by WILLIAM S. JONES (gfironicle ani Sentinel. AUGUST A, G- A • SUNDAY MORNING OCT 5, 1831 A Brief Review of (be Compromise Measures. The acts of the late Congress, known as the Compromise Measure?, were six in num her. Ist. The admission of California as a State 2d. The Territorial organization of Utah 3d. The Territorial organization of New Mexico. 4th. The Texas Boundary settlement. sth. The Fugitive slave law. 6th. The law suppressing the Slave trade in the District of Columbia. The admission of California was opposed by a majority of Southern members, but is acknowledged to have been clearly within the constitutional discretion of Congress. The character of the State Constitu ion offered, except to see that it was Republican, Congress has been uniformly held by the opinion of Southern Statesmen, incompetent to inspect. The second measure was in strict conformity to the demand of the South, and of Georgia and against that of the Northern States. The third was also in like strict conformity. The fourth measure was a transaction botwe*n the General Government aid Texas, to which both were perfectly competent. The fifth was in precise conformity to the will of the Sou h. The sixth was opposed by the Southern mem bers, but was in conformity to the law of Maryland, from which the District had been cut off, and was in compliance with the wishes of the inhabitants of the District. Four of the measures—the 2 I, 3J, 4th and sth, were passed by large majorities ofSouth ern members. The other two by majorities of Northern Members. The last named—that in relation to the slave trade in the District— is after all, but a small extension of tLe law which has been in force for half a century. The collecting and offering slaves in the Dis trict itself, has been punishable by the forfei ture of the slave for that length of time. The penalty was extended to the case of col lecting slaves in the District, for transports tion ana sale elsewhere—a costom which subjected the inhabitants to all the inconve niences, and olfered them none of the eonvenienr.es of the collection and sal 3 in the District. In relution to the New Mexico and Utah bills, it has been the subject of complaint that Congress rejected Seddkk’s and Millson’s amendments. These objections are captious entirely. The unanimous vote of the South would, have carried either of them. It wus because the South was —- stitu'.ionulity of legislation, anJ almost unani mous as to its inutility, that those amendments were not carried. It has already been shown in these columns, that the proposition to affirm the existence of Mexican laws, was toted down by a larger majority than the proposition to disaffirm The entire number of Southern tnembe s was 91. Mr. Milllsor’s amendment received i 49 votes. The vote was taken by tellers, an 1 [ .we have not therefore, the names of those 'voting for and against the amendment. If, however, there was a solitary Southern man, who voted against it, that single vote with the actual Southern strength would have oarried the amendment. The vote on Skbdex s amendment was 85 to 53. Tho united South ern vote would have carried it. Yet we are told that “the Southern States beinga minor tv in federal numbers,” havo boon deprived of all their interest in the territories acquired from Mexico. The South meant no pleasant joke when it planted itself on non-intervention. It meant what it said. In surveying the entire question it came to the conclusion that we did not need intervention, and that it wxs dangerous to ask it, right or wrong. This was hsr position. The idea that the repeal of Mexican laws was consistent with the doctrine of non inter vention, once afforded much merriment to the Constitutiona’ist. What it once thought to be the moaning of non-intervention, may hive some light thrown upon it by the following extracts: “If the right to legislate is conceded to CoDgrcss this by its very terms concedes the right to pro hibit slavery.” Again —“To surrender to Congress, then, the right to lctrisbte cn this question, is nothing more nor less than to invite them to pass tho Wilmot Pro vieo, and to promise in advance to acquiesce, or ta call it legal.” This was in a comment upon Mr. Toombs’ argument in favor of the “removal of existing legal impediments.” . , . it is evident then that, of the six bills the 6th was but asmall exlension ,and atthe wish of the inhabitants, of a law wmch had pre vailed for 50 years. The first, though objec tionable, was not unconstitutional, and was passed on a princ pie ever held sacred by tho South. The remaining four were passed by majority votes of Southern men. Early Frost. —There was a s'ight frost al Perry, Houston Go on the morning of the 99th ult. There was a white frost at St. Mathews S. C. the same morning. Weather, Health, &c.—At the clote oi another week we have again to repeat thi " ‘ tifviog assurances that tho health of the citj tinues good. The weather has nndergon. « chance which is calculated to dissipate an; annrehensions which may yet linger in th< minds of those who are slow to believe that i Summer and autumn can pass away tn Nev Orleans without epidemic disease in any form The atmosphere is clear, the breeze is cool an. invigorating, and we are admon.shed of thi near approach of winter, not only by the chill: breathof the wind, but also by the activ,:; which prevail, in making the necessary prepa tions for the business season.

