“the UNION OF THE STATES AND THE SOVEREIGNTY OF THE STATES.’’
COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 29, 1858.
Medley from the Poets.
The moon was shining silver bright,
All bloodless lay the untrodden snow!
When freedom, from her mountain height,
Exclaimed,“Now don’t be foolish Joe!”
An hour passed on, the Turk awoke,
A bumble bee went thundering by,
To hover in the sulphur smoke,
And spread its pall upon the sky.
His echoing axe the settler swung,
He was a iad of high renown;
And deep the pearly eaves among,
Giles Scroggins courted Molly Brown.
Loud roars the wild inconstant blast,
And cloudless sets the sun at even;
When twilight dews are falling fast.
And rolls the ihuuder-drum of heaven!
Oh, ever thus from childhood’s hour,
By torch and trumpet last arrayed;
Beneath yon ivy mantled tower.
The bull frog croaks his serenade.
My love is like the red, red rose.
He bought a ring with poesy true;
Sir Barney Bodkin broke his nose,
And, Saxon, I am Rhoderiek Dhu !
From the N. Y. Journal of Commerce:
U. S- Senate—Special Session.
Washington, June 15.
Mr. Mason (Va.,) called up the resolutions here
tofore reported front the Commitle on Foreign Re
lations in regard to the question of British aggres
sions. It seemed to hint a matter of moment that
the judgment of the Senate should be passed upon
them, because of the probable bearing they may
have on any negotiation no tv pending. We have
evidence since the introduction of the resolutions,
that for some cause or other these same aggres
sions have been continued in the Gulf of Mexico
and waters adjacent by British cruisers. We have
reason to believe that the visitation and detention
of our vessels is not in consequence of any new or
ders. The probability is, they are acting without,
or from under perversion of existing authority. lie
thought when the subject was brought to the atten
tion of the British Government, site would disclaim
these acts. But the resolutions distinctly present
ed the question between the two countries, and
hence it was important that the judgment of nego
tiation.
Mr. Wade (O.) wished to inquire of Mr. Mason
whether these aggressions had not been committed
in an effort to put down the slave trade; whether
our flag has not been used to cover this trade, and,
particularly, whether there is really any difficulty
between the two governments which may not be
settled by treaty in a way honorable to all parties
concerned in preventing the slave trade, and our
flag from being used as a screen ? There seemed
to him no difficulty. While he in no manner jus
tified the British proceedings, yet he believed the
trade abhorred by both parties, who wish to pre
vent it. England could have no motive for insult
ing our flag. There is no inherent difficulty.
Mr. Mason (Va.) replied that it was an undoubt
ed fact that the British Government had been try
ing for many years to obtain from all maritime na
tions, as against the slave trade, the mutual right
of search and visitation; and has obtained it from
the principal powers of Europe, but the United
States have always denied it. He would not say
there may be no practical mode of final disposition
of the question, if Great Britain claims the right of
visit forany purpose, yet he did notseehow it could
be done.
Mr. Benjamin (La.) trusted the resolutions would
be adopted before the Senate adjourned. He bad
hoped an opportunity would have presented for
deliberate discussion, and that such measures
would be taken as would forever put a stop to the
pretensions of Great Britain. The Senator from
Ohio said he had no doubt the motives of Great
Britain were good, and that the actions of her offi
cers were laudably directed.
Mr. Wade remarked that he did not say laugh
ble.
Mr. Benjamin resumed. He had not so read
the history of the relations between this country
and Great Britain as to give her credit for sincerity
in this pretended right. Difficulties constantly oc
cur between us, because of her aggression policy.
She has but a single aim, and it is to control the
commerce of the world. Site grasps at every
ocean and point with this view. Site has for a
long series of years been endeavoring to obtain
from our Government the right of visitation, which
cannot be acceded without carrying with it, in her
favor, the supremacy of the seas. It was obvious
to all that visitation is practically the right of
search. It was admitted by all writers to be a bel
ligerent exercise, and should never be submitted to
in time of peace There had not been energy
enough in the management of our foreign relations;
not what we had a right to expect, from the tone
of the inaugural message. He trusted that some
thing definite wou'd now be done. His opinion
was that Great Britain would not surrender the
demand she has so long and persistently pursued.
