CljrotucU & Stilting BY WILLIAM S. JONES^ (Ulnvnidc cmft Smttnel. AUGUSTA, GaT" TUESDAY MORNING. -NOV, 11. Counterfeit Bil!. We have been shown a Ten Dollar bill, purporting to be issued by the Bank of Au*. guata, which is, however, a gross counterfeit, 'i he signatures of the President, Robert F. Poe ; the Cashier J. VV. Davies and the Pfljre. J. M. Hut, and the date, 4th July, all of which, are remarkably well counterfeited, are the only features ol the genuine bills which are attempted to be imitations. The plate is totally different from any bill ever issued by the Bank, a,»u the engraving badly execated— though it might deceive the unwary and those not very familiar with the issues of the Bank. In the counterfeit, the Vignette or design in tho centre of the bill represents a female reclining in the foreground—a laborer stand ing near with his sleeves rolled up, pointing to some object with his left hand, and a ship in the distance—on the left end is the head of Washing'* on, on the right a profile of an un known head, and between the names of the Presiden£ M nd Cashier a cross of Keys. The paper is ir terior and the eng laving coarser and lighter than the genuine bills. As a considerable amount of these bills have been recently discovered in Dade County, the public should be on their guard. Mobile and Girard Railroad. —The city of Columbus has, in public meeting, which has been confirmed by the City Council, au thorised the subscription of $150,000 dollari to the slock of this road, which is to be ap plied exclusively to the purchase of Iron This subscription it is said will tnabla the company to complete the road to Chun nenugge Ala ,a distance of over forty miles. The City has also subscribed an additional sum, suffi.cent to extend the road across the river from Girard to Columbus, and to erect Depots within the corporate limits, provided that the raid subscription shall become apart of the capital stock of the company. These su bscri ions, the friends of the r t r.a k will be amply suffic ent to secure the rapid progress of the road, and infhse into the friends of the enterprise along the entire line, a spirit that will prosecute to work to an early completion. Consul Owen Removed —The National Intelligencer, cf Saturday contains the follow ing tfiicia! announcement of the recall of Mr. Owen, and the appointment o ( bis success™ • iitpCinthskt by the Peesiiimt.— W. L. Shar key, to bo Consul of the United States, at Havtna, in the Island of Cuba, in plsce of Allen F. Owen, recalled. We presume Mr. Owen’s defence has teen ere thi3, receded at Washington and has, of course, proved unsatisfactory to the Adurnis tration. We shall not he surprised, however, if his removal has been caused rather by popu lar clamor than any neglect of his oilicial duties as the reprerentativo of the government. We are quite familiar with the capacity of the Lopez retainers for nirpiificslicn in their efforts to delude the unfortunate victims of that ill fated expedition, and we think it not probable that they have been more regardf.il of truth in their assaults on Mr. Owen. But time will show. The City Guards. This flourishing young corps, Capt. W. E. Dkarino, paraded for the first time in public on Saturday last, and we are gratified «o learn from those who witnessed it, (for we could not be present) made a most haodsime deb t. Their uniform is among the most tasteful and attractive we have seen, and we feel assured that a little practice under their efficient offi cers, some of whom are experienced in their dudes, having seen service in Mexico, will render them a most accomplished corps— eu ornament to the City. We sincerely hope that their ranks may be well filled, and, as their charter will exempt the members from jury duty, in addition to the eclat of belonging to such a ps, we should think their roll would soon be iiltfed. The Steamer Palmetto. —The Baltimore American thus sp°aks of the new steamship which is to run between that city and Charles ton : “ This noble steamshiph, which has recently been built through the enterprise and liberality of a number of our public spirited citizens, with the view, and in the hope of establishing between this port and the cLy of Charleston, S. C. a regular line of steamships, we are pleased to observe, is now nearly ready for service. We made a visit to the “Palmetto” a day or two since, at the wharf in front of Mr. C. Reeder, jr’s. Foundary, on the north side of the basin, and were much gratified in viewing the various parts of the new steamer, which we think bids fair to rival any of her class afloat. The beautiful model, and faultless proportions of her hull, have been the admira'ion of all who have seen her, among whom have been many fully compe tent to express an opinion in such matters.” To the Constitutionalist and Republic : The following statement is made in ycur paper of the 2d inst: “Nearly 40,000 Whigs voted for Mr. Cobb, while 30,000 Democrats voted for Gov. Me. Donald.” Will you please to explain the mode of arri ving at this result, and oblige A Respectful Inquirer. Ejectment from the Cars. —ln the Su preme Court of Massachusetts, on Saturday, in the case of Edwin Tayler vs. W. H. Os good and others, the jury awarded to the piain'iff damages for being ejeated from the Wo burn branch tiain on the 4th of July, 1850, because, not having purchased a tricket at the depot, he refused to pay the difference estab lished by the by laws of the company. The clipper barque Rebekab, Capt. Sterling, was cleared at the Baltimore Custom House for the newly discovered gold mines io Aus tralia.

