C, „A.- The London Timer, of the Vlb ult., has an
article on the Cuban question, which goes on to argue
tlmt the important plea put forth by the Cuban junta in
tlio United State*, ‘h it the (. uhan peuple desire annex*
jitioii, is an assumption to which it cannot givectedct.ee.
u!l d then says:
-We regard, therefore, the cry of Cuban indepea
,i, ive, which is raised in the United S.a’es ba few
lie subjects ot the Queen of Spain, as a pretence
to (. ‘■ <r, in some degree, the prevailing passion of the
American- tlieinst Ives. It is not itt out eyes a question
,V first inqmrtance to foreign powers to’ whom Cuba
in:r. belong; and if the Court of Spain though* it
proper to -oil its interest in the island, as it soid some
..(11 ions of the Continent, we could advance no tenable
oi.jeetiou again -t such a measure, ltur the means ta
k. i to promote this object are of far greater moment
than the object itself, and a is for this reason that we
have tbund ourselves compelled to deal wi h it in terms
which have not increased our popularity beyond the
Atlantic. There is, however, no hostility’ to tlie United
jt’ates, and :h> jealousy of their power’ hut rather an
houeat concern tor the-r cbutae.er and welfare, in the
remonstrances we have sometimes presumed to address
to them.”
I.nv. ari> E\ i.ttETT. i here seentsto be a ilbpuitition,
i t different par's of our country, to do justice to the
high character, talents and patriotism of this distin
guished son of Massachusetts, who now tills with re
ntal kable ability the responsible ollice of Secretary of
State. The Delaware Jnnuil, after speaking of the
public service* of Mr. Everett, and enumerating the
many high situations which he has held, says :
“ Bid Mr. Everett's crowning merit consists in his
inflexible devotion to the Constitution; and to main
taining inviolate the integrity of the Union. Unfoi
lunateiy for the country, his term of service in the De
partment of State must be brief But we trust that
tlie public will protit by his council in another branch
ot the national service. It has been announced that
Governor Davis, that talented and dignified patriot, dc
ciiues te-election to the Senate of the United States.—
So many bl ight stars hare gone down and are going
•town in the Senate, that some new luminaries in that
body would not be unacceptable to the country. We
presume that Massachusetts has not, amongst her dis
tingu.shed sons, any one who would more zealously up
hold her rights, support her interests, and vindicate
her fame; or who would he more accep'able to she
Senate, or to the nation, than the present gifted but un
assuming Seer tarv of Slat*.”
Mr. Everett i-s installed in the State Department, and
will leave the loug accumulated husiiie?*. in a finished
condition tor his successor. Mr. F’nt’hiiigham ‘Lis ne
phew )is his private secretary. Mr. Everett occupies
the house opposite the Wat liejiars meat, and has iaken
into his service the ;ai;h/ul colored domes'ics who w ere
such devoted servants to Mr. Webster. One of them,
Monica, was Mr. Webster’s cook, and lmuschold coun
sellor for many years, and he used frequently to speak
ot her in the kindest terms, lie paid her wages quar
terly, and as his liberal presents marly supplied all her
wants, she used to give hint hack iu arly all her w ages,
to be deposited in the Savings’ Bank. This he did
with great care, no matter what important cares of
State oocuf >ied hi* mind at the time; and at his death
theohi lady found herselt in possession of quite a snug
competency. Wißiam, the great statesman's body
sservant, ( w hom he emancipated, < and who possessed
Itis entire confidence, will probably be in the service of
Genera! Pierce at the White House. The late resi
deneeof Mr. Webster, on Louisiana avenue, has been
rented bv Mr. Dales, of the National lotelliireiscer.—