While the people in April 1 last, expressed their desire to elect their offi cers by their own suffrages, there have been many exceptions made One class thinks it wrong to claim the election by-the people of the Clerks of Council—another objects so the City Treasurer—ano her to the Jailor—anoth er to the City Marshal— another to theJudre of the Court of Common Pleas—the largest class object to the election of the Night Watch—and, in this way, exceptions are made to ail the officers of the City. The class which favors the election of olithe City Officers by the People, (of which I am one, and I think I have been as indefatigable a friend to that reform as any other man can be) is so very small, th-.»t I think it doubtful if 150 votes could be ofe tsined for it. In April last, the people wore in favor of a change in the niodo of electing City Officers, nd hence they voted “By the People,” but now, when it is desirable that that expression of opinion should be made to assume a tangi ble form, the new d/ffijulty arises. 1 very frankly admit that I believe the whole matter is a failure—that no change can or will be effected—that the people have not deter mined what change they desire. For one, ( am opposed to any change that is not radical, thorough, complete ; and 1 am satisfied that there are hundreds who are opposed to a thorough change, and will not conform to my views. If “A Voter” had been properly posted up in relation to this matter, he would not have intruded his questions before the candidates for seats in the Legislature, at this time. How can the candidatesan.wer the question? Wil it satisfy me to have them say that thi y are in favor of a partial change 7 Will it please others for them to say that they are for a thorough change 7 There are not enough candidates, if all were elected, to represent tho various views of the people of Augusta on this ques ion. When we have definitely determined upon what we want, it will ba time enough to inter rogate candidates for the Legislature. A “ By the People” Voter. Sentence or the Michigan Railroad Coxi-pirators. —The twelve prisoners con vie - ed of conspiracy to burn the central railroad depot in Detroit were brought up for sentence on tho 3G:h inst.

We observe, however, that the Lon don correspondence of the Commercial Ad vertiser treats aspure fiction all idea of Eng land being privy to any such engagement. A few days probably will solve the question. Louisville, Sept. 30—A collision occurred yesterday on the Louisville and Frankfort rail road between the froight and passenger train near Frankfort.

Mr. Tod, American Minister at Rio d 8 Ja neiro, was expected to leave th re on his re turn home about the Ist of September.

