The prospect in South-western Georgia.
We were at Americua last week where the ses
sion of (lie Superior Court of’ Sumter county,
brought together gentlemen from nearly every
county in the 2d District. The reports from every
county except one are highly favorable to the suc
cess of Democracy. Our friends were nevermore
confident of victory, and never more deserving of it
than at this time. In most of the counties they
have nominated good and strong men, and are de
termined to eleet them. We feel confident that
Algerine Federalism will find but little sympathy in
South-western Georgia. James Johnson, lire am
phibious nominee of the Webster men in the 2d
District, has been all things by turns, and nothing
long. He once professed to be a Democrat, but the
Democracy were afraid to trust him. He then be
came a hanger on of Messrs. Toombs and Stephens,
and signed llteir bill of indictment against General
Scott. Ofcourse he then considered himselfa mem
ber o! the Webster party, and he has since enlisted
into the Algerine rangers. We believe the gen
tleman has never been very particular what party
he belonged to, provided the pay was good. His
principles, like Joseph’s coat, are of many colors,
and his political coat was made to wear either side
out, according to circumstances. Against this pie
bald politician the Democracy have nominated the
gallant young Colquitt, a knight without fear, and
without reproach, and if dame Fortune has as good
taste as most other Ladies, she will be sure to
crown him with her favors. The Democracy of the
2d District have determined that Colquitt shall re
present them in the next Congress, and whatever
the Democracy determine, that they generally per
form ; so that Mr. James Johnson, like Capt. Mar
tin Scott’s coon, might as well come down.— Tele

South-western Railroad Extension.
The Georgian says:—At the meeting of Direc
tors of the .South-western Railroad, held at Macon,
on the lull inst., it was voted unanimously I< ex
tend the rood the distance of about thirty-five miles
beyond Americas, provided planters and others
along the line of the proposed extension will furnish
two-fifths of the estimated cost of the work. Two
fifths will he $225,000. according to the estimates.
The extension will be in a right line through the
12th district of Lee, and the 4'h of Randolph, into
the 3d of Baker county, striking the boundary of the
latter at a point nearly mid-Way between Albany
and Fort Gaines. The survey is to be made imme
diately. We are informed that there is not the
slightest doubt that the planters will subscribe the
amount required of them.
It is of course known to our readers that the
road from Oglethorpe to Atnoricus has been for
months under contract—the work in a state of vig
orous prosecution.