DtttVt <f <i G<d l Mum,. —V e regret to uimoimce the
death of Amos I-awrenee. Esq., which occurred about
twelve o’clock on Thursday night. Mr. Eawreucc was
born in (5 rot on. Mass., in f776, and has been engaged
in business in Boston since !- **J, and of late years was
the senior jaartper of the firm of A. A.A Lawrence A
■Co., which was probaldy the largest mercantile bouse
in ibis city. Mr. A. was possessed of ample wealth,
which lie used in dispensing blessing* to ail who need
ed lus bounties. Besides many huge sums given awav
publicly, probably no man in Bostou ei or gave near so
much m acts <rf private benevolence. Poverty or want
never appealed to him without being relict od. He was
one of the whig electors ot President at the late elec,
tion.
Excesses of Forejux Ministers.— Some time last
year, inquiries were addressed by the Secretary to our
representatives abroad, as to the adequacy of their
salaries. An answer was returned almost uniformly,
that they were in sufficient. Mr. Lawrence; at lamdou,
aaya his necessary expenses are $20,000 per annum;
Mr. Rives, at Bar is, about sl7,<'* - <>; Neil ss. Brown, at
St. Petersburg, $12,00e; Mr Ft isom. at the Hague,
$12,50*), Ac.—considerably exceeding the salaries at
grcsent given.
The Eim. s<ox Eypsriuext.—Hie Ericsson left her
dock at Williamsburg, yesVrdav morning, about 9%
o’clock, on her trial trip. She ran down the East River
in beautiful style, and proceeding up the North Rivera
short distance, returned, and went down the bay, at the
rate of shout 1- utiles au hour, with wind and tide in
her favor. Herspeed, however, was somewhat impeded
by the number ot vessels in the stream. The anxiety
aud universal interest with which the successor failure
of this experiment is watched, was seen in the crowds
which gathered around the docks. Fulton’s experiment
did not excite deeper interest. Last night, the Ericsson,
with several other vessels, lay at anchor off the S. W.
Spit, in consequence oi’ a violent gale. Thus far, her
success has been decided.— X. V. Mirror, Wi oat.
Z-t) ’ Monsieur Petix, the celebrated aeronaut from
Paris, made an aseeiwiou from Xcw Orleans on Christ
mas day, accompanied by three amateurs, of v.kich the
Picayune of Ills 2Gih ultimo gives the annexed account:
About two thousand persons assembled yesterday to
witness the excursion oi M. Petin, with three of his
friends, in a balloon. Every thing passed olf to the sat
isfaction at'.d delight of the crowd. The balloon was of
immense size, but the car was the great curiosity. It
was built in the slutpe of a large skiff, with extensive
wines attached to the side, enabling M. Petin to guide
tit* direction of his aerial craft from within. The err is
built mostly of cork, lined around with cavities con
taining gas. The ascension took place s*x>n after two
o’clock, amid the cheers of the crowd, the s ars and
stripesflviug from the light vessel. M. Petin for some
lime could be distinctly seen walking about in his frail
structure, directing its movements. The excitement of
ihe spectators was much heigh toned by witnessing the
balloon passthrough a beautiful white cloud, which for
a time obscured the floating machine from sight. Af
ter rising to a great height, the balloon took different
directions, according to the will of its pilot, but finally
went oil’ in a sou heusterly direction.
The Courier of the 27th chronicles the return of 51.
Petin to New Orleans as follows:
The balloon ascended about feet, and was car
ried by u strong wind to the eastward. By an accident
ill matiagiug tfie valve hr the escape of the gas, too
much gas escaped, anti flic balloon rapidly sunk and
fcil into the water of Lake Borgne, about one mile from
the land, at Is minutes past 4 o'clock P. M. The boat
or car being loaded, upset when it struck the water,
which was about fifteen feet deep. M. Petin and his
three passengers clung to the bottom of their frail car,
when, aft et bring in the water about half an hour, they
were discovered by the Captain of the steamboat Ala
bama, from Montgomery i Ala. tto this city. The party
were taken on Lstard and broughr to this city. “1 he bai

