Friday Evening, 3lay Id, ISOS.
Southern Commercial Convention.
Wo have nothing from our correspon
dent to-day. We learn from the Mont
gomery papers that the Slave Trade was
under discussion up to 11 o’cloch on
Wednesday night. Robert C. Scott.
of Alabama, gave notice that at the pro
per time he would offer, as a substitute
for the resolutions reported from the
Committee by Mr. Spratt, of South
Carolina, the following resolution which
embodied his views, thougli it was
drawn up by a gentleman from Georgia.
“J&aofrnf, That it is Inexpedient for this
Convention to take any action upon the
subject of re-opening the foreign Afri
can Slave Trade, either by recommend
ing a repeal of the existing laws, 01
otherwise.”
He deprecated the discord that this
question was causing in the Convention
and in the South.
Mr. Hilliard, of Alabama spoke
against the report and concluded his
speech in the afternoon.
Mr. Pryor, of Virginia, obtained the
floor and moved the indefinite postpone
ment of the whole subject. He said lie
would not submit the motion to lay on
the table, as that would cut off debate.
But he wanted to change the condition
of the question as to have the vote first
taken upon the indefinite postponement.
Mr. Preston, of Virginia, obtained the
floor, but said he desired merely to oh
‘tain the privilege of addressing the
Convention to-morrow upon this ques
tion.
The Convention took a recess until
half-past? o'clock to-night.
The Convention was called to order at
half past seven o'clock by the Presi
dent.
Mr. Mark A. Cooper, of Georgia, was
called to the chair by the President.
Mr. Harper of Alabama, and Mr.
Hunter of Georgia, addressed the con
vention at considerable length in oppo
sition to the report of the committee |
upon the African slave trade.
Mr. Hubbard, of Alabama, addressed ,
the convention in favor of the proposi
tion of Mr. Yancey, recommending the j
repeal of existing laws prohibiting thew
foreign slave trade.
On motion of Mr. Todd, of Florida, at
U o’clock the Convention adjourned
until Thursday morning, 9 o'clock.

[jif- N. p, Willis Esq., of Idlewitd,
had sufficiently recovered from his late
illness to renew his daily exercise in the
saddle, but on Friday his favorite horse
took fright and threw him, dragging
him some distance with his right foot
in the stirrup. He was very badly
bruised by the feet of the running horse,
but fortunately no hones were broken,
and the confinement to his bed will be
but temporary.
itr The rose cotton, excelling in firm
ness of lint and length of the staple,
the kind ordinarily produced, has been
sold in Galveston, Texas, at a price
above the market value of the Mexican
XJulf cotton. As a new variety, it prom
ises to be a decided improvement.

Hilly Bowlegs Gone West.
Accounts from Florida contain the
gratifying intelligence that one bun
; dred and sixty-five of the Indians, Bil
ly Bowlegs among them, embarked on
the Gray Cloud, and will he carried im
mediately West.
From the statement of Maj. F. N.
Page, late Adjutant General, we learn
' that Sam Jones, and his crowd, and
• their families, with some others, refused
! > to emigrate, and Jones says, ha would not
■ emiqrdtt for two wagon, loads of money !
Some of his men and women, followed
those of his party, leaving their camps,
' and ridiculed them for selling tliem
' -selves for money!
' The Indians in the country are now in
, three parties ; Ist, the boatman, num
bering twelve warriors and one hoy ca
naille of bearing arms. This party Bil
ly leaves with reluctance, and asserts,
positively, that if they could have been
■ found they would have emigrated wil
lingly. He hopes that they will not be
1 killed, and says they will notice a white
lag. He says, further, Sam Jones is a
; fool and he does not care what becomes
j of him. 2d, Sam Jones’party, number
ing seventeen men, witli their families,
inciudiug Sam Jones ; of these, are five
• old men and twelve warriors. Sam
Jones’ party originally numbered twen
ty-one warriors—-four of them are on
hoard. sd, the Talahassees. The
■ strength of this party is not accuratly
known, but, from all the information
■ received, numbers eight warriors with
their families. Billy says he has not
. seen these Indians for five years,
i Os the one hundred and sixty ludi
. ans emigrating, there are thirty-eight
men and boys capable of hearing arms,
■ and claimed by Billy to be fifteen years
and over, besides these, two negroes
1 capable of bearing arms, and probably
more belligerent than the hostile In
dians. The remainder—oue hundred
and twenty-seven—are women and chil
dren (hoys and girls.l
i The volunteer force has been dis
ifiarged, though it is by uo means cer
tain that hostilities have ceased, since
Jones has ample force left to give the
settlements no little trouble.
The career of Billy Bowlegs and the
j history of our Florida Campaigns are
| full of romantic interest, and perhaps
! without a paralel! in the history of bor
jder warfare.