The New Constitution of Massachusetts—Adjournment
of the Convention.
On the day of the adjournment of the Con
vention,the 11 til inst., it was in session, with the
exception of a recess at one o’clock P. M. and
another at seven, of an hour each, from nine
o’clock on Monday morning to two on Tues
day. During that period the final act of the
Convention, embracing a summary of its labors
from the commencement, was reported for the
first time, forming a compact printed pamphlet
of forty pages- It was read over, chapter by
chapter, discussed in many of its parts, and a
large number of questions were taken on va
rious propositions, some by yeas and nays, and
others by count. No material alterations, how
ever, were made from the form of the original
report except in mere matters of detail. All
the measures of the majority were carried by a
large superiority of numbers.
In this document, all the amendments pre
viously agreed on, in resolutions discussed in
committee of the whole, and twice read and
adopted by the Convention, are incorporated
methodically with the existing constitution, em
bracing all the provisions of that instrument, and
its successive amendments not superseded, and
excluding all parts which are so superseded,
either by previous amendments, or by the reso
lutions of the present Convention.
The parts of the present constitution thus re
tained, together with the most importantamend
inents now adopted, consisting of fourteen dis
tinct chapters, and occupying thirty-eight prin
ted pages, are submitted to the people for their
ratification or rejection, in a single act. A va
riety of less important amendments now propos
ed, to the number of seven, are submitted in dis
tinct propositions, for acceptance or rejection
by the people, by distinct votes. If accepted,
they will be hereafter incorporated in the con
stitution under the heads specified; and it re
jected, they will for the most part hardly bo
missed, and some of them, if missed, we con
ceive not to be regretted.
Among the present amendments thus incor
porated in the proposition No. 1, are—
-Ist. One which entirely changes the organi
zation and manner of election ot the Senate,
making the members eligible in forty single dis
tricts, by a plurality of votes, instead of being
elected in districts composed of entire counties,
by a majority of votes, wherever that can he at
tained, but in case ot failure by joint ballot ot
the two branches, from the two candidates for
each seat on the popular ballot. This amend
ment was concurred in by almost general con
sent.
2. It is provided that the council shall lie
elected by the people, one member in each of
eight districts, each council district to be coin
posed of’’five contiguous senatorial districts.
The members of the council are to be styled, if
the orthography of the committee who reported
the draft of the act adopted is to be followed,
not counsellors, as heretofore, but couneil
lors.”
3. Anew organization of the House ot Re
presentatives, which is to consist ot four hun
dred and seven members, elected annually, and
four hundred and thirty oneelected on the years
of valuation of estates. These representatives
are assigned by an apportionment entirely new,
which we shall explain hereafter.
4. There are some important alterations, in
regard to the majority, and plurality of votes to
be required in elections, of a somewhat complex
character.
5 The principal State officers, viz.
tary of State, Treasurer, Auditor, and Attorney
General, are to be chosen by the people.
6th An important change is proposed in the
tenure ot judicial appointments—the term of of
fice of Judges of the Supreme, Judicial, and
other courts, being limited to ten years, instead
of being during good behavior.
7th. Judges of Probate, Registers of Probate
and of Deeds, Sheriffs, District Attornies and
Trial Justices, are to be chosen biennially by
the people.
Bth. The right of suffrage is opened to every
male citizen, twenty one years of age and
upwards, except paupers and persons under
guardianship, who has been a resident in the
common wealth one year, and in the town in
which he may claim a’ right to vote six months
—the condition of payment of a State or county
tax being dispensed with.
9th. Provision is made for taking the sense
of the people on the question of the expediency
of a convention fora new revision ot the consti
tution, in 1873, and in every twentieth year
thereafter. It is also made the duty of the Leg
islature to submit to the people the question of
a convention for revising the constitution when
ever they shall be requested so to do by votes
of the people in towns and cities containing not
less than a third part of the qualified voters.
These are the principal, new provisions em
braced in proposition No. 1. The seven other
propositions, adopted in separate resolves by the
convention, relating to writ of habeas corpus ;
making jurors judges of the law in criminal ca
. ses ; giving to State creditors the right to re
cover ffieir claims by suit abolishing imprison
ment for debt, except in cases of fraud ; pro
hibiting the appropriation of school monies to
any religious sect, “for the maintenance exclu
sively of its own schools/’ prohibiting the cre.i’
tion of corporations by special acts, when un
necessary ; and requiring the adoption, in . all
banks to be hereafter established, of the New
York system.

New York, Aug. 17.
The steamship America arrived at Halifax on the
10th inst. The Arabia arrived out on Saturday.
The sales of Cotton for the week amounted to 14,000
bales, of which speculators took 4,000 and exporters
7,0‘ 0 bales. The quotations are as follows:

Middling Uplands, a 7-Bd.
The demand was moderate, and the Fair and Mid
dling qualities had declined l-Bd.
Consols are quoted at 97 1-8,
The Turkish question is still unsettled, and doubts
are increasing as to its final adjustment.
Political Intelligence.
The Eastern question, it is believed, has been nearly
decided one way or the other. The prospect for peace
is thought to be less favorable. The decision of the
Czar would not be known, however, until the 12th
prox. If he accepts, his troops will have to be with
drawn from the disputed provinces.
The conferees at Vienna will draw up a treaty, for
the protection of Turkey in ail time to come. If the
Czar refuses the ultimatum, or evades a reply, then the
allied fleets will pass the Dardanelles, and active opera
tions for the maintenance of Turk sli rights will be com
menced.
The conduct of the Russian Generals and the Prin
cipalities indicates an intention to retain permanent
possession. Russia shows no signs of retraction.
It is stated that Austria will demand reparation from
the United States, for the Costa affair, and that Turkey
will he required to immediately procure his extradition.
It is said that the Czar advised Austria to give the Uni
ted States no pretence for interfering in the affairs of
Europe.

