(Brarag gispattjr, GECX Thursday Kvenln*, April »8, 1859. Will there be Opposition to Governo* Brown 1 As the time for the meeting of Con ventions draws nigh, this begins to I < an interesting question. By wliat oan gather from the tone of oui ex changes, American and Democratic, we think we are justified in saying that there is no prospect of any serious or effectual opposition being made to his re-clection. There seems to be no point upon which a party issue can b< made against him. In the last guber natorial canvass the best capital of the Americans was made out of the Demo era tic management of the State The Americans now claim that the Democratic State Administration have adopted the policy so eloquently advo cated by Mr. Hill, and they allow that Gov. Brown, actively and energetically, has carried it out. If that is so, then they can have no more to say on that point. No quarrel can be raised with the Governor as to his opinions on Na tional politics for the people neither know nor care what those opinions are. It is a little ridiculous, the sttict en quiry that is always instituted upon a candidate for State offices as to his opin ions on National politics, and the dis missions which take place on those points always seemed to us a little out of place. They are appropriate in a canvass for Congress, but a Governor has about as little directly to do with them as a Justice of the Peace, the Governor showed that be was of that opinion, by wisely avoiding all men tion of Federal politics in his last an nual message, an unprecedented oinmis sion in a Georgia Governor. The popularity of the Governor is un exampled. With the exception of here and there a disaffected fragment, ho has the approval of his entire party, and had his party not gotten up a nom inating convention, would have had the votes of a large proportion of the American party, as it is, many Ameri cans, who would otherwise have voted f for him, will refuse,coming before them, as he will, as the Democratic candidate. Whether they in conjunction with ( the disaffected Democrats, can get up a < respectable opposition to him is doubt ful. Party ties have becomo much weakened of late, and it will be hard to bring even stringent Americans to vote against one whom they allow to have been a good officer. With the prosent developments, the probability seems to he that the American party will hold no gubernatorial convention, but let the election go by default. It would be very ill judged in them to put up one of their best men (and no other has the ghost of a chance) to be inevitably sac rificed. We stand in the position of outsiders, and perhaps have miscalculated, not being in the secret of the politicians. But with the light* before us, we think that opposition to Gov. Brown’s re-elec tion would be useless. What time may do towards strengthening his opponents cannot be foreseen. But the time for making opposition is fast elapsing, and as yet, little is done towards it. We are glad of this on one account, that there will be no excited contest, use lessly to embitter the feeliDgs of neigh bors and friends against each othei, but we regret It as a member of news-, paperdom, to whom an unopposed candidate is not particularly interest ing. _____ The Baptist Convention. We are desired to give notice that delegates to the Southern Baptist Con vention, to beheld at Richmond, by buy ing a ticket from Augusta to Weldon, N. C., by the way of Columbia, Char lotte and Raleigh, can return free. Stabbing Affray.— On Saturday last an affray occurred in Muscogee county, between Jambs M. Skinner and W«. H. Smith, in which the latter was danger ously wounded. Skinner has abscond ed. —* .♦»«—— rln the case of John Cobb, Jr., convicted for murder at Atlanta, the Supreme Court has confirmed the decis ion of the Court below, and the prison er will probably be executed. t*f“ A portion of the new Jail in Bal timore, now in the course of erection, fell on Friday night with a tremendous crash. The fallen portion was five sto ries in height and comprised about for ty cells. The damage is estimated at $6,000. ► A cargo of vegetable wax and a specimen of the berries producing it has been brought from Japan, and seems to be regarded as a novelty. The species of myrtle producing the wax is abund ant in some parts of the United States, and the wax and mode of preparing it are well known. We suspect that the anticipations of great commercial ad vantages, from opening the trade with Japan, will not be realized, for the Ja paness seem to have few useful articles of production for exportation. .» .. A large number of Pike's Peak explo rers who went from Wisconsin, are re turning. They have little to say and nothing to show. A Si'irixcal Loss.—Spiritualism has sustained another heavy loss, in defec tion of Ada Coan, the rapping and wri- 1 tjng t<»t medium.