) Mr. Rlcaud, of Maryland, spoke

lithe States were checked in giving the

Mr. Stephens, in his reply to the va
rious objections against the bill, said
' that Congress could only look into the
c Constitution of a new State, to see that
iit is republican in form and fairly and
legally expresses the will of the people.
The House voted on the substitute of
Mr. Sherman, of Ohio, requiring, as a
, fundamental condition precedent for

An infernal machine was found re
j eently in the warehouse of R. Kent, on
on the canal, in South Akron, Ohio,
. while removing a stock of agricultural j
■ implements, &c. The Beacon says :
“ On taking out and inspecting it, the
. box was found to contain the running
, works of a brass clock, so adjusted and
f fixed so that the revolution of the
. stem would draw a bunch of friction
matches, connected with a train of tis
sue paper and fine shavings over the,
! tube of a lamp wick. An oyster can,
j cut and fitted with a leather top, and
filled with comphene was placed under
the clock, being the lamp to furnish
blaze. The box was enclosed in a large
box, which contained combustibles. A
j bottle of camphene was near, and some
f quarts of quick friction matches. When
adjusted and the lamp lighted,* the
j clock would have run. several hours,
l (according as it was wound up,) and
, gradually drawn the matches into the
. blaze, when the combustion would have
been instantaneous.

Solved I—DR. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR
; DIAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach
has lost the power of duly converting food
! life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single
I course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric
fluid re acquires its solvent power, and the crude
; nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to
| the sufferer, while bis digestive organization was
■I paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the
wholesome revolution ereated in the system, the
basis of activity, strength and health.
The iiervous'sufferer, while tormented by the
acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux j
or ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter- !
rors, wakened by periodical fits, threatened with ;
paralysis, fbofne down and dispirited by that |
terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of I
nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain !
or disability arising from the unnatural condition
of the wonderful machinery which connects ev
ery member with the source of sensation, mo
tion an .1 thought—derives immediate benefit
from the use of this Cordial, which at once calms,
invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous
organization.
Females who have tried it are unanimo s in j
| declaring the Elixir lobe the greatest boon that j
woman has ever received from the hards of j
I medical men.
I Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im
| mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite.
1 While it renews the strength of the digestive
powers it creates a desire for the solid material j
which is to bo subjected to their action. As an J
appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia.
If longlile and the vigor necessary to its on- j
joyment are desirable, this medicine is indeed of j
preciou' worth
Its beneficial effects are not tvnflned to either
sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing
wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn
man of business, the victim of neevous depres
sion, the individual suffering from general do
bility or from the weakness of a single organ
will all find immediateand permanent relh f from
the u-c of this incomparable ren >va?or. To 1
those who have a predisposition to paralysis it ,
will prove a complete aud unfailing safe guard
against that terrible milady. There are many j
perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu- i
tion that they think themselves beyond the reach
of medicine. Let not even those despair. The j :
Elixir deals with disease ns it exists, without re- j _
lerence to the causes, and will not only remove 1
the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con- -
stitr.tion
