Thirty-Fourth Congress—second session.
Washington, Feb. 21.—Senate.—Mr. Wilson
gave notice of his intention to introduce ft bdi
granting tlie cuies of Washington and George
town iive hundred thousand acres of land for the
support of the public schools.
The tvnate proceeded to the consideration of
the House bill authorising the people of Minnesota
Territory of form a Constitution and State gov
ernment, perparatory for admission into the
Union.
Mr. Biggs moved an amendment that none but
citizens of the United States be entitled to vote in
reference to the formation of a Constitution and
State government, lie did not know but what
the offering of sucli a propsition might subject
him to the suspicion of being tained with Know
Nothitigiam. But whether this was one of the
principles of the American party or not, he was
decidedly in favor of confining the privilege of
voting to citizens of the United States, native
naturalized, in the formation of all organic laws.
Mr. Bordhead ailndeu to the action of the Senate
cn the Nebraska bill. They adopted an amend
ment simitar to this, which the House struck out.
When the bill came back to the Senate, be again
moved to insert that provision in the bill, being
the only northern members who sanctioned that
amendment, from the beginning to the end—the
others w ho voted for it at first having yielded to
their convictions in order to allow the hill to pass.
Hence he was in favor of the present proposition
because he believed the right of suffrage was co-ex-
tensi vejwitli tic- right of eit izenslup. He did not feel a
liberty in difining the rights of voters to go further
than the Constitution of his own State has gone,
and that has confined the right of suffrage to citi
zenship in the United Strtes.
Mr. Brown expressed his concurrence in the
views expressed by the Senator from Pennsyl
vania.
Mr. Douglas replied to Mr. Biggs' remarks,
maintains that the amendment was improper, and
showing in several instances that persons had been
considered citizens of someof the States w ho were
no citizens of the United States.
Mr. Seward said lie was in favor of admitting
aliens to vote precisely for the reason that the-e
new States are to be made chiefly by aliens and
foreigners, or in a large degree by them, and be
lieved that this class of immigrants who come to
this country are, as a general fact, as intelligent
and as capable of exercising the functions of self,
government as our owneducated citizens.
Mr. Clay protested against the doctrine, as ad
vanced by Mr. Seward, that the right of suffrage
■was co-ordinate with the duty of obedience to the
government. The doctrine would allow infants,
women and colored persons to vote, and this should
teach the importance of having some limit attach
ed, in Congressional legislation, to the right of
forming organic laws.
Aficr further debate, Mr. Biggs' amendment
State Rights, and United States’ Rights.

was agreed to—yeas27, najs24—and the bill was
passed.
The bill to establish a separate judicial district
South of the Gila was passed. The Senate then ad
journed,
House.—The House passed the post office ap-
propriation bill, and the n took np the resolution
imp aching Judge Watrous, of Texas, of certain
high crimes and misdemeanors.
Mr. Caskic advocated the postponement of the
subject to the first Monday of December next,
showing that it was impossible to obtain any
proper action during the present Congress.
Mr. Wakeinan mentioned the fact that Judge
Peck was presented in the last week of the session
of the Congress of 1803. The House declared that
he w as liable to impeachment, but the subject went
over till the ensuing Congress, when he was im
peach, d and discharged from office. He hoped
the question pending would be postponed till Sat
urday next.
Mr. Barbour concurred in this suggestion.
Mr. Humphrey Marshall did not know how the
House could repair the injustice done Judge NVa-
trus than by ordering the impeachment. The
House might as well do it now. If he were Judge
Watrous he would demand it.
Mr Kaedy, although he had no right to speak
by authority, had understood that Judge Watrous
desires an investigation, and thinks he will be per
fectly able oo refute the charges.
MrSaudridge thought it a most F monstrous
proposition to seriously consider the subject before
even the evidence is printed.
The subject was then postponed until Satur
day.
l lie House took up tlie resolution of the com
mittee ou elections, declaring Whitfield not enti
tled to his seat as delegate from Kansas.
On motion of Mr. Caruthers it was tabled—yeas
fid: nays 85.
The House then went into committee of the
whole.
Mr. Washburne, of Illinois, vainly strove to
fake up the river and harbor bills, and Mr. Grow
made an ineffectual effort in regard to the home
stead bill.
Mr. Kthdridge of Tennessee, made a speech de
fending himself from the charge of being a

Stole Drmocrntic C onvention.
Some w eeks ago, we suggested the 2d week in
June next as a good time to assemble the Demo
cracy of the State, at Milledgeville, to make a
nomination for Governor. Since then, we have
seen a suggestion, in the Atlanta Intelligencer,
that Wednesday the Utth day of June, be set apart
as the day. We accede to the suggestion, and
hope that time will be fixed upon by the Press,
generally, of the party, and be so announced at an
early day. Let the Democracy assemble in their
primary meetings and send up delegates to tlie
Convention, who will faithfully represent the wish
es of the people, on this important occasion.