Information should be given her that her preten
sions cannot longer be submitted to negotiation,
and that w-e cannot permit her to exercise the right
ot search. If she insists upon her course, then the
people of the United States should prepare for
war.
Mr. Clingman (N. C.) thought it probable that
Great Britain might excuse her proceedings by
saying that Commodore Paulding had violated for
eign territory ; seized some of ourow-n people, and
brought them away; not because they had com
mitted a felony but a misdemeanor; and, though
he violated the law, his motives were good. The
President and Committee on Foreign Relations
made an argument to this effect. The British Gov
ernment is entering our ships. Why ? Because
it wants to stop felony. Suppose we should make
complaint ? We will be told that one of our own
officers violated territory under the jurisdiction of
a foreign country, and so far from punishing, the
President commended him, and some Senators
thought lie ought to have a medal. Could Great
Britain make out a stronger case? The act of
Commodore Paulding was as plain a violation of the
Constitution and international law as could possibly
be committed. Some member of the British Par
liamem might, following the example, get up and
propose that the commander ot the Styx be pre
sented with a medal, saying his motives were good
in suppressing the felony and putting down piracy.
While gentlemen justify the violations committed
by our own offieeis they should make some excuse
for others. He believed with Mr. Benjamin, that
something ought to be done to maintain our re
spect abroad. He intended to vote for the resolu
tions, but they fell far short of what we ought to
do. The Senate, however, can now do nothing but
make a protest.
Mr. Doolittle (Wis.) wished to know what part
of the constitution and laws had been violated by
Commodore Paulding, in the arrest of Gen. Wal
ker?
Mr. Clingman replied, that clause which says no
power shall be exercised, except what is granted.
In the second place, Commodore Paulding com
mitted disobedience and violated the laws of the
United States; and in the last place, he violated
the laws of nations, by invading the territory of a
foreign power.
Mr. Doolittle joined issue most distinctly, and
could demonstrate in any court ofimpartiai judges,
that, in no respect, did Commodore Paulding vio
late the constitution or laws, or any instructions
received from the Department al Washington.—
The President is authorized, expressly, to use the
land and naval forces to prevent the carrying out
of an expedition trom the shores of the U. States,
against any friendly neutral power. The minister
of Nicaragua had returned the thanks of his gov
ernment for the taking of General Walker and his
followers. We never violated a friendly or neutral
territory. Nicaragua invited us before the Presi
dent sent in his message We never violated the
territory for hostile purposes, nor was there such
an intent. It was preposterous to say 60. Com.
Paulding only carried out his instructions, but
when a clamor was made against the Administra
tion, it did not dare lo take the responsibility of the
act. Instead of sustaining Com. Paulding, as the
Administration of Monroe did General Jackson
when he seized St. Marks, it suffers him (Pauld-
ing) to be sued in an action of trespass in the Courts
of New York, and suffers him to be arraigned sim
ply for doing his duty, in preventing Walker levy
ing war on a friendly power. With regard to the
conduct of the British, he (Doolittle) did not, from
the beginning, believe there would be war; but
that the British Government would declare that
the instructions given to its cruisers had been ex
ceeded.
Mr. Clingman that he could show that Yrissari
had no authorfy to authorize the invasion, and that
the President and Committee on Foreign Relations
had declared the act illegal. What iie complained
’of was, that instead of Commodore Paulding being
censured or punished, the Executive and Foreign
Committee made an argument in his defence.—
Therefore, the British Government can make a
stronger argument in its own defence. While they
admit that Commodore Paulding’s act was illegal,
the Senator from Wisconsin (Doolittie) proposed
to present him a medal.
Mr. Mallory (Fla ) was fully satisfied that the
British instructions of 1846 hail never been modi
fied or extended. These visitations have been
going on for ten years, but because they have been
multiplied lately, doubtless instigated by the hope
of prize money, they have attracted more general
notice than heretofore. This, however, was no
sudden impulse of the American people, and in this
connection he (Mallory) read Mr. Marcy’s letter
of 1855 to the Spanish Minister, relative to the war
vessel Ferrolana firing into the El Dorado, the for
mer asserting that it was a beligerent act, which
no nation had a right to exercise on the high seas
in time of peace. This case had a peculiar signifi
cance. Spain thus acted in her own jurisdiction,
but the United States stands pledged against the
right of search by uncompromising resistance. The
doctrine is, where the American flag floats there
foreign dominion shall not come. Our rights has
been abused. Great Britain will say she had no
idea of offending us; but at the same time will say
that if the flag is suffered to pass with impunity and
without its being verrified, the slave trade would be
carried on. We must sec that our flag is not
abused and defend it.