nock on the 30th ult.
Among the Humboldt’s passengers is S. G. Good
rich, late Consul at Paris.
Russia and Turkey. —The Eastern question wears
a less favorable aspect. It was feared that the Empe
ror of Russia would decline to withdraw his forces
from the Principalities, as stipulated in the propositions
of the three Powers. The English and French fleets
would in that case be ordered to pass the Dardanelles,
and a peaceful settlement of the dispute be greatly
jeoparded.
A telegraphic dispatch, dated Constantinople, vJuly
20th, states that the Porte and representatives of the
great Powers, had accepted the proposition of the Aus
trian Minister, which arranged that the English and
French fleets should withdraw from Besiea Hay. whilst
the Russians evacuated the Principalities. Turkey
would then send an Ambassador to open negotiations at
St. Petersburg. Conferences wete also to be opened
at Vienna by the consent of Russia.
Great uneasiness had also been created by a decree
of the Czar ordering a fresh levy of recruits through
out the Empire. This was interpreted as looking to
war.
The statement is re-asserted that the United States
had oftered to assist the Porte with money and active
forces.
The intelligence from the Principalities was important.
Moldavia had declared itself independent of the Porte
and refused to pay for the tribute ; a similar movement
is expected in Wallachia.
It is asserted that the Porte intends addressing an
ultimatum to Russia, in which, after paying due regard
to the rights of the Sultan’s Christian subjects, that sov
ereign declares that if in spite of these repented assu
rances the Czar should persist in ottering war, the Porte
is resolved to accept it, but that the responsibility must
lie with Russia. It is also asserted that this document
has been communicated to the Ambassadors of France
and England.
Orders have been sent to the Hospodars of Molda
via and Wallachia, ordering them to quit the Princi
palities and retire to the right bank of the Danube.
The Egyptian fleet arrived at Constantinople, on the
19th, with 12,000 men. Admiral Dundas, of the En
glish fleet, with all his captains, had been on a rccon
noissance of the fortresses.
Another Ministerial crisis was feared at Constantino
ple.
There was a rumor in Vienna of a secret treaty be
tween the United States and the Porte and the proba
ble cession of Marmarriza. Three American frigates
were said to he in the Bosphorus.
Russia had demanded of Persia the cession of the
Province of Tauris, jn lieu of .80,000,000 roubles due
her.

The epidemic appears to continue unabated. The whole j
number of deaths for the twenty-four hours ending 6 |
o’clock this morning was 219, of which 191 were from yel- j
low fever.
’
The Mobile Tribune says : We may slate, on the
best authority, that the type of the disease is entirely
unlike that which is now prevailing in New Orleans. :
There it was marked at first, and is now, by groat mor
tality—one perhaps out of six or ten cases only being
within the reach of curative means. Here not one in ten
but does not yield to them. We know of five of our
most respectable physicians who have, perhaps, in the
aggregate, twenty cases, and there is no danger in any
of them of a fatal termination. One of these gentle
men, who has had much experience in treating the dis
lease, assures us that he has never seen it developed in
a form so mild and manageable.
It may be concluded from this that the disease, if it
assume the epidemio form, will be characterised by lit
tle mortality.