TIIE DIFFERENT LIGHT IN WHICH DIFFERENT
MEN VIEW THE SAME THING.
The manm r in which different men contemplate
the same object, is generally considered a sure
scale by which we can measure their mental and
moral capacities. A learned and pious minister,
and an ignorant but industrious tailor, both con
templating Passaic Falls at the same time, the
minister broke forth in raptures at the power and
glory of the Almighty, displayed in his works; the
tailor exclaimed with equal enthusiasm, “How
tine a place to sponge a coat!” We were once, in
company with several others, looking at a large
pile of gold coin at the mint; a philanthropic gen
tleman present exclaimed, “What a vast amount
of good could be done with all this gold.” A
loalerish looking fellow at the same time remarked,
“What a fine chance that old fellow (pointing to
the Superintendent) has to steal!” Both of these
persons, no doubt, by their remarks, exhibited
tlieir ruling passion. We liave been led to these
reflections by tlie manner in which a very inno
cent remaik of ours has been understood by some
of our contemporaries. Some time ago whilst
contrasting the positions of the Democracy and
the Know Nothings, we said that the Democracy,
notwithstanding their troubles, generally succeeded in
getting the control of the. National and State govern
ments, and renj) many adrantages from their position
unknown to Sant: We thought a party which for
many years had been kept in power, and had, du
ring that whole time, kept the country happy and
prosperous, must possess the confidence of the
people, and in their position had great advantages
over Sam, who had never obtained power but to
abuse it, and disgrace the people that had trusted
him. But this is not the way the Richmond AVhig
views our position. We are sorry to say that the
Whig, like the loafer in the mint, can see no ad
vantage in possessing power, but an opportunity to
steal from the public treasury. To show that we
do him no wrong, we quote his article entire.

Under this head the Columbus Enquirer tries to
convict us of admitting the charge which that pa
per brought against the Democracy some time be
fore viz: that “the Democracy when in power can
only get along by carrying out Whig doctrines.”
The Enquirer says “it is news to us to hear that
the Whig party ever went for a tariff for protec
tion only;” whether it is news or not, it is a fact of
which the Enquirer will be convinced if it will re
fer to the old tariff hills brought forward under the
auspices of Henry Clay and his party. In these
bills it will be seen there are many articles upon
which the tariff is so high as to amount to a pro
hibition ofthe article, all coarse cotton fabrics for
instance, and on many others the tariff was
so high as to materially check their importa"
tion. Now this was neither accidental, nor
incidental protection; but the tariff was so ar
ranged on purpose to check, or entirely stop
| the importation of such articles for the sole object

