will thus be a desideratum to them. It will also, by the same means, immensely reduce the heavy expenditure to which the presses in our large cities are subjected by their present plan of obtaining seperately their telegraphic news To accomplish this, a number of presses must combine. This will lessen the amount to each while the aggregate will afford a compensation sufficient to remunerate the telegraphic companies, ami make the arrangement an inducement to them. The arrangement contemplates the furnishing tothe associated presses, only those general items of news from the chief commercial marts, in reference to mark ets, sales, prices. Ac*., ns are of interest to all—and an epitome, from day to day, during the sessions of Con gres, of the important occurrences at the great political centre—Washington City—together with summaries of foreign news made up on the arrivals of the steamers from Europe, at New York and Boston. Futhcr items nnd details may be still ojien to the competition of the most enterprising, and whose readers mny require them —as may be the case in the large cities. Such, the con templated arrangement is not intended to restrict, But to such, to the extent it goes, the arrangement will be a great saving, and a manifirst hern-fit. The ‘2nd point—to wit. the objects to be attained by the convention, we consider, is to some extent elucidat ed by the remarks we have already made. ‘Flies** afford the outlines of the plan, w hich with the suggestions ob viously springing therefrom, are quite sufficient for pres ent purposes. As to the 3rd point—the manner in which to attain these objects, we cannot better present it than by cal ling attention to the comtnun : cntion signed C.—which recently appeared in the Macon Journal Messenger. This has reference to n contract to lx* made with one Company—the Washington nnd New O.leans Tele graph Company Bit all the telegraph companies can doubtless be induced to make a common arrangement, so that it may apply to the whole extent of the tele graphic lines The exact terms and conditions of the arrangement can be made known by these com jinnies to the ed. tonal convention, ora committee of conference appointed by it, and the propositions ran he then and there agreed to and definitely acted upon.—We suggest that the Telegraph Companies undertake the contract of furnishing to each Press coming into the the arrange j meat the amount of telegraphic matter agreed upon— employing tor th purpose agents and reporters it-spon ’ sible to ih** Companies employing them. There wi|l ’ Is* a direct privity of contract between each Press in* : dividually, and th** Telegraph Company or Companies ■ Each party to it will thus be directly and legally repon sible to the other tor the tint hint peitormance ot its con j tract The reputation of the Company is involved in the tiutliful. promjit aad regular transmission of accurate reports, and w ill be mtermed to employ efficient and | reliable reporters.

The Philadelphia Ledger has received from its nttrn -1 tive Cincinnati oorresjiondent,via Telegraph, at Zanes ’ vill<\ the following interesting news : ‘ j Messrs Show and Bolden arrived at St. Louis on ’ j Thursday of last week, direct from Oregon, having l *ft I the frontier settlement* on the sth of May. and made ■ the trip to St. Joseph’s in eiguty-three days. 1 I The pnrty met hut little difficulty on the route. The | vnriou parties of emigrants to Oregon and California ! w re making rapid progress Davidson and his com ■ j pony were met nt the Big Sandy, and two other com • panics at Green River. The Mormons, with their immense train of wagons. i were met near the Forks of Platte Hiver, on their route * ! to California, nnd their rulers, the” Twelve Apostles,” ns * i they are called, were met nt Fort Bridges. It was un • derstood thnt the Mormons would not proceed thi* season further than Salt Lake. At Fort Hall, Messrs Slinw* nnd Thompson met Samuel Brannon, nnd from him they obtained news from California down to the ‘2s;h *>f Mny. 1 Lieut. Col. Fremont had been arrested for disobedi ’ ( ’ nce of orders by Gen. Kearney, nnd had been ordered home to the United States to take trial before a ( ourt Martial. This difficulty grew out of the ill feel ing and contradictory movements of General Kearney and Com. Stockton, oad th* question of authority which existed between them. It was announced some days 1 ago, by Col. Russel, who came with desjmehes, 1 that G.*n. Kearney was about to arrest Col Fremont, and have him hung as n rebel Nobody, of course, be lieved the latter jart of the statement ; but the arrest of 3 Fremont proves that the quarrel between Gen Renmey r and Com. Stockton was more serious than was at first ‘ apprehended. ‘ Coin Stockton had left, and was on his way home. I The American fleet was off Lower California engng ■ ed against Mazatlan, Acapoloo nnd other towns in that quarter. The tioops had all been ordered to concentrate in the same direction. There ino detail given of con templated movements, but it h doubtless to enforce the ! blockade proclaimed by Com. Biddle. Gen. Kearney was about to leave California nnd ex pected to reach the States in the month of September. The affairs of California generally appear to be in a very unsettled condition. 1 Messrs Shaw and Thompson learned from Brannon additional details of the sufferings experienced hv the ‘ parties of emigrants which failed to reach California 1 before the last winter came upon them. They add to \ the horrors of the previous accounts; seventy-five per * tshed from cold by exposure to the snow and from star vation ! The survivors were reduced to the dreadful ! alternative of subsisting upon the dead bodies oi their ! companions! The whole Reed family, in connection with that of f Donnor, reached the guttler's settlement in safety, after t enduring incredible sufferings.