De Haven, one of tha vessels sent out by Mr, Henry Grnnell to search for Sir John Frank lin arrived at the navy yard Brooklyn. We have had au interview with E.K Kaue, Esq , surgeon ta the expedition, to whose courtesy we are indebted for tha following particulars. It will bo remembered that the latest previ ous intelligence from the American vessels, the Rescue, and the Advance, was to the 1 3th of September, 1060 rec iv«d through the English papers. On that day they parted company wi h the English squadron as mentioned in tha despatches of Capt. Penny. On the same uight they wei e frozen in at Wellington channel. From that point com menced their Noithern drift, and they were carried up the channel (o latitude 75 25, the greatest Northing ever attained in that meri dian. Fora that latitude they conna«ceed drifting again to tho South, and in November, 1850, en red Lancas'er Sound. During this time, the violence of the eruptions of tha ice was so great that they could keep no fires regular lv lit on account of tha motion of the vessel. The mcr’ury in tho thermometer fell below zero. The bod.ling froze in every apartment and even the coffee and soup became congeal ed as soon as taken off tho fire. It was at this timo that the scarvy broke out, at'acking all the ctsws and officer, Captain De Haven and Dr. Kane included. By dint of assiduji-8 attention and constant vigilance, howevor, Dr. Kane succeeded in keeping down tho disease, and fortunately brought them all through the disease without losing a single man. Anyone who isr Dr. Kane's eye when he modestly men ioned this grat fv ing fact, would readily beliav* U.IO UvJ-U uiyuvU '* The principal eruptions in the ice, we may here mention. occurred on tha 11th of Novem ber and the Bth of December, 1850, and the 13th of January, 1851. «>n which latter day the expedition en’ered Baffin’s Bay. During their continuance in this ice the vessels were lifed up by the s eru as high as si; feet seven or eight inches, with a list to starboad of two feet eight inches, the discomforts uud inconvenience of which may well be imagined. During this whole time a'.so the men had to have their knapsacks constantly prepared, as well as sleighs <fcc , not k towing but that a any moment the vessels, strong as they were, might be crushed by the ice. They were three weeks without taking off their clothes. Fortunately the ice lifted up, ra'her than crushed the vessels which lay often at a considerable elevation on the crest of the upheaving ice. From this ice the vessels emerged on tl e 10th of June, 1851, afer an imprisonment of nine months. During this lima they had drifted one thousand and sixty miles, —a polar drift of unprecedented extent. The only one in any way analagous with it, we believe, was that of Capt. Back, in Hudson’s Bay, which, however, did not compare with it in extent. During this whole imprisonment in the ice, the two vessels suffered comparatively little dam age. The Advance lost her bob stays and part of her false keel j the Rescue had her cutwater and bowsprit literally chiselled off. Having got both his vesssls liberated, Capt. De Haven determined again to try to prosecute bis search, and turned the Advance’s head to the Northward. He succeeded in reaching the upper Melville Bay region, but was there again hemmed in by ice. From this he was not liberated until the 19 h of August, at which t me rhe season was so far advanced that it was impossible for him to proceed and accomplish his purpose, even supposing every’hing should be favorable and no ice intervene. 118 therefore reluctantly determined to re turn home. The Advance called at the Green land ports, where she obtained fall supp'ies of fresh meats, vegetables, &a., and Dr. Kane soon had the happiness of seeing the scurvy entirely disappear. Capt De Heven's was the most severe attack, and afforded a singular illustration of one of the peculiar features of the disease. A email wound on his finger made when a school boy by a blow from a cane, and many years ago completely healed and forgotten, was re-opened by the disease. A similar result attended a wound which Dr. Kane received in the Mexican war, aud indeed every man ex hibited a similar illustration of this phase of the disease. The expedition has returned without the loss of a man, which speaks volumes alike for 1 the oilicers and men ; and is no mean praise 1 for the surgeon of the expedition. The American vessels last saw the English ' shio Prince Albert at 11 o’clock A. M. on the l 12th of August s’ariding South East, having 1 given up, as Capt. Dellaven concluded all hope of getting round the n&y ice, and making i (he Southern passage. Capt. Dell, thinks it • probable that she would reach Prince Regent’s inlet. • Not having had time to visit the vessel her self, wo cannot speak of her appearance after , her voyage. Dr Kane an exceedingly intelli gent and affable gontleman, looks well al .l though somewhat weather beaten, a He thinks, after seeing the region and the t resources on shore, that Sir John Franklin and a hie crews are probably yet alive. The Ad* . vance has brought home the relics of Sir John’s visit to ihe place where three of his men were a buried. a Also two or three Esquimaux dogs, one of .. them not many weeks old, apparently very fine and intelligent animals. Q Dr. Kane speaks in the highest terms of I Capt. Deiiaven, and we are sure that Mr t f Grinneil mast feel a proud satisfaction ir, i having sot on foot the expedition, i We learn from Mr. Grinnell that Lady Frank i lin entertains the same opinion as Dr. Kane - with respect to her noble husband.