Dreadful Death- On Monday mornirg Jno. B. Gilmer, i ion of Secretary Gilmer, who was killed some yeare since by the explosion of a ' .run on board the Princeton, committed ■suicide by throwing himself under the wheels of a locomotive near the depot in Washington City. Mr. Gilmer was editor of the Char lottesville (Ya.) Exponent, and was a lawyer by profession. He was a gentle man of high character and ability, and his death is deplored by a large circle of friends. Some of the witnesses on the inquest testified as follows : Mr. Miller said the first he saw of the man was, that he stretched himself out on the track,he(witness')caned out to the engineer. The man was two or three feet from the wheels of the tender; did not think he was drunk ; he certainly laid down intentionally, and so close the engineer hadn’t time to stop; did not observe the man before. Witness works on the Toad ; observed about de ceased no indications that he had been drinking; had taken no notice of the man before he threw himself down. Mr. James Wesley testified he saw n man spread himself out on the track, too close to the engine to get him out of the way in time to save him. Mai lay down on. his breast; had not obser ved deceased before; saw nobody with deceased, and no indications about him of his having been under influence oi liquor ; is satisfied the man threw him self on the track intentionally. * Ordination of African Missionaries. —A letter to the New York Journnl oj Commerce from Wilmington, Del., says : An interesting scene was Witnessed in one of the churches of this city on Tuesday last, April 13th—the ordina tion of three black men to the work of missions in Africa. They are graduates of a recently established college, called the Ashmun Institute, in honor'of the distinguished pioneer of colonization in Liberia, Rev. Jehudi Ashmun, once Governor of the Colony, a man of bril liant intellect and great administrative capacity, crowned with a comprehensive and cordial spirit of benevolence. The Presbytery of Newcastle is one of the oldest Presbyteries in the United States, if not the mother of them all; steadily conservative on the slavery question, while rampant abolitionism thunders in its neighborhood. The names of these three men are James Amos, Wm, T. Amos, and Armistead Miller. Their examination was strict and thorough, and the result very satisfactory. »•♦••———— Return of the Wanderer’s Passen gers.—The steamship Florida, Capt. Crowell, from New York, which arrived yesterday morning, brought with her Mr. C. A. L. Lamar, and the gentlemen who accompanied him on board the Wanderer on last Thursday. The yacht encountered a heavy gale on Friday, which carried away her main-boom, and otherwise damaged her, but not se riously. She has returned, and was ly ing about four miles below the city, when we went to press last night. She will probably be brought up this morn ing, and undergo thorough repairs.— Sav. News. Lords Lyons and Namer. : —Lord Lyons, the new British Minister, is a young, goodlooking, pleasant-mannered bachelor,and is spoken of as a thorough ly-educated diplomatist. His Secretary, Hon. Mr. Monson, is also a highly ac complished young gentleman. He was introduced by Lord Napier to Secretary Cass on Friday, It is understood that his formal presentation to the President would take place yesterday. Lord Na , pier looks quite sad. Mr. Cass lately took occasion to compliment in high terms the late Minister, for whom ht (entertains the warmest regard. Lord Lyons will take his position at the foot of the diplomatic list. Lord Napier's standing was number eleven. The Washington Star says he will be more regretted than any foreign Minister who has been in Washington for years. »«♦». ■ ■■ Baptist Bible ana i ulporieur Society or Georgia.

A Town About to be Swept Away. The Richmond (Madison Parish, La.,) Democrat o: the Bth says : The water is fast encroaching upon the town and the most sanguine are compelled reluctantly to acknowledge that Richmond is hound to go under. Both bridges across Roundaway wero swept off on Tuesday night, and" nearly all the propety east of the bayou is flooded. A levee is being constructed to protect the Court House and proper ty west of it, leaving the balance to the S mercy of the waters. Another Failure in Cotton Cultiva tion.—According to the Paris correspon rheKe'v Orleans Picayune, the h P reaß« o tu Veinment has decided that s tivati s on of h rn?t ett ‘" miS paid for the cul ‘ IboUshed Al°tL ln u A l? eria shall be , boasts that while poundfof cotton were grown in Algeria in lgr,4 , and 1,560.000 Bounds in 1847, and n>» crop in 1858 will be still larger, there seems to be little question the experi -3 ment has proved a costly failure, ant the Government regards money speu on this crop as treasure thrown away.- The decree hints the Government wil ; soon cease to buy the cotton grown it that colony ; at present it is under obli gations to buy all the cotton raisec I there. Therefore, in a year or twe this experiment of the French will share the fate of their other costly ex periments. —- - 1 The number of passengers brought down to Panama, by tne regular oppo sition line of steamers, on a late trip, nearly thirteen hundred. The Belly Canal Enterprise in Nicara gua. j It scarcely admits of a doubt says the a Charleston News that the enterprise of j M. Belly in Nicaragua meets with the e private encouragement of the French 4 Emperor. It is said that a powerful op position has been formed against it _ there on account of the magnitude of a the privileges accorded. A correspon .. dent of a New York paper writes as fol lows from Washington in relation to . the matter : 11 “Three hundred engineers, surveyers and other assistants, are expected on it the Isthmus, connected with M. Belly’s party. There is a party in the country which denounces them as French filli t busters. It is almost certain that the Canal project will fall to the ground e from the magnitude of the work, the j difficulty of procuring labor, and the i | enormous estimated expenditure T h “ 0 1 least estimate of the cost is $16,000,000 ( j I have seen a private letter from a gen , g tletnan now resident in Central America _ and who has been engaged in similar n works for twenty five years,stating that e engineers who have surveyed M. Belly’s route have given their opinion that the work upon the cheapest plan consistent c with efficiency, will absorb the twenty thousand men ten years, that is to say that it will cost for labor alone, . ’ something over $60,000,000.” “ From the Atlanta Intelligencer. H Minutes of Points ileclcled by the Su >f preme Court at Atlanta, March . Term. 1859. Macon and Western railroad company vs. Wm. N. McConnell—notice, from s.