The Collision on the Providence & Worcester Railroad.
Providence, R. 1., Friday, Aug. 12—12 M.
A irighiful railroad collision took place on the Provi
dence and Worcester Railroad about eight o’clock this
morning, near Pawtucket.
It occurred between the regular up train from this city and
an excursion train irom Wieting’s. The excursion train was
out of time, and met the up train at Valley Falls.
The collision was terrific. The train coming down suf
fered mo.-t, the cars being driven together, two of them be
ing completely interlocked The engines w’ere totally de
molished.
The number of persons killed is twelve, as far as ascer
tained, and probably three times that number are seriously
injured, besides a very large number bruised and slightly
wounded. The up train received but little damage, and
no person in that train was injured to speak of.
The excursion train consisted of six long passenger cars,
densely crowded.
The collision occurred at a sharp curve, beyond Central
Falls ; the down train was behind time, and proceeding at
the rate of forty miles an hour, to reach the switch, from
which there is a double track to Providence.
In one minute the train w ould have reached the switch;
the up train w-aited the usual time at Pawtucket, and then,
having the right to the road, proceeded at a slow rate around
the curve.
The cause of the accident is said to have been owing to a
variation of two minutes in the watches of the engineers.
The greater portion of the killed and wounded belonged
to Uxbridge and Whitensville.
The following are the names of the killed:
Rev. Mr. Penny, Episcopal clergyman, officiating nt
Grace Church, Providence; Mr. Wood, of Northbridgo ;
John H. Perkins,fireman, of Uxbridge. He leaves a wife
and two children ; Mrs. Plant and Peter Plant, wife and
son of George Plant, of Whitensville ; Mrs Mallory, wife
ofS.B. Mallory, of Central Falls; A. Charlesw’orth, of
Whitensville ; Thomas Browni, do.; Wni. Fullerlove,
do.; Mrs Caroline Richmond, wife of John Richmond ,
Peter Rogers and Mr. Rogers, brothers, of Milford.
Wounded. —Francis Reed, of Whitensville ; George
Plant, do.; Hosea Ballou, Woonsocket; Edward Green,
engineer of the up train, badly—several ribs broken ; Stew
art Winslow, of Whitensville, badly ; Daniel Ganty, do.,
slightly; Martin C. Jefferson, brakeman, leg and arm
broken ; John Brown, of Whitensville, four ribs broken ;
Moses Bolton, badly; Mrs. Gladding, wife of Charles

| John Crane, do., badly bruised ; b?i.'jyler White, of do.;
Mr. Southwick, Superintendent of the road.
And others, whose names have not been ascertained yet.
The first ear of the excursion train was smashed to pieces,
the tender having been driven through it. Most, if not all,
of the passengers in this car were either badly wounded or
killed. A large number who escaped serious injury were
cut by the splinters.
The second car was not much injured, but was driven
through into the third car, about half its length ; the five
rear cars were only partially damaged. In the first passen
ger car there were only twelve or fifteen passengers, three
or four of whom were killed outright, while nearly all the
I remainder were more or less injured.
In the third car the effects of the collision were frightful
—some of the passengers were killed instantly, ana others
received serious, if not fatal injuries. The car leaped over
the second, and killed three persons who were attempting
to escape by the windows.
Later from Mexico.
By the arrival of the steamship Texas, Capt.
Place, from Vera Cruz, which place she left on the |
Bth inst, we are in receipt of news from the city of

The Diario Official notices the appearance in the
capital of Guerrero of anew epidemic, of a very
singular nature, similar to the yellow fever, which
is very destructive. It makes its appearance in a
varieiy of forms; the patients terminate
their existence by vomiting blood. Many of the
most respectable inhabitants of Guerrero have died
from it.
The cholera ha 9 entirely ceased in Vera Cruz.
The announcement of the fact is made officially.
We have a specimen of summary justice admin
istered in Mexico, which would do honor to our own

Fearful Calamity.
Seldom have we been more painfully excited than
by hearing the sad lidings leceived yesterday morn
ing, that the family of Mr. William Hall had been
thrown into irremediable sorrow by the loss of
mother and daughter, in a single moment, and in
the midst of seeming enjoyment.
During this summer, the family of Mr. Hall have
resided in the house of Col. Minge, at Point Clear;
to which they retired three or four weeks ago, in the
vain hope of restoring a sick child. After this loss,
the family still continued at the Point, where they
enjoyed the finest health, from constant bathing and
wholesome exercise. Late on the evening of
Thursday Mrs. Wm. Hall was bathing,—as was the
constant custom —with her sister-in-law, and her
own daughter, Caroline, an interesting girl about
ten years old. Tbis sweet little creature, in the
fresh enjoyment of the water and loulliful spirits
ventured a little too tiir. In an instant, maternal
affection in its selt-sacrifieing spirit, drove the
alarmed parent to the rescue of the poor child ;
but being equally unable to resist the deep wa
ter, parent and child periehed together. Who
can picture such a moment as this ! The onlv
witnc-s of the catastrophe was Mrs. Joseph
Hal!, who, equally impotent to save, could
onlv call loudly fur help! Alas lat such an hour
and"place, aid was too far, too slow for succor.—
Molherand daughter had found a watery grave
and in each other’s arms. The sad nigi t was past
in vainefl'oiis to find the bodies; and when found,
life was too thotoughly extinct for restoration.—iWo