Mr. Douglas, of 111., did not propose to go into
this question of British outrages. He should voto
for the resolutions. The object of his rising was to
notice a telegraphic dispatch giving an account of
the proceedings of what was termed an Adminis
tration State Convention, in Springfield, in which
his public course was condemned. He proceeded
to show tiiat this was not a convention of the De
mocracy of Illinois, and said that the two persons
nominated for State officers are not and never have
been recognised as consistent Democrats. The
true Democratic convention was that held in April
last, and instead of being abused, he had been en
dorsed by it. What was this Administration con
vention? There was a man in Illinois who bolus
an office, traveling over the State, claiming that
he was authorised by the Administration to de
nounce every man as a traitor to the party who
does not approve the Lecompton Constitution.—
This man with a few bolters from the genuine con
vention, where they were voted down by twenty
to one, got up the recent squad. The federal of
fice holders were threatened with removal by the
postmaster at Chicago if tbev fail’ and to attend.—
Their object is to divide the Democracy of Illinois
and denounce him, (Mr. Douglas). He never vet
had been denounced by.a regular convention. The
bogus gathering wasgot up by Dr. Charles Lieb,
agent for the Post Office Department in Illinois*—
All knew that his history is this: When Jim Lane
and his gang were driven from Kansas in 1856,
Lieb fled to Illinois. Pretending to be a confiden
tial friend of Air. Buchanan, this Lieb was the
chief officer of the Society ol Danites, and took the
horrid oaths required, to break up the Democratic
party, under the penalty of being reviled by men,
frowned on by devils, scorned by angels, and for
saken bv God.
Mr. Bigler, of Pennsylvania, said that what the
Senator had asserted was the last thing which
would have occurred to any man’s imagination.—
He had before heard this allegation against Dr.
Lieb, and called his attention to it. Dr. Lieb sol
emnly denied ever having belonged to such an
association, and said the use of his name was with
out any authority. He was not in Kansas at the
date of its organization.
Air. Douglas replied, this compelled him to make
a contrary statement. The first time he ever saw
Lieb was in 1856, when he admitted he was the
man. The fact was susceptible of proof by hun
dreds of people in Kansas, and he has admitted it
hundreds of times. It was only an evidence of the
vileness of the man’s character if he denies that he
was the chief officer of the Danites in Kansas un
der Jim Lane. This fact was brought to the atten
tion of the Postmaster General before Lieb was
appointed, but the Postmaster General said he
promised Lieb he should have the office before
he knew it. The freesoil party in Illinois had no
hope of success in the elections except by destro> -
ing the Democracy, and an alliance was formed
between them and Lieb and his bolters.
Air. Broderick, of California, wished lo know
whether the administration rec-gnised Lieb?
Mr. Douglas replied, he did not say that the ad
ministration gave him authority. The infamy of
his acts is too gross to induce the belief that the
President or his Cabinet officers could have given
him such authority; yet he did say that if it was
not disavowed after the facts were known, they)
would become as responsible as if they had given
the authority.
Air. Broderick expressed his delight at the re
marks of Air. Douglas.
Air. Trumbull, of 111., had no disposition to in
terfere with the factions of the so called Democrat
ic party. He would not have risen had not his
colleague said the freesoil party have no hope of
success except by the alliance with Lieb and com
pany. If hiscolieague was laboring under such a
misapprehension, he would disabuse his mind.—
The Republican party intend to beat both Lieb and
the Democratic party, together or separately.—
There is no alliance between them and this man
Lieb and bis associates. The Republicans will
oppose the Lecompton Constitution, and all other
Constitutions like it, and would be happy to unite
with his colleague to do it. This Lieb had been
active against tfie Republicans, and he might he
obnoxious to the charges against him for aught he
(Trumbull) knew. The Springfield convention
had denounced the Republicans in the most abu
sive and gross language, and falsified their princi
ples. There are no allies of the Republicans.