Rail-Roads ix the Union.—The following state
ments we gather from the January number of the
Auttrn-an Bril \V,uj Guile:
On the first of January, 1853, there were in the U.
States, 13,227 miles of completed Railroad, 12,028 miles
ol Railroad in various stages of progress, and about
i/hhj m.les iu the hands of the engineers, which will be
built within the next three or lour years—making a
total ot 33,155 miles of Railroad, which will soon tra
verse the country, aud which, at an average cost of
$30,0* w> (a well ascertained average) for each mile of
road, including equipments, etc., will have consumed a
capital amounting to sot'4,Bso,i*W, as follows:
13,227 miles completed, $306,810,000
1 2,02s miles in progress, 387,840,000
7,**ot) miles under survey, 21 *),* >OO,OOO
33,1A5 Total $004,0 50,000
Or in round numbers—sl ,o)o,ooo,ooo —one billion of
dollars; a sunt which, at 6 per cent., would yield $60,-
‘"“,o*io annually, or more than sufficient to coverall
the expenses of the L r nited States Government and of the
Governments of every State composing the U. States!
—if administered with republican economy.
A Railroad to the Pacific.—The gigantic prefect
of a Railroad aero-s our Territory to the Pacific has
boon introduced into the United States Senate by Mr.
Gwinu. According to this plan, the road is to luive at
its Eastern end, on the Mississippi River, two lines,
connecting it with the Atlantic through the North and
South respectively, and two at its Western end, con
ncctig it w : htlie Pacific through Oregon and Cali
fornia. The contractors for its cons; ruction receive in
payment alternate sections of public lands forty miles
wide through the States, aud eighty miles wide through
the intervening Teiritories. At the end of thirty years
it is to be surrendered to the United State?. The mail,
troops and other transportations of the Government
shall always lie five upon it.
In a memorial to Congress on the necessity, impor
tance and jinictkai dity of a Railroad from the Missis
sippi to the Pac-ihc Ocean, the question of its profit is
considered. Fifty thousand persons go annually to
California, and it costs each $ to get there, making
sum of sls, 'hi .non. Supposing that the Railroad can
Carry them for s2o.', thi- travel w ill yield $1 (>,*)*>',ooo.
The road will be 2,**00 miles long, and it is estimated
will cost $50,0*10 per mile, or a:i aggregate of SIOO,-
000,000, so that 50, *OO pissengers would yield an in
terest of 1” per cent, on travel alone, it is farther as
sumed ihat st least ss,**oo,ot*o will annually be derived
from freight, and that it will coat to keep the road in
repair ss,> <*o,ooo, which would still leave 10 per cent,
for tlie Government, or the stock holders, or thccontrac
tors whoever should build it. There are many schemes
fir this enterprise, and many estimates, but they must
all bo, in a project so vast, and over a country so little
known, nothing better to be relied upon than mere
guesses.
Florida Railroad Charters. —The Legislature of
Florida has passed a bill to incorporate “the Pensacola
and Georgia Railroad Company,” of which (lie corres
pondeait of the G< r/jiun, wilting front Tallahassee,
says:
“Savannah will have no difficult: - in reaching Pen
sacola by both thi* Savannah and Pensacola, and by
the South-western Railroad. The latter, it can hardly
be doubted, will work its way on down through Sum
ter, Lee, Baker, Early and Decatur counties, to the
Florida line, at u point in the vicinity of the junction
of the Chattahoochee and Flint rivers. The former,
throw ing off a branch to Albany, will construct anoth
er through Southern Get rgia by nearly a direct line to
the jxiint already designated as he Georgia terminus
of the Southwestern Road, to wit: the vicinity of the
juuc iou of the Cliafalmochce and Flint.”
The Legislature has also granted a charter to the
Central Railroad Company of Florida, w hich road is
to “commencein Easi Florida, upon some tributary of
the Atlantic Ocean within the limits of the State of
Florida, having a sufficient ou. let to the ocean to admit
of the passi ige of sea steamers, and shall run through
theStatc in the most dig ble direction toj-ome |Kint, bay,

Apalachicola tiler, in West Florida.”
Immigration'.—The total number of arrivals at the
port i t New York Lorn foreign countries during the

tained to have been American citizens, returning home

OBITUARY.
Ccthbeut, December 28, 1852.
At a meeting of the Bar of this place, held in the
court-house to-day to testify in a proper manner, their
grief at the melancholy event of tlie death of the Hon.
William Taylor. Col. David Kiddoo was called to
the chair, and M. Dofglass appointed Secretary.—
When the object of the meeting was made known, Col.
5\ . C. Perkins arose and offered the following preamble
trad resolutions, viz:
55 i b feelings of melancholy regret are the members
of the Bar residing in Cuthb'ert, called upon to record
the death of their brother, friend and associate, the
Hon. \\ ili.iam Taylor, presiding Judge of the South
55'estem Circuit.
55’hile engaged in the discharge of his official duties
at the recent adjourned term of linker Superior Court,
he was attacked with the Cholera Morbus, of which dis
ease he died on the evening of the 2Mb inst., in the
forty- econd year of his age. Thus, lies an All wise
Providence in llis mysterious dispensation, seen pro
per to remove Judge Taylor from the world’s theatre,
m the meridian ot life aud in the midst of a career of
usefulness. By this death, his family is deprived of
its chief corner-stone —this community of an enlighten
ed and enterprising citizen—the legal i'raternitv of an
esteemed associate and brother, and the State of a tal
ented and faithtul public officer.
ll.mlrol, therefore, That in tlie death of the Hon.
55’illiam Taylor, this community has lost one of its
most worthy citizens; his family an affectionate hus
band and father, the legal profession an able and effici
ent member, and the Judiciary of the State one of its
brightest ornaments.
2d. That we sincerely condole w ith the afflicted fami
ly ot the deceased, and tender them our aid and sym
pathy.
3rd. That in token of our deep sorrow for this sad
bereavement, we will wear the usual badge of mourn
ing for thirty days.
4th. That a copy of these resolutions be handed to
the family of the deceased, and Ihat, with the proceed
ings of tliis meeting, they be published in the Colum
bus, .Macon and Milledgerille papers. These resolu
tions were unanimously adopted, and on motion the
meeting adjourned.