Mr. G.
when the duties on an article are so high as to
prevent importation, it is plain that no revenue can
be raised on that article; and it has turned out as
was predicted by tlie democracy tliat a low tariff
has produced more revenue than a high one, be
cause it lias given more encouragement to com
merce. The Enquirer does not appear to un
derstand what is meant by incidental protection.
There never was, nor never can be a tariff of duties,
however low they may be. upon any articles which
are the growth, product or manufacture of this
country, which will not give incidental protection
to those articles; but in this case revenue is the ob
ject, and protection an incident: in the old Whig
tariffs protection was the main object as we have
shown above.
Not so Easily Gulled.
The Know Nothing press, particularly tlie Jour
nal dc Messenger, is busy with its tricks to catch
unwary Democrats. That paper ltuows just as
well as we do, that nobody but a Democrat will be
nominated for Governor, by the Democratic party:
and the Editors know as well as they know any
thing in the future, that their party will run Ben
Hili for Governor. That is a fixed fact; anil all
the talk about Mr. Hull. Mr. Chappell, Ac., ifcc.,
in the Messenger, is merely “sound aud fury, sig
nifying nothing” more than that the Messenger
would be glad to catch a lew Democrats in its net
whose principles were of such an easy kind, that
they could be entirely ignored when Ben Hill was
nominated for Governor by the Know Nothings. 1
Democrats are generally shrewd enough to keep
out ofthe toils set for them by- the enemy. Now
and then a poor fellow falls in, and long, long,
does he labor, before he can recover his position.
We don’t know any suffering of an earthly char
acter, more intense and more protracted than that
of a Democrat who leaves his party, and after
wards repents nud desires to get back into full
favor with his old friends. The struggle is awful.
If Democrats would avoid this ordeal we cau
tion them against “Compromise,” “People's” and
“Independent” Parties. Such Parties are ephem
eral in character: they exist only a few days-
They are always started with the view of breaking
down the Democratic Party, and, thank fortune,
they always fail.
Stick to the Democratic-party, young man, it
will save you many a pang of disappointment.
Stick to it old Democratic father, you have grown
grey in its service, and have seen the country
prosper and grow under its auspices; stick to it
all your days.

In our columns this week will be found a synop
sis of the Report of the Committee appointed to
investigate the charges of corruption of the mem
bers of Congress. As we predicted when we first
learned the names of tho Committee, they
have done their duty faithfully, nor have their
labors been in vain. They have established
the charge of corruption against four of the mem
bers of Congress and recommended their expul
sion from the House. Not only this, but they have
exposed the disgraceful conduct of many members
of the lobby, and have recommended the passage
of a law punishing all engaged hereafter in at
tempts to bribe or influence the conduct of mem
bers of Congress by pecuniary considerations, by
fines and imprisonment. The committee have
done their duty, it remains to be seen whether
Congress will do theirs. The members who have
been fonnd guilty are Wm. A. Gilbert, Francis S-
Edwards and Orasmus B. Matteson from New
York, aud AVm. Welch of Connecticut, all Black
Republicans, and three of them we believe Know-
Nothings. But this is not all, they have also
proven that Greely, the immaculate Horace of the
Tribune, lias received a thousand dollars for his aid
in getting a certain bill passed. Horace has long
been believed to have “an itching palm,” it is now

Messrs. Editors:
As our Democratic friends seem to be considera
bly occupied with the commendable and interest
ing business of Governor making, I hope I may
be excused for trying my hand also.
Some trouble may possibly arise in the selection
ef a suitable candidate for the Democratic party to
support for that high and responsible office, from
the fact that there is so large a number of gentle
men in our ranks in every respect worthy of the
honor, and for whom the party would yield a cor
dial support. This, however, will be but a tem
porary difficulty. The selection being made, there
will be a united and harmonious effort to elect the
nominee. But a far greater difficulty than this, it
is apprehended, will piesent itself to the nomina
ting Convention, nanSly, that of selecting a can
didate to sr.it the Know Nothings, who manifest
much solicitude in that behalf. Well, though 1
may not be able to conciliate the devotees of
“Sam, - ' I feel very confident of being able to in
dicate a gentleman, whose name has already been
announced and repeatedly endorsed, for whom the
entire Democracy of Georgia will give a hearty
and united support. That gentleman is Col.
H. G. Lamar of Bibb. Col. Lamar is too well
and widely known in this Suite to require any
eulogistic puffing; being a native born, brought
up and educated among us, he posesses in a suffi
cient degree a true Southern tone of feeling. His
talents have been tested in the councils of our
State and National Legislature, and none can
say he did not acquit himself with usefulness and
honor to his country, aud satisfaction to bis con
stituents. A gentleman of great suavity and affa
bility of manners; kind and generous disposition ;
job at the tune of one thousand dollars, and he has 1 ..
J . cultivated intellect; high-toned moral sentiment;
never been required to tell what use he made ot: unquestioned probity aud devotion to Democratic