Air. Douglas replied, the hope was that Lieb
would take off enough Democrats to elect a Re
publican legislature. This threat—“we'll beat you
at ail hazards”—reminded him of Andrew Kenne
dy, of Indiana, who asked how he, a Democrat,
was elected in a district giving four thousand whig
votes? Andy replied; “I beat four of the ablest
whigs and could have beaten four more if they had
run against me; the district was divided into four
parties, and I could have, beaten them if they had
been divided into eight.” [Laughter.] Air. Doug
las said his colleague knew well the hope was to

Tlie State Kallrondand tlie Mails.
There has been much Haiti and written in rela
tion to the policy pursued by the Superintendent
of the State road, in discontinuing the accommo
dation passenger and mail train on that road. In
reference to this matter, we have received the fol
lowing statement, in behalf of the officers of the
road, from a reliable source, which injustice to all
concerned we readily publish :
The State only gets twenty-two thousand seven
hundred and fifty dollars per annum lor the mail
service on the Western & Atlantic railroad. For
this the road is bound to carry the mail once daily,
on the cars, within the schedule time fixed by the
post office department. The road is not bound by
the contact to rnn any other train or trains; but
if it does run other trains, it agrees to carry the
mail upon it or them, if desired, without extra
charge. During the winter, there was a regular
through mail train, running in accordance with
the contract, leaving Atlanta 12: 15 P. M., and
Chattanooga 3:10 P. M. There was also another
passenger train running each way, leaving Atlanta
at 2: 10 A. M., and leaving Chattanooga about the
same time. Upon this the mail was also carried,
but without extra charge. The Nashville & Chat
tanooga railroad company took off their train, which
connected with this last train, and the mails and
passengers by this train were detained ten or
twelve hours at Chattanooga. This being the sit
uation of things, it was determined to take off the
accommodation train. And, as the express freight
train left two hours arid forty minutes later than
this last train, and as it also left at a more conven
ient hour for travelers, viz. 4:50 A.M., instead
of 2: 10 A. M.,it was determined to put passenger
cars to the express freight train, which ran through
each way daily ; audit was proposed to carry the
w-ay and distributing mails upon tiiis without ex
tra charge, as had been done upon the other ac
commodation line. But tho mail agents refused
to put the mails upon this train. If, then, the way
and distributing mails are delayed ten or twelve
hours, it is the fault of the mail agents, or post
office department, and not the road The regular
through mail train, (and for which the State alone
receives mail pay,) runs through within the sched
ule time, as heretofore. The express freight and
passenger train leaves Atlanta and Chattanooga
only two hours and forty minutes behind the train
that was taken off-the Superintendent has offered to
carry tlie mail free of charge on this, and surely he
is not to blame if the mail agents or post office de
partment will not put the mail on this train, but
prefer to wait and run it on the regular through
traiu. By slopping the accommodation train, a
saving ofabout twenty thousand dollars per annum
is made. The business of the road is as well done,
and the way travel better accommodated by tlie
express freight and passenger train than it was
with tlie train taken off. The question, then, is
narrowed down to this: Shall the Governor and
Superintendent for the purpose of pleasing the
maii agents or post office department and a few
persons on the line of the road, disregard ihe inter
ests of the road, arid of the people of the whole
State, and expend twenty thousaud dollars to car
ry a mail for which the State receives no pay, or
shall these officers look to the interest of the road— j
and the interest of the whole peopele of Georgia, to j
whom tlie road belongs—and save this twenty j
thousand dollars The Governor and Superinten- !
dent have adopted the laiter alternative.. What
wrong is there in this?
The Governor has offered to put on this extra
traiu again, if the post office department will pay
the extra expense. And the Governor and Su
perintendent have offered to carry the way and j
distributing mails free of charge, on this express
freight ami passenger train, (starting only two
hours and forty minutes alter the one taken off) if
the department will put the way and distributing
mails on it, as is done on the Macon and Western
road. What more can they do, unless they give up
the management of the road to the mail agents,
po9t< ffie department, and a few discontents on the
roadi It may be, that in attempting heretofore to j
please everybody, is one cf the reasons why the I
road has not paid more money into the State treas
ury. It may be that the Governor and Superin
tendent think a change necessary to make the road
yield to the whole people of Georgia something in
return for what they have long since paid out of
their pockets; and if so, it is but right that they
should make a change, and after a while, let the
tree be judged by its fruits. One thing is certain,
the road in the past has paid but little into the
State treasury—from recent indications it appears
that it is now doing better. Let time then test the
changes recently made on tlie road. If, hereafter,
they should be found wrong and detrimental to the
inti rests of the State, let the proper remedy be
applied. But for the present, until the result of
these changes can be fully seen and judged, the
administration of the road can hardly expect too
much, if it relies upon a generous construction ofits
aots.
am Houston and the English Holders of Mexican
Bonds.
