times that an “irreconcilable conflict” exist be

No; it is no “dream” at all, but a sort of notion
that fire-eating editors g*t into periodically when
they see their party getting rather under the
weather. That “irreconcilable conflict” will all
disappear when a good Democrat shall have been
eleoted~'to succeed Mr.-Buchanan.

neither time nor room in our columns. While the

one sonree from which sbe has much to fear. It
Is the disposition among ourselves, for personal
or party ends, to raise Issaes upon which oar peo-
p’.enre known to be conscientiously*and hopelessly
divided.
There is a class of politicians in onr midst who
are ever ready with some.question, connected with
our peculiar institution,to be sprang upon the peo
ple ia time of their own political emergency. Tbe
object is to create strife and contention among
ourselves on a subject on which we should all be
united and>:work harmoniously together. They *
claim'all the )oto and attachment for. *tbe South

pear that men, every whit as good and true as
themselves, are notTo be trusted.
We baye no language to express our unmitiga-
ted eontempt for all sucl^disingenuous and mise
rable artifices. * Tbe men who use them know they
are perpetrating a wrong upon their opponentsr
and a fraud upon the public. We trust we shall
see no more of these disreputable proceedings—
that meu of all parties will act honestly, and
eschew the agitation of subjects connected with
the institution bf slavery, where there is a known
diversity of opinion amongst us.' It can do no
good, and is obliged to resnlt in bitterness and
strife unworthy of of, on a people, and exposing
us to the pity and scorn of .the world.
If, however, this policy is to be continued in
spite of tbe considerations wo bnve offered for
peace and harmony, we are ready for the oonfesf,
and shall stand by the right, let him who may

Convention of Stockholders of the Atlantic £
Gnlf Railroad.
[Reported Tor the Savannah Republican .J
ftllLLEDGEVILLE, Feb, 15, 2S59.
The stockholders of tbe Atlantic A Gulf Rail
road, or “Main Trunk,” ns it-is familiarly called^
lot yesterday at this place, in obedience to tbe
charter, which requires the annual election of Di
rectors, to be^held here. ^
Govornor.Brown received tho stockholders* with
much courtesy,and placed at tbeir disposition-one «*f
tbe Executive chambers in tbe capitol. This grace
ful civility was accepted by the stockholders, and
their meeting was accordingly held in the capitol.
As the State Is a stockholder in this great enter
prise, in the proportion of five to six, Governor
Brown thus evinces becoming interest in its suc
cess.* .
Judge Lawson of Burke, one of the Gommis- •
sloner* to vote the stock of the State, was present.
Gov. Brown yielded to *tbe request of stock
holders to be one of tb.e three judges of election
for tho.Board of Directors. /
The number of votes fof Directors given, either
by stockholders present, or by proxy, was 10,900.
The result Was ns follows:
J. P. Scre ven ^.VV- D. Hodzaon.icouerts,
John Stoddard, and W. H. Wiltberger—of Savun-
nah. .
C. J. Munnerlyn—of Deentur.
A. Mclntire and E. R. Young—of Thomas.
J. R. Stapler—of Lowndes.
The Board of Directors being thus elected, they
subsequently held a meeting, when Dr. James P.
Soreven was unanimously re-elected President.—
Mr. D. Macdonald was re-elected Secretary and
Treasurer. Gre-it sympathy was expressed by nil
present with the worthy President, wbo.was*de
tained by severe - illness, from attending this an
nual eleetion. His early restoration to health, is
tbe sincere aspiration of all.
The report of the condition of the Company,
and the progress made in work upon tbe road,
was highly satisfactory. Tbe iron will be laid to
Blackshear, the county seat of. Pearce county, in
few weeks. This is in the neighborhood of
Warosboro. Contracts have been lot for tho whole
line to. the Alapaho, 68 miles from the initial point;
of which fifty miles, it is hoped, will be inrunniog
order for the next crop. Six thousnnd tons of iron
rails have been purchased; part of-it has already
arrived and the remainder will be deliverable at
intervals during tbe present year.
As evidence of tbe efficiency and earnestness of
tbe Board, they resolved to put the whole line to
Bainbridge under contract as early as practicable.

