FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 24.
Return of Mr. Forsyth, Minister to
Mexico.
A goodfeeal of speculation has appeared in the
pub'ic press, for tl.e last two months, in relation to
ihe return of our Mexican Minister to the Bulled
Slates, and the causes and circumstsnces of his
withdrawal Iroin the Mexican Court. It has been
sometimes asserted, that his recognition of the
Zaioaoa Government of Mexico, was disapproved
by the President ol the U. S. and that he was re
called on that account. It has again been said
that, having himrelf suspended his diplomatic re
lations with the Mexican authorities, his conduct
had not met the approval of ins own Government,
and that he was ordered home, in consequence.
We hare it in our power, from an authentic Bouree,
to contradict both siatements. The recognition
of the authority aud Government ol Zuloaga.as
President ot Mexico, by Mr. Forsyth, was ap
proved by lire Administration at Washington,
aud ihit Government was recognized by our own
in all the forms of diplomatic intercourse. Nor
ha- the conduct of Mr. Forsyth, in protesting
against the forced loan imposed by Zuloaga upon
Ani rican citizens resident in Mexico,and the sus
i pension of his ministerial functions by him, in con
sequence of the arbitraiy and tyrannical enforce
ment of that and cree, been either condemned, dis
avowed or disapproved by the President of the U.
S. On the contrary, Mr. Forsyth’s conduct has
been approved by our Government, and he has
been directed to speak to the Mexican authorities
the determination of the United Slates to protect
its citizens against the unjust, illegal and arbitrary
exactions of Mexico. Intending a national vessel
tocoDduct Mr. Forsyth to the United States, our
Government ha- given a public manifestation of
its regard for the firm and truly American conduct
of our Minister under the critical circumstances in
which he was placed. It is true that many persons
both rn the United States and Mexico, believe and
assert that lliis“approbation” and this ship ot war
are all sham—a clever piece of diplomatic finesse,
to recall an unacceptable Minister without giving
him and his iriends offence. Why, they ask, it
ihe United States Government is really, cflended
with Mexico, and is determined so take effective
measures oi redress ; why was net our Minister
instructed to present an ultimatum and then with
draw, if it failed i Aud why withdraw its legation
from Mexico and yet permit the Mexican Minis
ter, Gen. Robles, to remain at Washington ! Why
does it not send him home at the same lime it re
calls ourown Minister?
We confess that there is something mysterious
in the action of our Government in this matter;
nevertheless, we cannot suppose that the Admin
istration has resorted to a trick to get rid of a
Minister who, if distasteful to it in any respect,
ought to have been recalled in an open and man
ly manner. We shall be very slow to believe that
Mr. Buchanan, or Gen. Cass, has lent himself to
an intrigue to make Mr. Forsyth a victim to the
malevolence and spite of other parlies. We”
know that it has been currently reported, for more
than a year,that certain parties, high in the esti
mation and confidence of the P esident, have been
moving heaven and errth to obtain the recall and
disarace of Mr. Forsyth. They Irava had and,
p-ihaps, yet have important ends to effect in
Mexico, and may not have found the present
Minister as pliant to their purposes as was neces
sary or desirable. It was natural that they should
be anxious for a change and the substitution of one
more manageable and favorable to their views. If
these things bs so, (for“ which, however, we do
not vouch—we only give the current rumors of
the day,) doubtless, efforts, and it may be repeat
ed and constant efforts have been made to preju
dice Mr. Buchanan against Mr. Forsy h and
induce the President to remove him and fill the
vacancy with a Minister whu may be more com
pliant to their will. At present, however, we have
no reason to believe that ti e President has been
influenced by any such unworthy molive in recall
ing Mr. Forsyth. We feel confident that the
step taken, whilst it deprives the United States of
tire services ot an able, honest and faithful repre
sentative, was deemed necessary to vindicate the
rights and honor and promote the interests of the
country.
We are informed, irom reliable authority, that
Mr. Forsyth will return to the United States in
October,and that his numerous friends, in this
cily, will have the pleasure of giving him a hearty
welcome in a eommunky of which he was once
The Cotton Crop.
The Senior editor of the Montgomery Mail, who
is now rusticating in Macon county, Ala., for the
benefit of his health, in writing to his paper from
Tuskegce, say?:—"Planters who come in from
the surrounding country, toil me that the crops of
the county—the cotton crop, I mean—is on the
whole a good deal better than last year’s. It is
not, however, a full one. The stormy rains of
the last day or two will, 1 suppose, materially dam
age all the open cotton, of which there is a vast
quantity, though planters are pushing to get out
and crowd it to market as much as early as pos
sible. “Twelve cents” is the cry!”
Health of Columbus.
There are few cities in the Union ofrhe size of
Columbus, that one so free from disease and sick
ness. VVe have taken seme pains ro ascertain the
number of deaths in this city during the present
uuhealthy period from our Sexton, Mr. Nix, with
a view oi speaking ex,cathedra upon this subject.
The record shows that during the entire month
of July, there were only six interments among the
whites and two among the blacks. In Aug. there
were eight deaths among the whites and four among
the blacks. During the present month, which is
near closed, only four deaths have occuried among
the whites and six among the blacks.
Recapiiulaiing then ; there has been during the
months of fuly, August and Sepiember—the most
unhealthy season of every year—only thirty inter
ments, all told, in Columbus. Taking into con
sideration that the population ofthe City rs between
nine and ten thousand inhabitants, that more than
half the deaths a:e confined to children, that the
heat of the summer has been almost intolerable
and we think we present an extraordinary show
ing of a heathy city.