The London Times of the Ist inst., contains
the proceedings of a public meeting of Mexican
English bond holders, which was held in London
on the 28th ofMay. At iliis meeting a series of
resolutions were unanimou.-ly adopted, among
which were the following in relation to Gen. Hous
ton’s proposition for an American protectorate of
Mexico :
Resolved, The committee having, the 26th inst.,
received a letter from Gen. Houston, of Texas.
Senator of tlie United States, enclosing the speech
with which, on the 20th uit., he introduced in the
Sen-tie the following resolution, viz : “That a se
lect committee ofseven be raised to inquire and
report to the Senate whether or not it is expedient
for the government of the United States of Ameri
ca lo declare and maintain a protectorate over the
so-called Republic of Mexico, in such form and to
such extent as shall be necessary to secure to this
Union good neighborhood, and to the people of said
country the benefit of an orderly and Weil regu
lated republican governments ;” and the same hav
ing been read and considered, at this general meet
ing of the Mexican bond holders, it was—
Resolved, That this meeting, without presuming
to give an opinion on the future destinies of Mexi
co, or on the .policy, so far as Mexico herself is con
cerned, of her either remaining an independent
Slate under her own government, or placing her
self under a protectorate of the United States of
America, desires to express its unanimous approval
of the principles of Gen. Houston’s proposal, as
set forth in the above resolution, and as explained
tn liis printed speech, so far as the Mexican bond
holders are concerned ; but with this just and very
necessary addition to the honorable Senator’s state
menl, that, as by the express terms of the bond 1
as well as by the law of October 14, 1850, article
two, paragraph three, not only the hypothecated
duties, but the entire revenue of the Republic are
absolu ely pledged and mortgaged for the English
public dept of Mexico, and deficiency of the pro
duce of tlie duties specially hypothecated to pro
vide for the current dividend, and for all arrears
of interest must be made good out of the general
revenue of the Republic, whether Mexico contin
ues an independent State or seeks repose under
the protectorate of the United States of America;
and that this meeting request their chairman, Da
vid Robertson, Esq., to convey the present resolu
tion to Gen. Houston, and to communicate with
him generally on the subject in reply to his let
ter.
The Last Treasury Notes. —Tlie advertisement
for four millions ot treasury notes, wh'ch resulted
in the bids which were opened on Monday, pro
duced an offer of $28,635,000, or more than seven
times the amount demanded! The minimum
amount ot interest proposed for, by the contestants
for the loan, was percent; the rnaxium, 6 per
cent. The amount of the offer, at 4£ percent., was
$2,750,000, which amount was of course awarded
at that rate. The remaining $1,250,000 of the
loan was awarded pro rata to biddets at 4J per
cent., who each obtained an eighth of the amount
of their bids. Thus the whole loan was disposed
of at a rate of interest averaging a little above 4$

Speecli of Gen. Walker on Iris Trial.
At the recent trial of Gen. Walker for violating
the neutrality laws, the jury failed to agree—two
for conviction and ten for acquittal. The United
States District Attorney subsequently dismissed
the ease. The following is the speech of Gen.
Walker at theem. 1;
Gentlemen of the Jury : I have been arraigned
before you by the mighty arm of the United States,
charged in the indictment with having been gudty
of a high misdemeanor, which, if by your verdict
you find me guilty of, will subject me to two years’
imprisonment, and to a fine of S2OOO. There is
something dearer to me than liberty or money—it
is honor! Gntiemen of the Jury, the charge
made by the United States, if it could be brought
home, would make me, in my own eyes, infamous,
and 1 should feel as if I could no longer walk the
earth and look men in the face. Not an overt act,
not the raising of a single dollar, can be brought
home to me, nor either the intent, for I feel that if
I had organized a force in the United States, and
proceeded to Nicaragua, I would have been dis
honored.