Watnesville, February 14, 1850.
Editor Republican: Tbe irregularity of tbe
southern boats to and from tho St. John’s, caused
by the difficulty and danger attending the passage
of the bar at the entrance to that river, except at
high water in calm weather, suggests to the trav
eling community the necessity of “getting up,”
some other means of communication between Fer-
nandina and your ci'y. Tbe -suggestion is, by
steamer (daily) between Fernandina and Bruns
wick—by railroad, 23 miles to Waynesville, and
from the latter place by stage, 25 miles, to the
initial point on the S. A. A G. Railroad. Sach an
arrangement, it soems to me, would secure to the
above road, all, or nearly all, the travel to and
from the points named, and your city. I under

Mr. Hilyer, proposes to plaeo the steamer on the

(which, I am pleased to inform you, is progressing

will permit,) is now engaged in surveying a lino

sideat of tbe Brunswick A Macon ’ Road, has
succeeded in raising' a sufficient amount of sub

zeal and indomitable perseverance manifested* by
Iho Jndge in-this enterprise, in the face of an op

Tlic ablest member of’the Administration party in the
Senate of the United States is unquestionably Robert
Toombs, of Georgia. His mental resinrees seem to be un
ceasing. Bold, quick, and irresistible as a rensoner, he
debates every qnintivn with singubii; ftnd often with con
tagious, force. His argument in support of the “Slldett-
thirty-miUion bHl” wsts, by far, thebest which that ques
tion lias yet elicited; provingvfor tho thousandth time,
how easy.it is for a great mind to wake a wrong appear
right, and to clotlift with fascinating. robes the mast ob
jectionable propositions. And yet, (Mr. Toombs replied
to Senator Bigler on Wednesday laqb, and illustrated an
other truism—namely, that vast intellect is not always
equal to theitask of smoothing away an inconsistency, of
of beating down an indestructible fact. Mr.Toombs was.
an old Whig, a Henry Clay Whig,/a protective Whig, a
hlgbrtarifT Whig. If Stephens, hisbo-mate and colleague,
his friend and almost his brotiier,.was theSnlndin in the
fierce contests which both led ipainst the Democratic
party only a few years ago, Toontw was confessedly the
Richard—whoso blows fell thick nhd Cist opm the organ
Ization of which they are now, dmost by common con
sent, tho oracles and the leaders. / Tlie old ideas of Mr
Toombs trouble him hugely. Splken boldly and spokeu
fearlessly, and printed in imramjrable newspapers, (in
eluding even the great GMe itaeft.) and written in lei
ters full of sparkling antithestinnil glowing invective
he isAeo proud to recall them; and tliereforc he attempt
and herein commits tbe fatal cnj»r of tiying to reconcii
these ancient reminiscences will the new idcis to whicl
he now stands publicly committed. Thus, after urguin
against the propositions -to dijcriminati: in lavor of A
raerican industry in raising, tnc necessary revenue fo
the support of the Federal Gowmment, he lmsserts hf
doctrines in favor of specifier dixies, but declares that th
only way to arraugc aud adjustl the tariff question is t
cut down expenditures, and tobonfinothese expenditun
to the amount of mouey roceirtd by the pubhV; Treasurj
Justifying all tho extravagant, as tl»e Genent
Post Office Department is concerned, and. ignoring 'tli
somewhat odorous memory of]the. Galphiii8 during th
Administration of Gen. Taylffr, ho pohnees upon tli
proposition to assist the great 'staple interests of Penn
sylvania, and ftrgues upon that—Kind with as much fee*
lug as if such a propositiou ware neither more nor le^
than a serious plan to plunder the public Treasury! Tw
things are clearly apparent froju this effort of the hon
omble Senator: the one, that his reassertion of the jn-
tico of specific duties is in direct contravention to th
Cobb theory, that, specific , duties do not protect tho r<
venae; and tlie other, that his Scheme of cutting duw
expenditures is an impossible scheme—impossible of^i
fillment in the present order of things, and impossible v
being permanently maintained. And this latter alterm.
tive is somewhat practically answered and refuted by hi
own argument, a fejv days ago, in support ot the Admh
istmtion appeal for thirty millions to buy Cuba. Is i
not straugo that with one breath Mr. Tdombs should as