vanished. The Committee deserve the thanks of i him the people are pointing unmistekably as
the whole country for the faithful manner in which their choice as_ a candidate for the position to
they have performed an arduous and very unpleas
ant duty.
NT«I So.
The Editors of tho Savannah Republican appear
to be much rejoiced at the passage of the bill by the
U. S. Senate authorising Minnesota to organize a
State Government, a provision of the bill being
that none but citizens of the United States are to
be allowed to vote. The editors exclaim with
exultation, “Americanism triumphant in a Demo
cratic Senate.” Not so—if by “Americanism” you
mean the principles ofthe Know Nothing Party.
If the bill had said none should vote who had not
been citizens of the United States for twenty-one
years, then we grant you, gentlemen, the Know-
Nothing party would have gained a triumph—but
the bill said no such tiling, and “Americanism,”
Know Notliingism, as we understand it, lias yet to
gain a triumph in a Democratic Senate.
What they are Afraid of.
Honest men wish to disseminate their principles
in every direction. Patriots desire that their cher
ished principles should be adopted by every body,
and become the ruling sentiment of the nation,
but the Know Nothings are evidently afraid of
their principles, and dread nothing so much as the
apprehension, that they may be adopted and car
ried out by the Democracy. We had occasion last
week to notice the unreasonable complaints of the
Columbus Enquirer on that subject. We now call
the attention of our readers to an exhibition of
similar fears in the Rome Courier, of the '2-ltb ult >
where we find the following sentiment.
“If the American party were to neglect to mar
shal its forces, for the coming campaign, many of
its members would scatter abroad and by two
years hence our opponents would engraft iuio
their platform the leading principles of the Ameri
can party, and thus get strength to perpetuate the
corruption and intrigue of the spoils-seeking mod
em democracy.”
Was there ever such a party known before in
any country. They openly acknowledge that
they fear their principles may be adopted and
carried out by their opponents. If they really be
lieve their principles will benefit the country,
surely they should desire tlie Democracy to carry
them out, but they have evidently become alarmed
at the effects of their principles, aud do not wish
them to be adopted by the Democracy who alone
have the power to carry them out. But we can
assure them there is no cause for alarm in that
direction; the Democracy will never adopt the
creed ofthe Know Nothings; their example will be
a beacon to alarm aud admonish all otner parties,
and warn them not to follow in a track that has
been so disastrous and is strown with so many
frightful, wrecks.
“A Terrible Thtinfteriu<(’- Tlimlalie.
The Editor of the Sumter Republican, u Know
Nothing sheet published at Aniericus, has discov
ered a mare’s nest:—here it is:
A Terrible Thundering Bull.—We notice
the Federal Union, published at Milledgeville, is
out in favor of the Hon. John H. i umpkin ot
Fioyd as the democratic candidate for Governor in
the ensuing canvass.
This may he regarded as an effort of Gov. John
son to appoint his successor by proclamation. The
idea we suppose is for Johnson to favor Lumpkin’s
election for Governor and Lumpkin is then to
spread himself for Johnson for United States Sen-
wltich his friends desire to elevate him.
I would by no means be understood as design
ing to disparage the claims of others by appropria
te Col. Lamar these noble traits of character, for
I am proud to acknowledge a long roll of Demo
crats who may hereafter do honor to the office: but
the claims of Col. Lamar have been long postponed
by the generosity of his friends. He has now,
however, reached a period of life, when it would
be invidious longer to delay tlieir appropriate re
ward. His great personal popularity peculiarly fit
him for the honor of being made onr standard
bearer in the approaching Gubernatorial cam
paign, and certainly none can be more available.
Then let the decree go forth from the Democracy

Now. the Federal Union “is out in favor” of no
body fot Governor. We published a communica

we had previously published commuuications re

USr’ The following, from the pen of ex-SenRtor
Hanuigau: of Indiana, will be appreciated by all:
“We cannot refrain from calling the attention of
our readers to the “Hair Restorative” of Prof. O.
J. Wood. It will be seen that he has numerous
certificates from persous of the highest character,
to the merits of his Restorative. From positive
kuowledge we are also enabled to say that it is in
every sense what it professes to be, and we do not-
hesitate to pronounce it tlie finest preparation for
the head and hair which has, so far, been devised
by human ingenuity. We have seen it arrest
threatened baldness, and restore to the head its
original profusion of natural and glossy hair, and
when the latter has been prematurely tinged with
gray, we have seen it, like magic, restore the col
ors of youth and health. The distinguishing pro
perty of this, we might truly say, miraculous “Re

French Census.—Two extremely serious facts
have been brought to light by the French official
census for 1856, and which have not only excited
the attention of the public, but formed the subject
of consideration in the Academy of Moral and
Political .Science at oueof its recent sittings. The
first fact is an almost complete interruption in the
progress of the national population since the cen
sus of 1851; and the second is the extraordinary
tendency evinced, during the same period, by the
people of the country districts to move to” the
large towns, and particularly to the capital. From
1851 to lo50, France, according to the last census,
has only gained 255,IH)0 inhabitants. In the same
number of years, from 1841 to 1846, the increase
was 1,200,000 —Assemble Nativnalc.