Our telegraphic column contains the announce-*

however, by the wonders of the mighty deep, is
not at all remarkable. Such, we are sure, would
be our conduct under the same circumstances.
In his fpeecli delivered at Bellville, Illinois, on
the 10ih inst., Judge Douglas, speaking of the in
evitable expansion of the Union,said: “When we
get Cuba, (and get it we must, sooner or later,) I
am willing to allow her people to say whether
they will have slavery or not; and J have no
doubt what their decision will be, since they will
never turn loose a million free negroes to deso
late that beautiful island “

on board the Niagara, to be delivered in Liberia,

well pleased with their manner of transportation
from the Clinch to the Niagara, and also with

Education.
A number of our cotemporaries have re
vived this subject, and are laboring assid
ously to excite public interest in it. Ii is
astonishing how much wind work is re
quired belore any great measure of public
utility can be brought to a practical deter
mination at the South. The press and a
tew patriotic men,in our state have, for j eats,
striven to impress the minds ofthe people
and their legislators with the importance ol
some more extended and useful system of j
education, and yet, nothing has been done.
Teachers’ Associations have been formed,
convened a lew times, and died out, with
out accomplishing anything. The State
Legislature has had the matter under con- :
sideration for years without coming to any
definite conclusion. Y’et there i- not a man
or woman of ordinary intelligence in the
country, but recoguides the advantages that
would accrue to our section, socially, mor
al! and politically, from a more general dis
semination of knowledge. Argument upon
this subject is wasted—none is needed to
convince the people of a self-evident truih,
and the only question that can arise, it seems
to us, is, what plan of education can be
made practicable that will prove most effi
cacious for general good. We have no sug
gestion to make ourself, but have copied an
ariicle upon the subject from the Columbus
Times, whose editor favors a State Univer
tional wants ot tne times. * ‘
What we most deplore, in connection
with this subject, (and indeed with all sub
jects of great public utility,) is the necessity
for so much talking and writing in advance
of any action by either the people or their
legislators. It is fair to infer, that wbat any
other people have done, our people can do.
In other sections of the country there are
facilities for popular education far superior
to any thing at the South, and it is a dis
paraging reflection’ that we should linger
behind in the high and holy work. There
has already been too much time consumed
in discussing plans, in reiterating argu
ments, in speculating upon effects. Action
is what we need. Perhaps it would be
well for the Governor to invite the opinions
of some of our most eminent teachers and
scholars as to the most feasible plan for ac
complishing a system of general education
throughout the State, those opinions to be
embodied in a report to the next Legisla
ture, with a request for its immediate con
sideration of the same, preparatory to def
inite action. We throw out the suggestion I
for what it is worth. —Griffin Independent j