MARRIED.
On the morning of the 7th inst. at 9 o’clock in Cuthbert,

to Miss Annie E , daughter of Col. William and Mrs. Re
becca C. James, all of the above place.
obituary.
Every day’s observation teaches us that,separations upon
earth must necessarily take place. However heart-renaing
the consequences and saddening the reality, no human
power can arrc9t the fiat of God, that reigns uncontrolled in
Heaven and Earth. We desire to acknowledge the su
premacy of infinite wisdom and bow submissively to the
will of Him who doeth all things right; yet there are cases
where the heart feels more sensibly the stroke of Providence.
Such we believe are the feelings and sentiments realized
and experienced by the aged parents, relatives and friends
in the death of Miss Sarah A. Burt, who departed this
life at her father’s residence in Columbus, on the 22d day of
April, 1853, aged 18 years 6 months and 9 days.
In the early departure of this estimable young lady, there
is clearly depietea the truth of God’s word—that life is a
span—that it is a vapor that appeareth for a little time and
then vani-heth away. Though short and transitory as the
morning flower was her career, yet she has left behind liv
ing testimonials of her cultivated mind; her devoted piety
and her enlarged benevolence. She graduated June 30th,
1852, at the Female Institute. For four years she was under
the tuition of Mr. and Mrs. Slade. Her mind was fully
developed by a rigid and thorough training in a liberal
course of education. In this Institution she was distinguish
ed by good scholarship, diligent application and a cheerful
obedience to Iter preceptors. After graduating she entered
upon the profession of teaching, and was engaged in con
ducting a school at the time of her last illn. ss.
The ruling principle of her heart was to do good. In the
school, at home and abroad, in the Church and Sabbath
school, this ennobling trait of her character was strongly
displayed. She was truly the comfort of her aged parents.
They loved her ardently and looked forward with pleasing
anricipations of the realization of their hopes in her being
the stay and support of their declining years. In view of all j
her promised usefulness, the sympathizing heart can well
imagine the anguish which pierced the parental bosom,
when all their fond hopes were blasted forever. If no light
broke forth from this sad and gloomy picture, inconsolable
would be the heans of these bereaved parents, but in her
daily walk and conversation were exhibited the strong evi
dences of a life consecrated to God.
In early life she had made a profession of religion. It
was her happy lot to realize in a high degree the spirit of
Christianity. She loved to talk of her Saviour, and in her
correspondence with relatives and friends she delighted to
record the feelings and testimonies ofa Saviour’s love spread
abroad in her heart. She was a member of the Methodist
E. Church. In this responsible station her Christian de
portment was worthy of imitation. In the Sabbath school
her ardent desire to train the young heart for the society of
Heaven was conspicuous. She was loved by her pupils,and
their attachment was only surpassed by her devotion to
promote their happiness. But amidst this usefulness and
surrounded by dear friends she was taken aw’ay—and can
we doubt that she is happy—in that unseen world, which
she sought with a believing heart ? No ! her happiness is
beyond all casualty. No corroding cares can ever annoy
that peaceful bosom. In the society of kindred spirits, she
is permitted to sing in higher strains the praises ot her God
and Redeemer.
Shall we lament her departure ; can we wish her back
amidst the trials and temptations of this unfeeling world?
No, dear parents and sisters, dry up your tears! let your
hearts swell with joy. Soon you will join your dear Sarah
and unite with her in anthems of glory to God and the
Lamb forever. A .Friend.
Teresa Anne, only daughter of Timothy Quin, of Enon,
Macon county, Ala.
The deceased: was a strict member of the Catholic Church,
and after a life of innocence and purity, when death laid
his cold hands upon her, she feared not, but rather wished
to appear before the judgment seat of God.
Although in many a neart thou hast left a blank which
may not be easily filled, still thy friends are consoled, for
we know “that thou art not dead, but sloepeth.”
Born for a brighter world, beyond the skies,
Thy young heart shrunk not at thy Master’s call;
Though ’neath the cold earth, now thy body lies,
Thy spirit dwells in Heaven’s eternal half.