Arrival Extraordinary.—The citizens of Calhoun,
Gordon county, were surprised a few days since by
the arrival ot a steamboat at their village. The
Oostanaula, a small craft, some 80 feet in length,'
and of very light draft, was run up to McDill's
bridge on the Oostanaula, on the 13th, and it is
said will make weekly trips hereafter to the same
place Every body, of eonrse, went down to
visit the stranger.
license to trade. The motion was agreed to. It
was suggested by several speakers that the mo
nopoly should be broken up and the lands thrown
open to colonization. Mr. Laiug alluded to the
tide of emigration now setting towards Minnesota,
and said the only mode to avert a conflict between
England and the United States, which might arise
from American emigration overstepping tlie bor
ders and squatting on English territory, would be
the annexation of the Hudson Bay territories with
Canada.
The Queen's speech says that the Government
is negotiating with the United States and Hondu
ras about the Central American question, and
hopes that the difficulties will be removed.
Denmark.—The treaty for the exemption of the
sound dues has been printed. Article fourth binds
the States signing the treaty to pay to Denmark
30.570.000 rix dollars, according to the quotas al
ready agreed upon.
Naples.—The King of Naples has signed a trea
ty with the Argentine Republic for the reception
of the Neapolitan State prisoners who are to be
pardoned. This treaty, accompanied with an offer
of pardon, lias been communicated to all the State
prisoners of the Kingdom.
Greece.—The English and French troops have
been ordered to evacuate Greece, the demands of
these governments having been fully complied
with.
A commission, composed of the three protecting
Powers—Russia, England and France, has been
appointed to investigate the condition of Greek
finances.
Fersia.—The British were advancing into tlie
interior of Persia at the last accounts. The Eng
lish have reconstructed the forts at Bushire, and
left troops there, and marched upon Mohamora,
which command both the province of Farsand the
road to the Shiras. They are also about to occupy
Mnhominarad and Bueder Ali—two towns on the
Persian Gulf.
Markets.—Cotton—The Broker's Circular quotes:
Fair and middling qualities have declined J, with a
firm market. Sales of the week 45,000 bales.
Sales on exportation 9,000 bales. Sales for export
31.000 bales.

Election of Hon. John H Thompson.—The New
Jersey legislature is entitled to the thanks of the
whole country, for returning to a seat which he has
tilled with so much honor, their able and patriotic
Senator. John R. Thompson. To the middle
States of the Union we must look for everything
that can cement the States together. Near enough
to tbe fanaticism w hich rages so furiously in New
Sngland to see and abhor its characteristics, they
wisely drive it back from their councils, aud main
tain tlie position of firm aud ennservai ive friends
of the whole Union. If by treachery and base
bargain and sale Pennsylvania has been misrep
resented in the election of Simon Cameron, it is a
source of much gratification that we shall have a
Senator from New;Jersey, whose name is untainted
by personal or political depravity.—At Daily