Mr. Douglas replied as follows which is

“I answer emphatically, as Mr. Lincoln

the people of a territory can, by lawful
means, exclude slavery from their limits

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 25,
Things about Town.
Our reporter visited evety part of the city yes
teiday for news, so anxious was he to have au ar
ticle that would interest our city readers. He
complains bitterly of our long editorials upon poli
ties or abstruse questions,and says they are never
read except by men who have nothing else to do—
that business folks like light articles, that wil!
please tile tancy, and short ones at that- We are
not disposed to disregard the words of our friend,
and promise our readers to keep a watch-oat for
every item of local news, that will interest them
or gain a subscriber, without descending to matters
unworthy the dignity ol a respectable Journal.
Yesterday was a groat day for wagons loaded
witii cotton and* produce. ladeed, so far as the
appearance ol business is concerned it was the
day of the season. Broad street was jammed
with wagons, and while the receipts ot cotton
might be lighter than at former periods, we are
sure our merchants, grocery-men and bank-men
were well pleased with the profits of the day. Ihe
termer’s debts are always postponed until thoir
cotton is sold, when they lay in a supply of groce
ries, et cet. Now is the looked-for time and many
a long lace has been changed as by a magicians
wand into a gladsome and merry countenance.
Still all are not happy. The extravagant youth
finds the constable close at his heels and the too
liberal provider is dunned at every corner by
troublesome lawyers. Upon the whole, however,
money matters are easy and everybody is getting
on at a respectable rate.
The river continues low and as a mattet ol
course our boats are tied up. 7 his state ot things
causes much cotton to come to Columbus, that
would otherwise go to Apalachicola, while it re
tards its shipment- We heard yesterday oi farm
ers from the lower part of Stewart aud near
Florence making this city their market. This may
arise from the good bargains, which they are able
to m ke in purchasing their winter supply ot ar
ticles, or the price offered for their cotton.
The Eagle and Howard Factories are in op
eration, notwithstanding the low water, and are
doing a heavy business. The Coweta Fails I ac
tory, which has been closed tor some years, is now
being refitted and will soon be ready for operation.
The Carter Factory has never been used for the
purpose of manufacturing goods. 7 hough rearing
up six or seven stories high, it is used solely as a
rope manufactory. The Gin Factories, Iron
Foundries, and Variety works are all in opera
tion with prospects of success.
The pine blights are still observed in the groves
near the city. It has been suggested, if the trees
were ihined out it would be beneficial.
Our reporter still has faith in the completion of
the new bridge by the good people in the upper
part of the city. He thinks the merchants and
warehousemen know their interest too well to be
indifferent about it and not finish it. It is now,
we believe, the most plsaaant promenading ground
in the city, and a place where the young and old
congregate in the afternoon.
The weather is mild and delightful, and with
the exception ol the dust, we are well satisfied.
Death of Dred Scott.
This distinguished colored individual departed
this life at St. Louis, Mo, on the 17th inst. For
the last lour years he has enjoyed a notoriety
unequaled, perhaps by any number of his race-
His demand of, and effort to obtain his freedom,
formed the subject of that great deci-ion by the
| Supreme Court of the United States, v\ hich declar
ed the political equality of the South, and the
North, and their equal right to enjoy with their
peculiar pi operty, the territories of the Union—re
pudiating the doctrino of “squatter sovereignly”
| or the power of a territorial legislature to affect
I the slaveholder in his right of property or in the
i security of its enjoyment. For this judicial guar
| ante©, although fanaticism is oot likely to regard
j it, we are indebted to the case ot Dred Scott. We
i are, therefore, glad that lie has lived.
Yellow Fever.
The yellow fever has been in progress in New
j Orleans for twelve weeks. During that time the
1 report of the Sexton shows that 4,583 deaths oc
j curred, of this number 2,669 (resulted from yellow 7
i fever. From the first week of the lever to the pres
! ent, it has increased. For the week ending Sept,
j 19th, there were 474 deaths, the largest number re
| corded during the summer,. JibMfi&'tfdHiriSe ffie
I commencement of the fever. In Charleston there
were 103 deaths week belore last of the disease,
and 128 last week. Savannah has only suffered
from the epidemic for a week or ten days. Last
week, there were forty deaths in Savannah, twen
ty of which died of yellow fever. During tha
present week the disease has abated, if it has not
disappeared altogether. Galveston has been also
a victim to this terrible epidemic.
Interments for the Week.
The official report, says the Savannah Sews, of
the Board of Health of the interments for the
week ending on Tuesday evening, the 21st inst.,
will be found in another column. It shows an
increase of five over the report of last week, in
cluding 20 deaths by yellow fever. YVe have
before staled that ihe verv bad weather previous to
Wednesdy, the 15th inst., had been productive of
much sickness- Most of tiie deaths recorded in
the present report are of persons who were at
| tacked during the previons week For several
| days past we have heard of very few new cases of
j fever, and if the present favorabie weather contin
ues wo Ehail confidently expect a still greater
i abatement of the sickness and mortality.
On Tuesday there weresix interment in the two
: cemeteries—only one death being from yellow
■ fever. On yesterday there were five interments in
Laurel Grove Cemetery—three whites and two
black children—and one in the Cathedral Ceme
tery, none of which were from yellow fever.