Supreme Court was delivered yesterday t morning, by Judge McDonald, There were several exceptions taken by coun ’ sel to the rulings and decisions of the ' court below, all of which were overruled by the Supreme Court and the judgment affirmed. The Court held: Ist It is not g error for the Court, to advise the Sheriff _ beforehand, to direct the constables in _ different part of the county, to summon jurors, qualified to act as jurors, to be in attendance at Court, on a certain d day—it appearing that the Sheriff a summoned jurors, indiscriminately and d without reference to such notice. 2d i- It is not error for the testimony to be , read over to the witnesses before the - jury, to ascertain whether the same be s correct. 3d. It is not error for a witness y to identify an instrument, on saying ■t that it answers a previous description of it it. 4th. Where the Court charges the jury that a witness who swears negative y ly—it is equivalent to saying that h positive testimony is l entitled to more ie weight than negative testimony—and d hence there was no error in the charge >t of the Court. sth. The slung shot s proved in this case, to have been found e near the spot, where the murder was e committed, was admissable in evidence r —(though, ruled out by the Court,)and • hence there was no error in the Soli r citer Gene al.allui inr to it and exhibit ing it to the jury, during his argument. - 6th. It was not error in the Court, to - allow the written letter by Crockett, to . Cobb and Jones, advising them to con a fessthe crime as he had done; the same e being offered, not to prove the guilt of Cobb, but to render his answer to it in ■- telligible to the jury. 7th.

Tidwell contra. e s Expenses of the Paraguay Expedi tion.- -The allegation,says the Washing ton Constitution, of the Republican journals, that the President has spent ' millions upon this expedition, is wholly unfounded. We repeat, that this ex -1 pedition will not cost the government 3 a dollar beyond the ordinary expendi -3 tures of the Navy Department in time • of peace, except the sum of $289,000 3 for the purchase of seven small steam -3 ers. An appropriation was made for ? this purpose by the last Congress, and 1 ■ all will admit tnat these vessels of a light draught of water, were greatly 3 needed by the navy. ■ Cuban Convention. The Memphis Bulletin publishes a call, addressed to ‘ “every Cuban Junta in the United 3 !

Waller . —The “Grey-Eyed Man of Destiny” has rc turned to his old haunts on the Pacific coast. He travels under the modest alias of “James Wilson,” and is attend- e_ ed by Bruno Natzmer, of Nicaraguan memory, who came with him. They y put up at the Metropolitan Hotel. No q ■ public demonstration was made, and I j. fear that the General has ‘‘caved in” v at least for California. He finds the a ! character of our population much al- c i tered. The wild, roving, adventurous, • reckless fellows who used to flock to Walker’s banners, have all gone to 1 more profitable employments. No one 0 j knows what Walker means to do here. a He keeps very snug, and I have not yet seen him in the streets. Shooting Affair A serious shooting affair occurred at New Orleans, onTucs : day last, between two of the proprietors " of the Louisiana Courier, Mr. M Vernon 1 and J. J. Bossiere. Capt.

GALLAHER has made ar rangements to open a select school, to « commence MONDAY, May 2:1, for young ladies j, : , and gentlemen, in a part of the dwelling house r ■ .of Dr. M. E. Swiuney, 405 Broad street, which 1 . ! has been arranged for that purpose. No labor will be spared lo make the school j ‘ thorough and profitable to all who may attend. The successiul management of a school, re i quires that its pupils be kept punctually and dll- ‘ I igently employed in their studies. Advance u ment of every kind requires punctuality and f, ' diligence ; and without these there can be no 1 i advancement, especially in acquiriug an educa ton. Kuowing this by several years’ experi *' ence in teaching, I shall endeavor to have all T 1 my pupils diligently engaged in the school room, p i and I hope to give general satisfaction.

Mr." Gallaher earned for himself an en ■ viable reputation, as a teacher, in the same 11 school last winter. The characteristics of his t teaching, are order, sj stem, thoroughness.