Patronage According to Feeling.—The late Mi
Shepard, of Baltimore, who died worth more t
half a million, was exceedingly parsimonious. A
friend who knew him well, writes to the Post some
incidents in his life. He gave the bulk of bis pro-
f ierty to the foundation of an insane asylum, and
eft not a single cent to the poor old woman who
kept house for him on starvation, board and wages
From Corzaca' Win# Pmu
We lay before our readers some extracts from a
letter of Mr. Robert Buchanan, one of the moat
eminent of the vine cultivators of the West:
Cincinnati, Dec. 8th, 1856.
F. S. COZZENS, Esq.—My Dear Sir: I have sold
my wine crop of 1855 at $1 50, and 1856, at $1 40,
in bulk, to the Missouri Wine Company. Owing
to the short crop, our native wines will be scarce
and high next year. The demand is so great West
and South-west, that wc cannot keep a supply
ahead.
Grape culture in vineyards, wherever practica
ble, is largely on the increase in the Uuited States,
particularly iu the South-west. The soil and cli
mate of North Carolina and Georgia are especially
favorable to the cultivation of the Catawba, our
great wine grape. The product there is enormous.
How it will hold out is yet to be tested ; but thus
far it greatly exceeds the Ohio valley productions.’
It shows what this fiue grape will do in its na
tive locations. It has been traveling all over the
United States for fifty years, and is now just be
ing tried in vineyards at home with wonderful suc
cess. This grape was first found by Col. Murray,
in Buncombe county. North Carolina, in 18 2, and
planted in his garden. From thence it spread to
the North and East, being but little cultivated
South, where the Scupperuong and the Warren
were the favorite wine grapes
A letter from Mr. Longworth, of Cincinnati,
says:
I would strongly urge the raising of seedlings
from our best native grapes, and without a cross
with European grapes. It will be our own fault if
we do not, by selecting our best wild grapes, and
planting thtfir seed, soon equal tbe best table
grapes of Europe, and surpass their wine grapes,
aud supply them with wine.
Astounding News from Indianopolis’.—A letter
has been received here from Indianopolis stating
shat in the investigation of the accounts of the
outgoing Republican party State officers of Indiana,
astounding defalcations have been discovered; that
certificates tor insuring patents for some 15 or
2U,il00 acres of swamp lands have been issued in
favor of one of those officers, for which no money
has been paid into the treasury; that the accounts
of the State treasurer show a deficit of some $60,000
not paid up by him; and tbe issue of a large
amount of bank paper without taking the security
required bylaw. There is "old Ned to pay” in
Indianopolis about these developeraents. The
parties implicated were elected as Know Nothings
but turned np Republicans in the shuffling of the
cards of the late Presidential campaign.—[Wash

Acquitted.—The Trial of Dr. M. P. Moore of New
York charged with conspiring to take the life of
Mr. Alfred S.' Livingston. ofTrenton, N. J., and
which occupied the attention of the fonrt of Gen
eral Sessions for four days was brought to a close
on 20th inst, by the jury rendering a verdict of
acquittal. Tho motion in tlie Supreme Court for
an injunction to restrain Mr. Livingston from
attaching certain property belonging to Dr. Moore
was denied.
New York Statement.—New York Feb. 23.—Tho
weekly statement of the city banks show a decrease
of .$949,000 in loans; $65,000 in specie; $45,000 in
circulation, and an increase ef $531,000 in de
posits.
Muscogee Railroad.—A dividend of four dollars
perl share of the general stock, has been declared
on the operations of this road for the last six
months.
Sugar in New Jersey.—Judge Rodgers, of Ocean
co. New Jersey, says that last summer lie raised
Sugar cane on his farm at Cedar Creek, and that
the soil and climate seem congenial to its growth
and maturity. He thinks molasses may be pro
fitably on the soil of that State.
Arrest of the Gipsies.—In the Georgian & Jour
nal of yesterday, we gave a full account of the
swindling operation of a confidence gaining Gipsey,
on a party not far from this city, and to-day we
can inform our readers of her arrest, along with a
male accomplice on the charge of having cheated
and swindled Uriah Mitchell Esq., of Bryan
county, out of $1,500. The mode by which the
accused worked up matters to effect their swind
ling views, is curious and almost verifies the say
ing that truth is stranger than fiction.
After securing the above amount, they moved
off and were passing in Atlanta as “Mr. and Mrs
Taylor.” P. M. Russel, Esq., Justice of Peace,
of Savannah, issued the warrant for their arrest,
which was efiected verterday by constable W. I
Russell and the party are now enroute for our county
jail for safe keeping.
We learn that there are a few morejof the gang
left, so beware of black eyed Gipsies.