i Tift, has just concluded a contract with Dr. A. J.
Robinson, of Columbus, for the erection of a first
class Bridge to span Flint River at the foot of
Broad street in this city. Horace King, the cele
brated bridge builder, will superintend the work
The covered lattice portion of the Bridge will be
350 feet long, resting on three piers,
to be subsequently filled with masonry, and will
be about 40 feet above high water. The trestle
; bridging will be about 530 feet long, making a to-
I tal length of 930 feet. If no unforeseen occurrence
should prevent, the Bridge will be opened for
crossing on the Rrst of December, and will be
completed !?y the first day of February next.— Al’

was cut off in the new County of Mitchell.
The democracy would have no one else than
Hon Alfred 11. Colquitt, ex.member of Congress
from this District. Though retired from public
life—having declined a re-election to Congress
after a splendid victory—and living in quiet upon
his farm, his services were called into requisition by
his oid constituents in o flattering a manner that
he could not ignore heir wishes. Bosides the har
mony restored and reconciliation of conflicting
claims effected in the Democratic ranks by the use
of his name, Maj. Colquitt could not be unmind

MONDAY, S-PTEMBER 27
The Legislature-
The Legislature of Georgia convenes in five or -
six weeks. There are many questions, which will
be brought before that body ot great interest to the
people. It is right that we should speak of them
that they may have a voice in the matter. The
first question that will require legislative action is
that of granting aid to Railroads Ihe friends oi
this policy do uot ask a loan oi the State s money ,
but its credit. They say the State is developing
her resources without any danger ot loss that the
and ffererit roads asking assistance secure the State
in granting its credit—that it is a false economy to
hold down the doors ofthe Treasury for an enter
prise so worthy the consideration of Georgians. It
would seem that a Legislator was unmindful ofthe
interest of the people to refuse his vote -for
ihe endorsement of the bonds of ‘a Railroad
by the State, when the whole road is mort
gaged to secure it against loss and protect its
credit. But these are points that require the closest
examination and study. Will not the road in
the event of a iailure be thrown back upon the
State and will it pay ? Is not the whole question
attendant with difficulties that may prostrate the
State’s credit! How discriminate between the
claims otthe numerous roads applying lor aid 1—
Will not a road be built by private enterprise,
where it is actually wantod aud where it will be
profitable ! These and kindred questions will arise
which require mature deliberation and reflection
on the part ofthe Legislator to decide in a manner
that time will approve.
Another question is looked ovo- by the Leg-
islature in its hurry to pass a lew local bills.
It is the re-organization ofthe Supreme Court. —
This is recommended at every session, but a few
old fogy members are always opposed to a change.
They forget that the bill organizing that tribunal
was passed with great difficulty, and is not perfect.
They forget that they opposed so wise a measure
as the granting of a Charter simply to build tho
Central road—that their notions of change and the
progress of the age are widely apart as the poles—
Notwithstanding this element of opposition in the
Legislature, we believe that the Supreme Court
will hereafter by legislative enactment sit at only