»r.g is a telegraph synopsis of his remarks :
Mr. Benjamin commenced by stating' the value
of Cuba. All the British, French and Dutch West
Indies, togothBr with the possessions of those pow
ers in Guiana were not equal, intrinsically, to that
solitary island. He then proceeded to demonstrate
the failure of tbo disastroos experiment of eman
cipation, saying that the emancipated negroes have
not yet bec«»mo the admirable peasantry and yeo
manry tbe English Abolitionists prophesied. Com
pulsory lnbor wns necessary in the tropics. While
Cuba is kopt in the grasp of Spain she cannot keep
up her supply of negro labor by a surreptitious
slave-trade, and the coolie system was infinitely
worse. He then related the horrors of the ooolie
trade, showing that these miserable Asiatics died
atthe ratio often per cent per annum, and were
mere raw material to be worked up into sugar. In
view of the necessity of a supply of labor, Cuba
must soon follow Sr. Domingo, or become Ameri
can. Ho would not discuss the effects of the
acquisition of Cuba on our trade, manufacturing
or agricultural interests. Geographically con
sidered, Cuba would be a destructive element in
the baads of the British in tbe event of o war bo-:
tween tho United States and Great Britain. Ho
denied that Spain was an independent nation.
She had sold her sovereignty in Cuba to Great
Britain.
There was a time when she wonld not have felt insulted
by the offer of money, for Great Britain paid her £400,-
000 to atop the slave trade, which she has not done. Ho
further denied that Cubans had petitioned to remain uu-
der the jurisdiction of 8pain. Bolivar’s plan to assist
Cuoa in declaring her independence fell through be
cause tho United States, learning that Great Britain in
tended to seize tho opportunity of her independence to
assume a protectorate, interposed, through Mr. Clay, and
prevented the movement, Spain, alarmed, placed tho
island inn state of siege, anil it has, ever since, so re
mained, under the despotism of aCaptalm-Gencral, who
is invested, like the commander of a besieged city, with
unlimittcd power over life and property. Yet we are
told that Cubans still seek to remain under this yoke.
It is not so. They have done all they could do to throw
it off. In 1826 there was a revolt there; later was thecon-
Bpiracy of the Black Eagles, and later the attempts to
gain her independence fiuniliar to all. July lS51,afew
patriots declared her independence in a proclamation
which Mr. Benjamin read, and which set forth intolera
ble grievances. The fidelity of Cuba to Spain was only
maintained by 30,000 bayonets and the fleets that watch
her coast. The comparison between the oppressed, un
armed Cubans and tho armed three millions of our fa
thers, is fallacious. All that tho Cubans could do they
have done. This being the case, why should not Congres*
make an expression towards purchasing it l He need
not reply to the statement that the offer to purchase will
bo an offense against Spanish dignity. Everything
that Spain held on this continent had been torn from
lier, except Louisiana and Florida, both.of which were
bought. If Great Britain and Fiance olject, that alone
is a controlling consideration for persisting. Great Brit
ain offered to buy Cuba in 1823, and in x3*26 was At tho
bottom ot a plot to take it under her protectorate, and
both failing, she now proposes a tripartite treaty be
tween England, France and the United States," to guar
antee that nobody bnt Spain shall have it.
As to France,what right has she to object to our purchase
of Cuba? What interpolation into the law of nations
prevents tho acquirement of territory-by purchase ! Na^.
poleon’s uncle bought Louisiana. As to England, ;If she
raises her voice, Mr. Benjamin trusted our reply will be
a demand that she. account for her title to the Bay
Islands, and when Lord Clarendon pleads “ spontaneous
settlement,” that we shall claim the fepontaneons settlo-.
ment of Cuba. There is no need to invoke tho musty bl-
bles of national law to show that she belongs to Spain.—
We seek no subjects, for the - fundamental basis of Amer
ican policy is the right of the people to institute their
own forms of government. Cuba belongB to. the people,
and it is for them to say what form of government they
will live under. We propose -to purchase from Spain,;
but if Spain’s' dignity is offended, let ns invite her to
grant independence to her Cuban subjects, aud we will
indemnify her for tho outlay, trusting to a recompense
ourselves in the friendly relations that arnsureto spring
up. If she refuse to cede or to relax her. despotic grasp,
let the United Stri 1 **, iu the face of the world, toll her