Russell’s company. lie had a wile with him, and contrived, at the extremity of their sufferings, to send her to the California settlements, when relieved by persons who went out to aid them. This villian re mained behind to rob the dead and living of their prop i erty. A family of the name of Donnor, of Springfield. 111. Was robbed by him of about s4,tkX), winch he cached along w.i:i oth *r spoils. ll* was suspected, threatened, and riiaiiy preparations were made to hang him up, and then he disclosed the places where the mon -y was to lie found. To add to the enormity of his offences, he is said to have boasted of having lived, for a time, upon the dead body oi Mis.

He wall Is* recollected by every one who has visited that city His adherence to the dress and fashions of the good ” olden times” always attracted the not.ee and interest of the stranger With truth, we think it mny be said, that he was the “ last of the cocked hats” in Georgia, and perhaps in the Union. 14 A Revolutionary Soldier Gone !—The lapse of years has left, among th** living, but few of the venera. ble men whose fortune it wan to witness the stirring scenes of our Revolutionary War, and to take a part in giving birth to our young Republic. Wherever they have survived, however, they have always been objects of public notice,esteem and affection. For many years past, in our owncununnmty, lingering among us like a aered leal Irom a departed summer, distinguished by his “Knee-Breeches” and his “Cocked Hat,’ in the penon ol SIIEFTALL BHEFTALL, K*q.,was recognised one of the Soldiers ot the Revolution. B*>m in Savan nah eighty-five y**rs ago his fate has ever been identifi ed wih hers. litre he lived before the Revolutionary War ; here he ptrtook of all the intense excitement which attended ts approach : nnd here he joined the Continental Array, and linked his individual destiny with that of hissfffering,strangling country He shar ed the dangers aiwi withstood th*- horrors attendant up on the bloody siefe of Savumiah, and fought side by side with men, w%oae names are now histone. It was in the surrender of this city that he was taken prisoner, by the British, and was confined for six months upon the prison-ship at tins port and at Charleston,during which time he suffered nurh from hardship and mal treatment From Charleston he was taken to the West Indira where h* was permitted to n turn to Philadelphia *>f his parole of honor. He was subsequently s**nt to Charleston, with a ffig ot truce, to ial;e*iiumey ior the relief of the American prison’ rs there, li • held the appointment of Assistant Coinuitssary m the Army After the close of the Revolutioa.uy War, he contin ued to live in this city ; which, m fact, h<* never ielt ex cept diWiiig ihe period of his iiiiprisoiiiiieiit, and while it remained in til** hands ol Uk English. He was ad mitted to the Bar, in Camden C'Minty, shortly after the War, and was tiie oldest lawyer in the State For a number of years he held the responsible office of Justice of tii** Peace, under appointment from the Governor; an offi*-** in which so muth cun be done for the good or for the injury of society. Out of near twenty thousand caws whic h he tried, tfwre was not one ill which his de cision was reversed. His unceasing effort was to pre vent unnecessary litigation, and to do just.ee between fully, and fear lowly For seven years past his health has been growing ex ceedingly l ehle. For the lost one or two his venerable form has been missed from its accustom--d place in Him j a v.d.und tiie time has at Inst com** tor him to tfopart. Ho long identified with Snvnnnah, having been acquain ted with all whose names are wsinected w ith her histo ry. possessed, even m advanced sg* and Mckness, of a most extraordinary memory he will be greatly missed by our citiwn*. He will go to his tomb respected by all. May he rest m peace ! Lo*ik at This!