Tbe meeting was organised by calling the lion. Sami. Farris to preside. A motion was made to reconsider the action of the meeting of last night, with a view, as it was alleged by those who favored the motion, of allowing the members of the party to consult more fully among tin mselves. in regard to the proper course to be adopted in making a nomination. It was contended on t.ie other side, that there was no necessity for delay, that it has always been the practice of parties to nominate candidates for the United States Senate, in order that one opponent should not have a controlling influence in the election, as they probably would have, were there more than one candidate, Ac. It was finally agreed upon, to proceed to nominate a candidate for the United States Senate, by ballot, and that a majority of all the Constitutional Union mem bers of the Legislature, should be necessary for a choice. Whereupon, the Convention proceeded to ballot. On the first ballot, the Hon. Robt. Toombs received 68 votes, and tbeie were 13 scattering votes. It having been ascertained that 71 votes constituted the required majority, a second ballot was ordered, which resulted as follows : Hou. Robt, Toombs 73; Scattering 3. Mr. Toombs was then declared to be the nominee of the Const ; tutionai Union party, for the Senate of the United States.

Trippe, McDougald and A. J. Miller, said Committee, who retired and in a few minutes, returned, accompanied by Mr. Toombs.

The division on board the Neptuno was taken from the Castls of Ulna. Th« Sfglo Diczy Nuevo speaks of the insurrection as a movement headed by Canales. The Trait d’Union in another article on the sub ject, makes use of the following remarks : And Tehuantepec 1 If, relative to the aggres sive and break neck policy, which has been con tinued up to this time, is pursued with reference to the Garay grant, the Government of the United States will be forced to hostilities, and hostilities once commenced, when will they be finished 1 The neighboring Republic is agitated by a na tional question, that is to say, oneot those qui.s t*ons which are not easily tube passed over in this practical age. Should the United States then, make war, aided by the malcontents here, by Ortiz at Tehuantepec, by the spirit of the pop ulation near the Isthmus, will there not be dan ger that Mexico will lose Oajaca, Chiapas, Ta basco, Yucatan, and a part of Vera Cruz even, that is to say four or fivo States 1 Turning our glance towards the West, the dangerous proximity of Upper California, do not tho we'l known designs of certain adventurers who are regardless of international law, give rea son to fear for Lower California, Sonera and Sinaloa ? Thus the Mexican territory is menaced at three different points at the 3ame time, thirteen States are in danger, and the Federal Treasury is empty of resources to nieot the grave questions which may spring up at any time.