Twice on bended knee, and in the presence of
that M iker before whom I one day expect to be
judged—l repeat, twice on bended knee have 1
sworn to defend the rights and interest of Nicara
gua. The presiding Judge had declared in his
charge to the United States Grand Jury that the
crime with which I stood charged was tantamount
to piracy. Gentlemen, 1 trace my blood loan hon
orable source ; not only a soldier myself, but de
cended from a soldier. Tite charge, if true, would
not only make corruption in rny blood, but would
flow back and stigmatize those from whom I am
sprung. Shall I tell you of my grand-farther, who,
when a youth of nineteen, buckled on his sword,
hurried to the field of battle, and fought tor the
independence of this, your country, and that I,
with his blood running in my veins, ant now char
ged with an offence piratical in its nature? Gen- j
tleinen, all I am, and all I hope to be in future, rest j
in the decision which you shall give, aud whether
I shall go forth without blot or blemish, or with
shame and dishonor. The U. Stares brought me
by force from the place of my adoption, deprived
me of my little property and political position, and
am I now to be deprived ot rny honor? Will the
Government not to be satisfied with using the brute
arm offeree, but must also attempt lo make me
dishonorable for al! time? It is not only I who
am on trial here; it is also the Judge, the witness,
and the people of fifteen States. Have I not de
clared that I intended to go back to Nicaragua?—
Some of vou know that almost, the first words I
uttered after landing in your city, were, that I was
determined to return to Nicaragua as soon as I
could do so, and assert my claims, both civil and
political. Have I not proclaimed it throughout the
land, before assembled thousands in your city;
along the banks of the Alississippi, and aye ! even
upon the Potomoc ?
[The Court here interposed, and stated to Gen-
Waiker that it would not allow him to make any
reflections upon'he Government or the Court.—
Mr. Soule rose and made an explanation, remark
ing that he feared the Court had mistaken the drift
of the General’s remarks. The Court replied that
the tone of the prisoner was inclined to be invec
tive, and that could not be allowed, Gen. Walker,
turning to Judge Can:pbel , remarked that any dis
respect shown to the Court by tune or manner on
liis part was entirely unintentional. Tite Court
then told the General to proceed.]
I was going to sav, that it was not the habit of
persons who intended to disregard the laws of the
land to proclaim it throughout the land. 1 harbor
ed no guilt in my bosom, I did not intend to sup
plicate the thousands whom I addressed, or make
them disregard their country’s laws, by giving me
their approbation, which approbation the District
Attorney has told you, by the letter of the law, is a
Clime; artd{| let me tell you, gentlemen, if it be a
crime, then tite country from the Potomac to the
Rio Grande is swaming with criminals, and who
shall escape? I had expected to prove by a wit
ness, certain facts, which the Court ruled would be
taken as matters of history, It is said that. I inva
ded Nicaragua. [Read the letter of Alarcy to
Wheeler.] The United States, by the reception of
Padre Vigil, acknowledged the tact that I was no
invader. 1 never was nor meant to. be and have,
studiously'observed the laws of the United States.
It was admitted that I was acknowledged as Presi
dent of Nicaragua, anti acknowledged as such by
Wheeler—and from that to the day of my leaving
Alobile last, the District Attorney cannot show any
other Presii'ent. It is notorious that the four other
States, aided by the United States, drove me from
Nicaragua. It is notorious'that two military chiefs
assumed the power, but not the Government, It
is notorious that Yrissari received his commission
from Rivas in August, 1856 ; and from then to the
17th day ot November, 1857, he remained in Wash
ington, asking to be received, but was not. The
double headed Government, as it was termed, was
never recognized by the United States. Rivas
who sent him, was long since defunct and had gone
to England. I ask you, gentlemen, how am I to
be convicted of violating the laws, when it is pub
licly known that the United States did not recog
nize Yrissarri until a lew days after 1 was at sea,
and he only then being the representative ol a
Governrneut some twelve months defunct ? This
case differs from any winch has ever been presen
ted. Has there been any refusal on the part of
my officers to answer any questions put by the
District Attorney ? Has he been prevented from
sounding them to the very core ? and could they,
who were in daily communion with me, have es
caped hearing any sentiments which I should ex
press ! C .uld I have concealed from them any
criminal feeling which might have existed in my
bosom? It could not be. Has the District Attor
ney succeeded in fixing any blame upon me? The
United States has taken the advantage of the law
to prevent the eliciting of testimony. Compare the
testimony of Captain Fayssoux with t hat ot the
Government officer, Captain Chatard, if it were not
an insult tothe former to be compared with the lat
ter, except by contrast, and see the result. Ail
our witnesses told you they had homes in Nicara
gua, and that they had submitted to every trial,
privation and peril to build up tor themselves habi
tations in the tropics; and they are now to be told
by your verdict, “You are forever to be kept with
in the boundary of the United States, and never
regain what richly belongs to you in Nicatagua.
