“ik«rt Farr/’
The readiness with which the oppo
nents of the Democratic party change front
or “about face”—in military parlance—
has always been a matter of wonder, ex
cept to such close political observers as
knew that it was the very want of piinci-
ple, which made the transition so easy —
As iheir name implies, they are not the
advocates of any measure! their mission
is not to create, hat to destroy. 1 they oppose
simply, whatever the Democracy propose.
Hence, they are the “opposition” party.—
If there >s any advantage in the possession
of a brotui ground—on which all disaffec
ted persons may congregate, for the grat
ification of personal griefs, without swear
ing allegiance to each other—the “oppo
sition” ought to be very strong, if numbers
constitute strength but “motley” has no
strength—nor a mob any wisdom—seldom
any courage. W hen placed before an
organized force, mere opposition—having
no tend of Union—is easily sc at trued.
From the parrot cries which the
“opposition” have made during the last
four years, about the “encroachments of
the slave power,” anil their solemn assev
eration that there should be “no more slave
States,” and other violent conclusions,
probably some simple-minded persons
supposed the “opposition” were really in
earnest! that they meant what they said.
Nothing of the kind, gentle reader. That
was the fashionable phase of their oppo
sition, for the time. They care no more
apout slavery, than they dc for boiled pigs
feet, when there is none available. In
stantly. do they see a prospect of a quar
rel in the Democratic camp, they drop
their brick-bats and dubs, and look to see
which side they will espouse—or, more
correctly speaking, which side of the cotn-
battants w 11 permit them to come into
their camp, it matters not to these “sol
diers of fortune.” which it is. They have
nothing to obstruct their locomotive an in
stant; no baggage — no principles— no
other encumbrance than a pile of sins, such
as Biinvan’s hero staggered under. They
are ready to enlist without knowing the
cause of quarrel—or it informed, absolve
themselves leadily from prior and con
flicting obligations
An unusually rich scene of his nature,
is now being enacted. The “opposition”
are flattering themselves that the Demo
cratic part v is about to he sundered by a
disagreement on the Kansas question!—
They are all agog! their mouths arc. wa
tering for the spoils! their anamosities
against a united Democracy, are hushed!
and although they could never have
dreamed, perhaps; of taking quite such a
leap, at once, they have broken out in full
yell for popular sovereignty, and as many
slave States as may be wanted! They
are very anxious that Senator Douglas
should accept their services—and are pro
testing with all their might, an agreement
with his political faith. Says the New
York Times—in its frantic efforts to catch
the “little giant’s” eye—
“We presume the opposition party will
not hereafter stand upon the ground of re
sistance tc the admission ofany more slave
States. Individuals in the Republican
ranks have held this position, and will do
so still. The platform of 1856 committed
that party to it is so far as territory dedi
cated to freedom by the Missouri Comprom
ise was concerned, and so far as the action
of the presidential campaign was involved.
But platforms are temporary structures—
always designed to serve a purpose, and
tolerably certain to damage the purpose
they intend to serve. They are generally
taken down when they have been used, and
if ihis is not done, they are certain to tum
ble down themselves. It is not likely,
therefore, that the platform of 1856 will do
dutv again for the party that formed it.—
No great party will plant itself hereafter
upon the position that slave States seeking
admission shall he exclude,d because they
are slave St tee, from the Union.”
There is a humble petition for service,
which would do credit to an indignant
chimney sweep! and a confession of hypoc
risy, as humble as Uriah Deep. The
Times slreuM be a “turn spit” in the new
confederation, if it ever takes the field.—
Greelv is not far behind. He has very
little conscience to bother him—and knocks
some of the simple hearted remonstrants at
such treachery, in the Black Republican
camp over the head, with the following cog
ent qnietus:
“Some of the journals, including one or
two that are tepidly republican‘off’ or on,’
are cackling over an alleged abandonment
of principle in the republican vote in Con
gress for the ('rittenden-.Montgomery sub
stitute, because they say it allowsJvansas
to come in as a slave state if she shall pre
fer to do so. 'I here are two severally con
clusive answers to this chuckle: 1. We
know that Kansas does not and will not
prefer to come in as a slave >tate; 2. If
she did, the republicans would violate none
or their cherished principles in allowing it.
Turn to the I’hilidelphia platform, (see
Tribune almanac for 1858 p. 33) scan it
carefully, and you will find there no dec
laration, no protest against the admission
of a Iona fide slave state as such.”
It is evident that Greely left a door ajar
when he built the “Philadelphia platform
for an ulterior movement like the one we
are describing—for he turns to it with the
confidence of one who has a mental reser
vation on the subject. What a party!
what l aders! what presscss* Why even
the miserable organ grinder, who turns
liif crank under your window fora penny
makes not so rapid and irreverent a change
from “Poor Dog Tray,” to “Bop goes the
Weazlo!” The only strange feature in
the case is, that such a mere faction should
find followers! that men, passing for ob
servant and intelligent, should be led
through such a game of “blind man’s buff',”
in politics, passes our comprehension.
“ The Mother Moulds the Man.”—The
following is a particular illustration of this
truth:
“When I lived among the Chocktaw
Indians, I held a consultation with one of
their chiefs respecting the successive
stages of their progress in the arts of civi
lised life, and among other things lie in
formed me that, at the start, they fell into
a great mitsake—they only sent tbei r
boys to school. These boys came home
intelligent men, but they married unedu
cated and uncivilised wives—and the
uniform results was the children were all
like their mothers. The father soon lost
all his interest in both wife and children.
“And now,’ said he ‘if we could educate
bat one class of our children, we should
choose the girl®* for when they become
mothers they educate their sons,” This is
to the point and it is true. No nation can
beeomfe fully enlightened when its mothers
are not in a goo8 degree qualified to dis-
eha r ge the duties of the home work of ed
ucation.
New Granada Knocking at the Door.—
The Attorney General of New Granada,
in submitting the new federal constitution
to the Congress of that republic for its
action, accompanied it by a report advocat
ing the incorporating of New Granada
into the great American Union, under the
same conditions as the States already con
stituting our confederacy a remedy for
the difficulties under which tluj country
now labors. He argues the ease, too,
quite ably, urging that annexation to the
Union will secure external protection for
New Granada, foster internal prosperity,
and place it, generally, in the same condi
tion as New York, Pennsylvania, and the
other States of the confederacy.