one place and this itinerant, saddie-bag system,
so unfair for the Judges wil! be abolished. We
mean by no means to cast censure in these remarks
upon the two Judges, whose decision upon the
Bank question has lately been submitted to and in
terpreted by the people. Allowing lor others an
honest difference of opinion, we say for ourselves
as far as we have been enabled to understand the
question, the law has been decided as it is written
and does not overrule a former decision. The equi
ty or justice of it is altogether another question.
But ihe Court should be re organized and that too
by the present Legislature.
We have given our views upon the subject of
University education. We will not repeat them,
fieieafter we will pursue this subject and discuss
the propriety of the passage of such measures as
we think important to ihe interest ofthe people.
The East India Company,—Deposed.
The first day ofthe present month was signaliz
ed in Great Britain by the forma! resumption on
the part of that Government of the power which,
fora long period of lime, had been committed in
trust, or for plunder, to the East India Company.
For more than a century and a half, this band ol
robbers have been invested wilh the forms and
essence of Sovereignty, and have exerted the pre
rogative of absolute dominion in wasting the sub
stance and crushing the energies of that benighted
people. Once, in the history of their crimes, their
severe and intolerable exactions alarmed the tears
and disturbed the conscience of even British cu
pidity. Once,
“The loudciy of trampled Hindostan
Arose to heaven, ia her appeal to man.”
In tile year 1787, Edmund Buike, who had de
voted long years to the investigation of English
oppressions in India, and whose great heart did
ever beat iu unison with the pulsa ions of human
freedom, came forward iu the British Commons
for the impeachment of Warren Hastings. That
functionary was, then .Governor-General oflndia,
and his terrible exactions had become a reproach
to the English name. Assisted by the genius oi
Sheridan, Mr. Butke succeeded before the House
ol Commons—hut failed on the trial before the
House of Lords, aud India was left to suffer from
the rapacity oi her uaurino.inled rnfors. From that
uay until two years past, their extortionate de
mands have beon endured with various degrees of
discontent, when tho volcano, whose wrath had
long been suppressed, hurst forth in the recent re
bellion. It is an admirable and beneficent ar
rangement ia the order of Providence, that, when
a sense of justice imposes no restraint upon the
inordinate demands of power, the philosophy of
self-interest compels some regard to right with a
force of logic which may not be resisted. Tha
fortunes ot the recent war in British India—the
enormous expense at which it has been maintain
ed, have, doubtless, conducted the Government of
Great Britain to the conclusion that its adminis
tration in that distant dependency was not so pa
ternal as it might have been, and that some re
spect to the rights of the governed must be observ
ed, in order to preserve the integrity of itsempi’ft.
Accordingly, that hoary despot—the East India
Company—lias been dethroned, and degraded from
a sovereign to a mere trader. Its reign will not
soon be forgotten ; for the dark impression of its
ravages will endure for ages on the fortunes ot the
Hindoo. Henceforth its lights, powers and titles
are the possession ofthe Crown of Great Britain,
and nothing remains, to tell ol its former great
ness, but a history of revolting crime