Columbus.
We were in Columbus, on Monday last, and
found the place unusually dull in a business way,
but in the midst of a religions awakening, the like
of which was never known before Churches
crowded every day and night and nothing else
hardly talked ol but the revjvai in progress. Over
300 additions, we learn have b< en made to the va
rious churches and the interest suffers no de
crease.
While there we saw the new military company,
the Greys, out on parade. The company is com
posed of youths from 14 to 18 years of age. and is
commanded by Capt. Andrews. Their appearance
was very tine and their evolutions would have
done credit to a veteran corps.
We also had the pleasure of examining anew
Cotton Gin recently invented by J. T. Brown,
Esq., the foreman of the establishment of Clemons,
Brown & Cos. This Gin is composed of two rollers
ami two setsofsaws one above tlie other, whereby
a hundred saw gin can be compassed in the space
usually taken up bv one of 50 saws, and a saving
of 25 percent is effected itt the power, over a hun
dred saw gin of the old style, besides doing butter
work and requiring only one feeder. Mr. Brown
has entered a caveat preparatory to taking out a
patent for an improvement which is destined to
supercede the old clumsy gins of 80 or 100 saws.
The large planters who have seen it, are delighted
with the invention.— Geo. Citizen.
Wheat.— Although wheat iu this section looked
well before cutting, there is reason to bet eve that
the yield will be a poor one. We learn from some
of our citizens who have had their wheat thrashed,
that it yields less than half th quantity produced
j upon the same land last year. —Athens Watchman,

Cotton Spilling—Mr. Henry’s Invention.
A correspondent of the Richmond Enquirer has
in possession a specimen of the “riving,” or drawn
cotton as it came from Air. Henry s Machinery
now at work on the plantation of Air. George S.
Ye ger, of Alississippi, which has the fibre in per
fect preservation, and it) its texture is “almost as
j soft and elastic as floss silk.” It is said that here
j totbre the cotton, when brought to this stage by
the best Machinery, either of Europe ot America
has the fibra invariably damaged by the operation.
Mr. Henry writes with much confidence as to
the success of his experiment. The following is
his statement of the force required to work his
machinery for spinning Air. Yerger’s crop of 450
bales;
“I—One old man 65 years old at the “gin and lap.’’
I—One man (maimed, forefinger off) at “cards.”
1— One old man 60 years old. at “drawing.”
2 One boy 10 and one girl 12 years old, as “speeders.”
6—Tltree boys 7 to 9, and 3 girls and boys 10 years old,
“spinning ”
6—Six women aud girls to the reels; but one a good field
hand and she a girl ot 11 years old.
17—all told
These bands do the ginning,'grinding the meal for all the
force on the plantation, and crush all the ear corn for the
mules, horses and oxen, as t cell as spin up the 450 bales
of cotton.
On this plantation there were four Men engaged
in the operation of ginning alone, to say nothing of
that of baling, &c.—with a steam-engine consum
ing three c6rds of wood a day. Air. Henry ex
pects to use only one cord and a half per day for
liis w hole process. If there is no mistake in the
above calculations, he is in a fair way of lulfiling
what he set out to accomplish—the turning of the
cotton into yarns at the same expense heretofore
required to gin it.
It appears, too, that Air. Henry’s invention wiil
effect a great saving, not only for the cotton-plant
er, but the cotton-weaver. Toe Boston Traveler
slates that, in a recent suit at Lowell, the agent of
the Suffolk Corporation testified that, within two
or three years past, nearly seventy tons of cotton
waste had found its way to different junkshops and
peddlers in Boston, taken from the corporations at
a loss of nearly $38,000. He also stated that the
w hole loss in weaving amounts to about 20 per
r-nt.—a great part of which is attributed to the
wa te taken in different ways from the mills.
