‘Memphis Convention. We learn by telegraph that the Southern and Western Convention assembled at Mem phis, Tennessee, on the Cth Inst. Judge D: Ar son, of Georgia, was re-elected president, to gether with twenty vice presidents; and the Rev. C. K. Marshall was appointed Secretary. The organization being completed, the conven tion adjourned till four o’clock in the after noon. A thousand delegates were present from fifteen States. In the evening session but little was done besides appointing committees. SECOND DAY. Memphis, June 7. —The convention re-assem bled this morning. The Committee on Reso lutions, consisting of two from each State, re tired. * Judge Moore, of Arkansas, offered a resolu tion relative to the construction of a railroad front the Mississippi to the Pacific as a practi cable means of allowing to the Southern and Western States a share of commerce, and de claring that Congress has the power to grant ’ lands to aid said road. The resolution was referred to the committee. Bishop Otey offered a resolution relative to the free navigation of the Amazon river. The committee then returned, and offered a resolution urging the speedy improvement of the navigation of the South Mississippi by deep ening the channel, and also recommending the “"deepening of the harbors of Charleston, Sa vannah, Mobile and Richmond. On other sub jects the committee asked for further time; hnd the convention adjourned till 4 p. m. At the evening session, General Quitman of fered a resolution proposing to divide the reso lution of the committee relative to the improve ment of the mouth of the Mississippi and the Upper Rapids, which caused an animated dis fcilssion, and was- finally lost by a vote of uine States to four. The committee’s resolution was tneb almost unanimously adopted. Mr. Merrill offered a resolution in favor of a general and liberal system of public education among the Southern and Western States. Mr. Kaiser moved tiie establishment of a Bureau of Statistics among the several South ern and Western States. The Committee on Resolutions not being prepared with further reports, the convention adjourned till morning. THIRD DAY. Memphis, June 8. —The committee to-day feported resolutions in favor of direct trade, the Pacific iailroad, the Tehuantepec route, manufactures, education, and steamers from southern ports; and an address to Congress concerning the free navigation of the Oronoeo, l a Platte and Amazon rivers, were also pre sented. The following are tlie resolutions regarding the Pacific railroad : Ist. li'solved, That a railroad from the Mis sissippi to the Pacific, is demanded, not only by commercial and individual interests, but also l<y the interests of the whole nation. 2d .Resolved, That so soon as the surveys recently orde-ed by Congress shall be comple ted, the General Government shonld adopt such steps as shall insure the completion of the main trunk at the earliest possible period. 3d. Resolved, That, as the General Govern ment is expected to construct but one trunk, it should be located on the route which scientific explorations shall show i/o'possess the greatest degree of advancement in genial climate, fer tility of soil, cheapness id - construction, and accessibility at all seasons from all parts of the Union. 4th. Resolved, That in the opinion of this convention the Genera! Government should make liberal donations of the public lands to the different States, and to those bordering on the Mississippi, so as to enable all sections of the Union to connect themselves with each other. The first and second resolutions were passed unanimously, but the third was warmly debated. Mr. Kaiser moved to insert the word “central” in regard to the location of the road, which was lost by ten States against one. Mr. K. then moved the insertion of the word “temper ate,” as regarded the climate, which was agreed to. The resolutions, as amended, were then unanimously passed. Mr. Thrasher offered a resolution regarding Cuba, which was lost, and the convention ad journed till the afternoon. At’the evening session the other resolutions of the committee were passed without material change, which occupied the time until the hour ,of adjournment. The Hon John Bell will address the conven tion to-morrow morning. fourth day. Memphis. June 10. —The Memphis Conven tion has adjourned sine die. The proceedings throughout were harmonious and highly inter esting. Among other resolutions passed was one that the convention should meet next April at Charleston, South Carolina. Most of the delegates have left for their homes, speaking in ihe highest terms of the courteous treatment extended towards them by the citizens of Mem phis. Third District Convention. This Convention met at Forsyth, .on Monday, the 13th of June, 1853, for lliffpvtrpose of nom inating a Democratic candidate for Congress, from the Third Congressional District. The following counties were represented in the Con vention, to wit: Bibb—Messrs. Bailey, Newsom, Green, Speer and Gary. Houston—Messrs. Pringle and Hardeson. Monroe—Messrs. Pinckard, Cochran, Lasse ter and Poe. Pike—Messrs. McGttne, Lockhart, Critch ton. Upson—Messrs. Moore and Welborn. On