Below we giro additional correspondence re ceived from Borwnsrille, which, through some accident, failed to reach us yesterday in time for our evening edition : Carvajal, on the 25th October, addressed a proclamation to the people of Matamoros, of which the following is a hasty translation : Friiow-Cittizens.— The “ plan” of the 16th of September last, which I and my companions have sworn to defend, was made for your bene fit, and you have a co-operative part in the prin ciples which formed it. Thus it is, that in order to secure its objects, and after having overcome a thousand obstacles, full of joy. 1 come to unite with you in order to expel the tyrant from your midst. A proof of this is the fact of the m- cti- _ with mi,at the rancho of Las Rusias, of a commltte of your representatives, headed by ihe political chief of this department. From him I learned with profound grief that you were fascinated by that same military power which is plunging you into the most frightful abyss. Von were deceived by tyranny, which, united with low pretences and vilo interests of two or three smugglers, overcame your reason by telling von that foieigners were my followers, that my object is to sicure the indepence of the fiontier States and afterwards annex them to the United States of the North. Atrocious calumny! Ami not a Mexican like yourselves ? Have I not proved a thousand times, in periods of danger, that I was faithful to my country, which I never have betrayed, and never will betray*? Have you not seen that it is secured by one article of my plan, and that the foreign auxiliaiies who accompany me are united with the squadrons ol Reynosa, Mier and Guerrero, your brothers, relations and friends, in a contract which binds them to sustain the same cause. I do not know, gentlemen, why you give more credit to the infamous falsehoods of the very tyranny which oppresses you than to the faithful promises and vows of your brothre and friend, and even than to your own convictions. Tyranny has fascinated you, I repeat. Tyran ny profited by your candor, so as to cause you to annihilate yourselves, and to take part In its frr nds and crimes. For this I have found myself received in a hostile manner, and for this it happens that they sacrifice you like au tomatons, while the real enemy lies hidden be hind his parapets. See, my friends, the first act of the troops on going out to the contest. See how far the black designs of despotism have been“cariied. Last night! yes l that night which you will never forget, they set fire to your houses, and not con tent with this atrocious act, they received pleas ure in seeing your blood flow by the light of the flames which they had kindled. And what will you say, fellow citizens? I have desired your support, because thus I would be secured ; be cause you are my brothers, because the cause is holy, and because I long for your preservation. My friends 1 some moments remain to you in which you may reflect, and rid yourselves of the false impressions which have been created In your mirds by some vile hyrocritea and calum niators, who pretend to be your friends. Reflect, for God’s sake reflect on the evils which await you if you persist in your error. What! do you not clearly see the deceit 1 Decide against whom you will direct your fire, against the true liberals—against your relatives and friends, against the liberators who wish to rescue you from tho oppression beneath which yon groan 1 What infatuation 1 Open eyes. Will you continue shedding your bP-rd fi r the benefit of interested agents 7 I cannot think it. Abandon the ranks of tyran ny, leave them, with all that belongs to you, and do not cantinue blind instruments of the blackest pretensions. Observe that I. firm in the principle which I have sworn to defend, will give up every thing before yielding to any vain con sideration. Jose Maria Carvajal. Latf.r from Havana —By the arrival of the Brig Adda, last evening, from Havana, which port she left on the Ist inst., we learn that Mr. Thrasher was still in confinement, and that a repott was current at the time of of her sail ing, that his brother had been arrested on the previous day. We have hoard tha' there is a rumor, likewise in Havana, to the effect that same papers had bean discovered in the office of Mr J. S Thrasher, in the hand writing of Lopez, which implicated his brother, and moat probably ether individuals.— Ch. Cour. Pboposbd Division of Oregon. —A move ment hat lately been set on foot by the settlers in Oregon Territory which has for its object the organizaion of a separate Territorial Govern ment for that portion which lies to the north of the Colunbia river. It isto be called the Co lumbia Territory, and throughout its vast extent is well adapted to agriculture, commerce and manufactuting. The total absence of all munic pal law aid civil officers, the great distance from the scat of the present Government, and the isolated s:tuation of this part of the Territory therefrom, and many other reasons, arc urged as to the pnpriety of the organization of a sepa rate Territorial Government. For the promo tion of tins object a Convention of twenty five delegatcsasscmbled at Carolitz, Lewis county, on the 29th of August, and, after discussing the matter, unanimously adopted the following res olution : “ That*committee of three bo appointed by the President of the Convention to prepare a suitable memorial on that subject to Congress, and that the same be forwarded to the Delegate in Congress from Oregon Territory, requesting him to use his influence to procure the organi zation of t separate Territorial Government.” Previous to the session of the Convention, a committee on districts and counties having been appointed, the territory north of thi Columbia river was divided Into twelve counties, with well prescribed boundaries. The Convention is »o meet again at Olympia some time about the mid dle of next May, there to form a State Conven tion, preparatory to asking admission into the Union as one of the States thereof, provided that Congress has not at that time organized a Territorial Government. — Nat.