Upon the whole, unless there should prove lo be
come gieat defect in the calculations made, and
already partly verrified by experiment, Air. Hen
sy’s invention promises to be not less an era in the
progress of the cotton interest than was that of
Whitney. \
Cotton—We take the following from the cir
cular of Messrs. Neill, Bros. Si. Cos., per America:
Supply and Consumption. — The following ap
pears the most reliable estimate of the supply and
consumption of American cotton lill 21st Decem
ber next, with the stock in Great Britain at that
date.
Should the present crop reach 3,100,000 bales,
Great Briiatn will, probably get 1,175,000
The Continent 750,000
American spinners 550,000
And there will be added lo stock in
port 50.000
3,100,000
Great Britian has received of the above
1,750,000 bales—Before Ist Jan
uaiv last,.., 188,000
And since then till 28 Alay. ...1,617,424 1,205,424
Still to receive after 28th Alay 544 576
Stock in Liverpool 28tli Alay 555,540
Add probable rec’pts of new cotton before
31st December 150,000
Total supply 1,250,116
Consumption, 28 It Alay till 31st D c.
31 weeks, at 31,000 961 000
Export estimated 128,000 —7,089,000
Slock remaining at Liverpool 31st De
cember next 169,000
Against 31st Dec. last 190,000
As the supply of East India cotton is estimated
to fall 200,000 to 250,000 bales short of last year,
and the low grades of American must be used in
its place, we think the estimates of consumption
and export are within the mark ; and the demand
tints caused for the low grapes, together with an
increased demand from the continent f r the high
qualities, will limit the available quantity of the two
extremes of classifications. At the same time, the
supply of the middle grades out of the present crop
lias at no time been large, and any excess of them
is not to be calculated upon.
In view, then, of the prospective supply and de
mand in Europe, and the rapid reduction now tak
ing place in our receipts, and stock, and the scarci
ty of anything but low, stained, or trashy cottons
remaining in our ports, we would recommend our
friends to take advantage of the present ample
stock at Liverpool ra’her than to reiy further on
the American markets. Dull as they now are. we
already experience the greatest difficulty in find
ing qualities desirable for spinning.
Elizabeth Bowlegs and her Intended.
An item of gossip has lately been going the
rounds of the press, to the effect that Billy Bow
leg’s daughter is soon to be married to a yonng
New Yorker, whom she met during her recent vis
it to New Orleans. As many interested persons
are doubtless anxious to know who the lucky in
dividual is, it may be a relief to them to know that
the gentleman alluded to is no less a person than
the New Orleans correspondent of Harper’s Week
ly—though the facts of the case differ materially
from the current report.
It appears from the gentleman’s own statement,
that he lias been busily engaged in obtaining the
history of the Seminole chief, together with the
photographic likeness of sundry members of bis
family, and sketches of their adventures in the
Crescent city, for publication in Harper—all of
which lie successfully accomplished. Os course
Ins intercourse with the Bowlegs family was ne
cessarily somewhat intimate. But let the gentle
man explain. He says:
‘‘My ooject was attained; but in the meanwhile
rnv zealous devotion to his Majesty of the Ever
glades bad exposed me to no little misapprehen
sion on the part of my friends. This is a censo
rious world, very loth to believe in disinterested
attachments of any sort. A plausible motive for
tny proceedings was easily suggested.
“Billy, ns 1 have said, ts no beggarly German
prince,"without money to support h s hereditary
dig. j tv. He lias, moreover, a marriageable daugh
ter, whom, it was currently reported, he was anx
ious to bestow upon some‘while brother’ with a
comfortable dowry often thousand dollars in hard
cash, besides‘expectations’for the future. It was
reported that I was to he the happy man. I was
overwhelmed with congratulations, pronounced a
lucky fellow, and forced to‘stand’ coctails and ju
les without number.
“It is due to all parties that the matter should be
properly represented. It is true, then, that King
Billey did me the honor to propose alliance be
tween myself and his’eldest daughter. ‘Betsey’
he said ‘good squaw—never married—you have
her—come with me—l make you great chief
next after me,’ I was forced to decline this flat
tering offer for private reasons, which 1 am not at
liberty to explain at present. Suffice it to say that
they were perfectly satisfatory lo his majesty, who
was graciously pleased to present me, in token of
his profound consideration, with hi* own royal au
tograph, a sac smile of which I send you.”