motion of Alexander M. Speer, Esq., John Bailey, Esq., of Bibb, was called to the Chair, and O. C. Gibson, Esq. appointed Sec retary. Mr. Cary offered the following resolution, which was adopted: Resolved, That the Delegates from each county in the District present, have the right to cast five votes for their county. Mr. Pringle offered the following resolution, which was also adopted ; Resolved, That tho convention proceed to nominate a candidate for the Third Congress ional District by ballot, and that it take tw w thirds of the votes cast, to make a nomination. After two ballotings, Col. David J. of Butts, was unanimously nominated the Dem ocratic candidate for this Distriot. On motion of Mr. Speer, The Chair appoint a committee of three, to inform Col. Bailey or his nomination, and Messrs. Speer, GocbjripSJlflmcCune, were ap pointed that Committee. Oh motion of Mr, Pringle, A committee of three wore appointed by the to draft resolutions, and Messrs.-Pringle, flßpn, of Bibb, and McCune, were.appointed lliftt Committee—who nfter retiring reported thefollowing preamble and resolutions : JiVliereas, tlie Democratic party of the Tllttd District, having this day met in Convention, to nominate a Representative to* Congress,. and that dw being performed with a which gives promise of certain success to our cause andkandidafe, there remains little else for us to do, than to reiterate .hose principles under which so often contended and triumphed. ‘ , ’ Be it therefore Restsved, That the princis pies of the Democratic as enunciated in Baltimore in 1852, are adopted by this Con vention, and that to acquiesce in them is all thatis<|ecessary to constitute a true Democrat. 2. Resolved , That in our nominee, Col. D. J. Bailey, of Butts, we find a man of irreproach able character, both public and private, and one in every way entitled to the *supporW>f the Democratic Party of the Third Distrieß® A WitL such a candidate and such principles, \#.foei an abiding confidence in .our cause, and therefore present them to the public, claiming only that they should be approved or condemned, as they may be found mdS worthy of the one or the other. ™ ~ On motion of Mr. Newsom, it was Resolved, That the Report of tho Commit tee be adopted by tho convention.

We published some days since, the reso lutions of tlie New School Presbyterian Gener al Assembly, in regard to the subject of Slavery and Slaveholders. We are -sorry that, any Southern man should he found coSfyorating with such a body of pretended Christians.— It seems that the Southern Deiegates r protested against the action of tlie body, and oufe of them, the Rev. Dr. Ross, of Tennessee, submitted the following counter queries, which, to say the least, rather strangely accord with the solem nities of a grave, and didactic assembly. Resolved, That with an express disavowal, not to be inquisitorial, <fco., a committee of one from each of the Northern Synods of be appointed, who shall be requested to report at the next General Assembly : I. The number of Northern Church mem bers who traffic with slaveholders and are seek ing to make monev by selling them negro clothing, handcuffs and cowhides. How many Northern Chrflcli members a.e ioncerned, directly or indirectly, in build ing and fitting out ships for tho African slave trade, and the slave trade between tho States. 3. How many Northern have sent orders to New Orleans, atufe other Southern cities, to have slaves sold/ td pay debts coming to them from the South. ‘HSee Uncle Tom’s Cabin.] 4. How many Northern Church liieijjbers buy the cotton, sugar, rice, tobacco, oranges, p : ne apples, figs, gingw, cocoa, melons, dbd a thousand other things raised by slave labor. 5. How many of these Church members have inter, earned with slaveholders, anij* have thu-4*x*me. owners themselves, or enjoy . the wealth made by the blood of the slav'd—Bbk I pecially if there be any Northern ministers of the gospel in such a predicament. 6. How many Northern Church members are the descendants o? men who kidnapped.ne groes in Africa and brought them to Virginia and New England, in former years. 7. What is the aggregate and individual wealth of Church members thus descended, and what action is best to compel them tejpuisgorge this blood-stained wealth, or to tjsake them give dollar for dollar, in equalizing tho loss of the South by emancipation. 8. How many NortherplcGu rch members, ministers especially, haveldvocated murder, in resistance to the laws offthe land. 0. How maiiyjworthern Church members own stock in the ‘underground railroads l im ning oft’ fiptMs.!aves, and Sabbath breaking railroads dRd canals. 10.. That a special committee be.sent up Red Rirtfr to ascertain whether Legree, who whip jjjjprL nele Tom to death (and a Northern gen- SKraan) be not still in connection with soma JBnrthern Church in good and regular stand ing. 11. How many Northern Church members attend meetings of Spiritual Rappers, are Bloomers, or \V omen’s Rights Conventional ists. 12. How many are cruel husbands. 