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 get Lieb to take off members front the Democratic party, and thus insure a freesoil victory, and elect John Wentworih to Mr. Douglass’ place in the Senate. Who Wentworth is the history of the House of Representatives will show. Mr. Doug las, charged the alliance, and said he could prove it if lie could make Senators witnesses. Air. Bayard, of Del., said whether Lieb is a Dan ite or not, it was not important for the country to know, in connection with the pending resolutions. He regretted exceedingly that Air. Douglas had in terposed the politics of Illinois, unless the Senator thought they were more important than subjects connected with aggressions from a foreign power. A Severeßebuke. —Senator Davis, of Mississi ppi, in reply to Douglas, who had made a flaming war speech, remarked: “That he (Davis) never belonged to the war party in time of peace, or the peace party in time of war.” _ Want to get Divorced. —There are at least two thousand people, of both sexes, from other States sojourning in Indiana and Illinois for the express purpose of getting rid of their wives and husbands. Fiom the x\ususta Constitutionalist. 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 $1,250,000 of the loan was awarded pro rata to biddets at 4J per cent., who each obtained an eighth of the amount of their bids. Thus the whole loan was disposed of at a rate of interest averaging a little above 4$ percept. — Washington Union. 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, llth inst. P. H. COLQUITT, Editor. [From the Mobile Tribune] 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.” Central Rail Road—ln the Field! —Mr. John T.