Of. Kant.
From the information we have received by tele
graph, we fear this distinguished young voyager
is no more. Our readers are doubtless aware but
a short time ago the Doctor sailed from England,
for Havanna, to recruit his falling health. At one
time rumor reached ns that his health was improv
ing, but those good tidings were soon blasted by
more recent intelligence. We deeply sympathize
with his afflicted family, and hope for the best.
His death will be a nation's loss.
Dr. Kane was born in Philadelphia in the year
1822, and had accordingly just entered upon his
thirtv-fifth year. He received his academ c edu
cation at the University of Virginia, and gradua
ted as Doctor of Medicine at the University of
Pennsylvania in 1843. Soon after that date he
entered the United States Navy as assistant sur
geon, and accompanied the first American embas
sy to China. With his native thirst for obs' rving
tlie manners qnd customs of strange countries, lie
visited different parts of China, the Phillipim s,
Ceylon, and tbe interior of india. He was the
first white person who descended into the crater
of the Tail ofLuzen, accomplishing the enterprize
at the hazard of his life. He was suspended by
a bamboo rope around his body, from a projecting
craig, more than two hundred feet above the re
mains of volcanio eruptions. With bottles of
suipliorusacid and other specimens from the month
of the crater, he was dragged np sense #ss through
the scoria 1 . Upon this expedition, he was attacked
by the LaJrones and savages of the Negrito race,
and exposed to other hardships which proved fatal
to his travelling companion, Baton Loe, of Prus
sia. After this, he travelled over a considerable
portion of India, visffed Ceylon, ascended the Nile
to the confines of Nubia, and passed a season in
Egypt. He travelled through Greece on feet, and
returned in 1846 to the United States. He was
immediately ordered to the coast of Africa, and
sailing in the frigate United States, visited the
slave factories from Cape Mount to the River
Bonny, and obtained free access to the baracoons
of Dahomey. Returning home in a precarious
state of health, he recovered sufficient to visit
Mexico during the war as a volunteer He suc
ceeded in delivering dispatches from the President
to the Commander in Chief, escorted by tbe no
torious spy company ofthe brigand Dominguez,
and after getting the better of a detachment of
Mexican soldiers whom they eneounted at Nopa-
luca, lie was forced to combat his companions
single-handed in order to save the lives of his pris
oners, Gen. Torrajon, Gen. Gaona and others, from
their fury. On the return of peace, he was order
ed upon the Coast Survey under Professor Bache,
and was thus employed in the Gulf of Mexico,
when he volunteered his services to the first Grin-
nell Expedition in 1850. He was accepted as
senior surgeon and naturalist of the squadron,
aud entered upon his duties with an enthusiasm,
sagacity, and power of endurance which admirably
prepared him for the most arduous responsibilities
of the second Expedition; the results of which are
before the world.
In this private character, Dr. Kane displayed a
singularly lovely and attractive union of qualities
in striking contrast with the boldness and resolu
tion which impelled hint on bis career ofadven
ture. The narrative of his expeditions presents a
delightful illustration of his personal traits. In
this respect they possess the charm of unconscious
autobiography. His modest simplicity, his refined
tastes, his tenderness of feling, and his almost
feminine sympathies are perpetually revealed in
connection w ith as dauntless courage and constan
cy as ever nerved heroic heart to lofty prowess
Hence, the magnetic power which ho exerted over
the companions of his enterprise, winning tlieir
romantic attachment, and making himself a centre
of light and encouragement amid the darkest
moments of the forlorn hope in the Arctic seas
Whatever the scientific results of liis perilous
voyages, they are of still highet significance in
the example they have presented of noble, per
sistent, disinterested and undismayed manhood.