13. How many are hen peeked husbands. These queries are quite as reasonable and just as those propounded to slave holders by tbe silly and impudent abolitionists who com posed ti majority of the assembly. Still, we think it would have been much better for the Rev. Dr. Ross and his Southern friendirtto have seceded in a body from the religious society in which they have been unfortunately associa ted, than to be engaged in perpetrating even good practical jokes on so grave a subject.— The enquiries are certtiinlvYery pithy and point ed, but we must, we cattJP. help questioning their propriety when tho occasion is ‘'consid ered. — Sav-IJourier. -Jr Flying Machines. New Oilcans and Washington City, seem to ,bo the only ptte'cs in where that chimera, with much favor. The N. of the 10th, ‘“The tOjiMr. Petin’s system of serial navigation have?TOtermined to form a joint st.ock company to assist him in his experi ment. Th/Executive Committee were honor ably discharged man their duties, and a special committee appointed on Tuesday last, will re port this evening a matured plan for the oper ations jipd government of the company.” k The republic of the 11th, has the following: gearn that, nearly all the work of Mr. diroport is finished, and that in one could be made ready for its voyage in , amid strong winds and carrying hu rht! A little more money, however, , to complete the arrangements, and a terest is promised on tho investment, j ■ietor having no doubt about the sue- j ces**f his airial navigator. But the people at Ipge have uot the same degree of faith that Mr. Porter has, and therefore are reluctant to j r take part in the enterprise. The writer of this paragraph never expects to travel by means of the ieroport, whatever may be the calculations of others who are more fond of novelty and ex , poet to live longer.” Mrs. Stowe’s Key and the Bible. “Mrs. Stowe’s Key is a volume of truths, strong qe Holy Writ.”— Detroit Daily Adver tised The above sentence we clip from an adver tisement found in a religious paper. It is one of tbe puffs which is giving circulation to Mrs. Stowe’s “Key to Uncle Tom’s Cabin.” We have long been aware that the Garrisonian School of Abolitionists did not scruple to ele vate tbe “truths” of their favorite ism above the scriptures, and it would therefore have pro duced in us no surprise to hear them compare Mm. Stowe’s Key favorably with Holy Writ. But we were not exactly prepared to find such a comparison sanctioned by an evangelical newspaper. It is remarkable how close is the affinity between abolitionism and infidelity.— The i’uuatie is at first, contented to place his dogma on a level with Holy Writ. But when lie finds that Holy Writ fails to sustain him in what he calls philanthropy, he can better af ford to give up God’s word than to relinquish his “one idea.” It is an axiom with him, that (lie creed of anti-slavery is truth, and if the Bible teaches otherwise, he will “throw away the Bible and learn his religion from the flow ers of the field.”— Christian Index. Creeps, Weather and Rivers. ; The Richmond (Madison Parish) Journal of the 20th, says: “Had there been less rain, there would have V“n ‘ grusH in our crops. Asa general thing, however, we believe onr plantcfs'arc weft satisfied with their prospects, though we have heard considerable complaint about cotton dv ing out.” The West Point (Ga.) Beacon of tlie 9th, says: “For the last two or three weeks we have had extremely dry weather, with scarcely rain enough during tho time to lay the dust, and in consequence of which the growing crops of corn and cotton are suffering very much. — Should this state of things continue much lon ger, the prospect of the plantei-s will he any thing else but cheering.” The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel of the 21st, says: “We are aware that it is very common to speak of the weather as extraordinary and un precedented, yet we think that either epithet may be applied to the present drought with perfect propriety, for we have no recollection of having witnessed such an one at this season of the year as has prevailed for five or six weeks in this section ; and regret to learn that it extends over a large pui iion of this State, South Caro lina and Florida, to the great injury of the crops, and to extent that the forest trees in places, ws*Brn, are dying from it.” Fire in Charleston.—The Charleston Courier, of the 16th inst., says: “At a quarter before 10 o’clock hist evening, a fire broke out on board tlie ship Condar, Capt. J. G. Barstow, recently from New York, but now loading at Boyce <fc Co.’s wharf, for Liverpool. The fire companies were promptly on the spot, and, as we write, are engaged in filling her. How the fire originated is not known. She had on board about 1800 bales of cotton, a very large proportion Upland. We are gratified to learn that the Insurance Companies of this city are very small sufferers, the bulk of tho cotton icing insured abroad.” < [From tlie New Orleans Delta.] From Texas. By the arrival of the steamship Louisiana, Cnpt j Smith, we have Galveston papers to the 10th inst., 1 and corresponding dates from other parts of the ! State. The Galveston News of the 10th has tho follow ing intelligence from the so-called gold mines: Mr. J. Howard and Dr. Thornton, of this