firo broke out above the store of Messrs. Murri
and Jackson, from causes unknown, and befor
sufficient aid conid be procured tbe flunes pro
grossed so rapidly as to cause the roof to fall i
before all their stock of goods could be removed
Finding that the tendency of the flames was to pro
ceed through the block, efforts were made to re
move Dr. Bronn’j stock of .drugs, Ac., from th
next door, but the flre repelled those engaged it
tbo work before all the stock cbuld'be saved. Th
rapidity of the flames was so great that it wo
found impossible to save the Western A Atlnnti
Hotel, lleflce, the-furniture wss removed fruo
that and the Elonters* A Mechanics* bank, whicV
constituted part of the same building; and as tber
was an alley of about'five' feet between that an*
the other houses, those engaged in the arrest of th
fl»mes proceeded by tbe application ot carpets,
blankets Ac., spread over the surface of the re
maining buildings, and. kept vTet by an applica
tion of water from buckets, to check tbe progress
of tbe fire and confine it to tbe bnrning establish
ments. In this they were successful.. Uafertu^
nately, the city is not provided with fire engine*,
Ac., with wbioh the firo might have been subdued
ere the damage had reached the amount of three
hundred dollars.
We learn that there was no insurance on either
stock, farniture, or bouser; nnd the losses ore as.
follows: Messrs. Morris A Jackson one thousand
four hundred dollars; Dr. B. 'B. Brown at five
hundred dollars; Captain James Morris fifteen
thousand dollnrs; and Mrs. Field, (Proprietress
Western*A Atlantic Hotel,) five hundred dollnrs.
What goods and furniture were saved were, by-
breakage Ac., depreciated three, fourths of their

Onr last review of the market closed with tha transactions
of the 5th. upon a very inactive market. The steamer Asia;
then pastdne. was oolted for withmnch anxiety.'and neither
boyer or seller appeared wiJ'ing to risk anything in apecu-
lat ong upon the probable effects of tho advices she might
bring from the.other side upon onr staple.
Ti»« week now under review has been very qniet, or-
ginning with Monday, and still without the arrival of the
Asia, only 110 bales so d at prices in tavor of buyers. Tues
day morning’s papers published the Asia's accounts from
Liverpool to the 23d uit., reporting cotton a shade lower,
with sa es for the week of 44,000 bales; Consols lower; po
litical affairs on tbe Continent unsettled ; Havre market de
clined i£c. Ae. This news was regarded bv buyers as unfa
vorable*. who reduced their offering rates to >4c.—363 bales
sold atJi decline. Wednesday was again dull, waitingthe
effects of the late news on the ports—251 bales sold at the
previous'day’s rates. The remaining throe days of the week
the feeling was better, though without any improvement in
prices; the offering stock in the meantime light, thus
enabling factors to be very firm and resist any lower prices,
whieh most have been inevitable had their necessities re
quired larger sales. Thursday 519, Friday 148, and Satur
day J71 bales were sold. We submit the following quota
tions as approximating the sales of the last three days :