Walker’s Position.
The steamship Texas can scarcely get up in time
to furnish us with the details of tlie gratifying
news she brings from Nicaragua. The lengthy
report received by telegraph last night, and which
onr readers w ill find on the inside of this Evening’s
Courier, will suffice, however, to assure even the
enemies of Walker, that he is master of the posi
tion, and will yet bring them—and that ere long
—to a serious' account. It proves that the ac
counts reporting so unfavorably respecting him,
brought hither by the Granada and the Empire
City, and those forwarded to New York to similar
effect, were nothing but tbe baldest of mendacious
fabrications. There was not the least foundation
for the stupidly devised tales of Walkers having
been driven from Rivas, being surrounded in San
Jorge, or pressed lor men, provisions or ammuni
tion. The one trutii in it all was, that a few cow
ards and traitors deserted from Col. Lockridge’s
command, under the encouragement and protec- j
country, had they any selfish end which they could
hope to attain by doing so ?
Let each reader supply the response for himself.
Wc have no doubt of what it must be.
But they are worsted. By this time their crea
ture, Spencer, has met his deserts, we trust. With
the position which we are assured Col. Loekridge
had stemed on the river, and with the reinforee-
ments and guns which he had received, not a
doubt can be sustained in reasonable minds that
the Costa Ricans have, long before this, been de
prived of the eummand of the Transit route, which
the audacity of the traitor Spencer enabled them
to secure for a brief time.
W T e feel a h -arty satisfaction at learning that the
Costa Ricans had concentrated nearly all their riv
er forces at the point about to be attacked by Col.
Loekridge. His work will be all the more effect
ual when he shall have encountered them and van
quished them—as vanquish them he no doubt will.
Instead of Walker’s being driven in great straits
to San Jorge, the fact turns out to be that tbe
allies had been driven from it by the gallant Gen.
Henningsen. Ourreaders will now clearly enough
perceive the cause of those discrepancies ia the
false accounts sent hither from Aspiuwall.
W’e hope this news will have its due effect upon
those who have any sympathy whatever with the
Nicaraguan cause. Aiu promptly furnished will
at, once give tho finishing blow to the efforts of
mongrel suicides to prevent the progress ot liberty
and civilization in one of the finest portions of
this continent. It ought to be furnished with lib
erality and cheerfulness. The cause is worthy of
much sacrifice ; its fate is iu good bauds ; let it be
sustained here, as it ought to be.
Extension of ttw South-Western Railroad.
A large meeting convened in this city last week,
for the purpose of consummating arrangements
for extending this road from a point three miles
beiow Sumter city, through tlie counties of Terrell
and Randolph, to Lufaula, Ala. Delegates were
in attendance from these counties: also from Clay
county, for the purpose of extending a branch to
Fort Gaines, to diverge three miles beyond Cuth-
bert. Such arrangements have been made as will
insure the building of this branch. The entire
length of the extension is sixty-four and a half
miles, viz: fourteen and a half miles to Dawson,
Terrell county, twenty-five to Cuthbert, and twen
ty-five to Lufaula. Thirty-three per cent on the
stock was paid in and deposited to the credit of the
company at the agency of the Marine Bank in this
city, (or over $200,000. The road lias been mostly
located, and contracts are now being let, and the
work will he commenced very soon, and all the
attendant circumstances warrant the belief that it
will progress rapidly. It is thought that our
friends iu Dawson will be able to greet the iron
horse by next Christmas, over which event,
of course", old folkes and young will make mar
ry.
Dawson, it is kuown, is the county site of the
new county of Terrell. It was laid off some six
months ago, aud now numbers about fifty families,
several dry goods stores and familv groceries, also
a good hotel, livery stable, &c.—making quite a
respectable village. The location is favorable, with
good water, and will doubtless prove healthful. A
further sale of lots will take place, we learn, in
March next.
We congratulate or.r friends of South-western
Georgia, upon the encouraging prospects before
them. Thm effects of tlie extension will also be
E ropitious to Macon and Savannah, who we are
appy to know, are beginning to reap the truits of
their enterprise aud liberality.

Lumber Trade of Sataauab.
Savannah Feb. 1G. 1857.
Editors of the Georgian.— Dear Sirs: None of the
city papers which have noticed the speech of S‘ na-
tor Iverson, do justice to the lumber trade of Geor
gia. Darien may be justly considered as the most
important point for the trade in the South. The
Altamaha, the Ohoopee, the Oconee, tbe Qcmulgee.
each running through as fine a pine region as any
in the United States, has afforded Darien in one
year, twenty million feet of timber. If the news
papers would call attention to the market, they
would advance the interest of the State immensely.
Brunswick is furnished w ith timber from Darien,
as Savannah is from the Ogeechee. Then there is
the Satilla liver, which could furnish a large
amount, and her railroad, too must give great ad
vantages. The price of lumber in Darien is largly
below the Savannah price, in consequence of the
want of shipping, yet much is exported to the North
and foreign countries, and the mills are constantly
at work. All the timber deposits are crowded
with rafts, and sales are slowly made at four
months. Help, gentlemen, the hard working
lumber cutters, by calling ai tention to so important
a market. There is no collision iu the lumber
trade. Very respectfully.
Thos. M. Forman.
The note received by Eckel from Cincinnati,
professedly written by the murderer of Dr. Bttr-
dell, brings to mind a similar device used by the
unfortunate Dr. Webster to avert suspicion from
himself.