city, returned yesterday morning from Hamilton’s Val ley, whither they travelled in search of the “gold mines,” nnd to view the country. Mr. 11. informs us that the party to which he was attached spent about seven days in the neighborhood of the Sandies, and all that they had been able to dis- j cover, after repeatedly washing panfulls of earth, i was a few mßtlte'parlicles’ of gold, so small that a hundred of them would not bd worth five cents. Ho is thoroughly satisfied that gold is not to be found in sufficient quantity to pay half a dollar a day. He was informed by the settlers in the vi- j cinity that no piece of gold larger than the head i of a amnion pin had been discovered. Abund ance of quartz rock was found, but none of it con tained any gold. In tho same neighborhood is some old Spanish or Mexican silver mines, but they are not rich. Mr. Howard’s statement is entitled to the ut most confidence, and we call the attention of i those papers to it that have given circulation to ; the exaggerated rumors of thatrichness of Ihe mines. It is believed by 6ome that the rumors were in dustriously started to induce immigration and at I tract attention towards (liar portion of Texas, land owners. It is ih-scribel as a beautiful try indeed, and deserving of notice. Fine ry, rich soil, and pure, limpid^teams are teristics rendering it most attractive. ’ AH The impression in the interior with ninny sons is that the milling expedition, which is preparation for the Wnrhtta mountains, will with but little success, while the l isle of life, account of the Indians, is great. Some who have been in these mountains similar yield of gold to the mines on the and no more.

Onr correspondent tliiukH his neighborhood a very superior one. he says, is very good. ]H The Austiu Gazette learns from a gentleman Polk county, who was in that city a few days that the prospect for abundant mops in that tv is by no means flattering. The spring backward ami wet, and the crops are not so ward ns they are west of the Brazos. The Gonzales Enquirer says: Notwithstanding the extreme backwardness the spring, we learn from several of our that both the cotton and corn crops this comity, are in a flourishing condition. of the corn is in silk nnd tassel. Gavazzi. ■ Wo have already presented the reader with tracts from numerous prominent newspapers, ting forth their views with reference to the vazzi Riots in Canada. He has doubtless struck with the similarity of the opinions pressed. ’Hie press, almost, without condemn both parlies, the Padre and the The one, for bis intemperate zeal, as manifested inflammatory language, and the other for lawless conduct. The Montreal Transcript, a Catholic has the following sensible remarks on Padre, his troubles: — Bav. Courier. Father Gavazzi seems to have some opportune! ta enliven the newspapers. We are all full of the! details cf the viot, which was certainly a most di ■grh’ ieu* -'vike. lbopress, and m the Parliament, there are ,i two opinion.-, tlie dpliiihu is, that itinerant lectures, on quasi-religious topics, are nuisances, but that, to interrupt them by force, is p flagrant violation of all civil and religious liber ty. No one lias any right to go nnd listen, un less lie means to listen patiently. If any one speaks any- thing blasphemous or indecent, that is a thing! for, the police to apprehend, and fertile courts of justice to correct,. Polemic abuse has never lieen considered, however degrading indi viduals, any legal sin. AVe can not, possibly, enter into any portion of the theological questions raised by M. Gavazzi, any more than we did into those raised by Mr. Brownson. Nothing is easier than flinging dirt; and unfortunately, the sins of humanity arc too many not to leave to every uncharitable man sufficient materials for reproach. In saying so, we are not attempting to balance the merits of any religions creed; the only opinion we wish to ex press is, that reproach is not charity. The llow. Charles Murphy. The following card appears in the Atlanta In telligencer. It seems that Mr. Murphy has resolv ed not to abide by the action of the Convention, which nominated Col. Dent. It remains to be seen, whether the Whigs will allow the present candid ates to occupy the course alone, or bring out n third candidate: Decatur, Juno loth, 1853. W. B.

New Orleans, June 14. night the police arrested the ringleader , j a Projected insurrection. | * ‘ ia negroes confessed that the plan was to j attack the city at three points, and to seize tlie ! arsenals, gunsmith shops, and depots of arms. Speoi:tl parties were detailed to attack the pow-! der magazine, aud United States barracks be- j low the city, and to fire the city at several pla j ces, the flames to be the signal of revolt on the j neighboring plantations. The ringleader belonged to Mr. Rushton, and j he and others were arrested on their way to ! Carrollton, the place of rendezvous. The ne-! groes when arrested by the authorities were , .prepared to resist the police. The police has been armed, and the Bat- j ; ts'ion and Artillery called out. Armed parties are patrolling the streets in evety direction. The night, however, passed off quietly.