Bosks Lotteries in Neic York—Hotc the
Police Arrested the P uprtetors and where
they Pound Them.
Notwithstanding the effectual investiga
tions made by the Mayor’s Squad, under
Sergeants Croft and Birney, with the bo
gus lottery system as carried on in New
York, they have discovered the existence
of three gigantic concerns in our vicinity
who have, in reality, head quarters els-
where. They each publish a weekly pa
per which is mailed to all parts of the
United States and the Canadas by means
of obtaining names from Directories.—
They are as follows:—“Golden Era,” pub
lished by Charles AY. Morton & Co., No.

Wall street. In these journals plans and
schemes are made, but the aetual drawing
never takes place, though, when the time
for drawing comes round, every ticket hol
der is informed that he lias drawn blank so
all seeuis likely and fair.
The houses used in the above three pa
pers are occupied by respectable banking
firms who have nothing to do with these
swindling concerns whatever. 1 housands
of letters have been taken from the post-
office addressed to tire above named par
ties, containing money from persons living
at a distance, who jdr.ee implicit confidence
«in the operations of the bogus concern.—
The letters sent to them hero, it was found,
were remailed to New London and Nor.

dingly followed t!it* case up to the above
cities. At New Loudon he arrested
George A. Pratt, ~eu, George A. Pratt jr.,
and Samuel Freeman, of whom the first
named was the “E. C. Cooper” and pro
prietor of the establishment. lie then
departed for Norwich, Connecticut, and
arrested W, L. B. Richardson, who was
tire. “Olias. AY. Morton” of the concern,
E. Richardson and Geo. S. Wright, who
made up the “Co-” He then proceeded
to another part of the city, and succeeded
in arresting Wiliam B. Pettit and Jona
than AY, Hooker, who represented “J. H.
Hall & Co’s.” Ali of the above were
locked up and, a descent made upon the
printing office of one .Tames W, Forsyth,
where all the three named papers were
printed.
Time the police have succeeded in
breaking up effectually, it is to be hoped,
these swindling firms. The letters coming
to New York addressed to either .of the
above firms have been taken by the
Mayor, and found to contain over 88,060.
There are now remaining in the New' York
citv post office, addressed to the under
written swindling establishments that
have been broken up, letters as follows:
Huntington A: Co, about 6000
E. L. Todd & Co 2,000

I )avid Fierce & son
Nicholas, Hicks & Co
E. Cooper —
J H.Hall & Co
Charles AV. Morton &: Co —
Total 3,475
Of these, over 300 are registered, and
probably the larger portion contain money.
It is wonderful that these, swindling con
cerns should succeed in cheating the coun-
trv people so outrageously. The best
course is to have nothing to do w’ith news-
pajiers which have to resort, to offering
watches and jewelry in order to induce
people to take them. Ten chances to one
the watches will turnout to be brass and
jewelry pinch beck. At all events, iftbe
papers were worth having people would
subscribe to them without magnificent
offers of jewelry. Besides, the encourage
ment of such schemes tends to injure
newspapers which rely upon legitimate
efforts to secure subscribers.

Letter from New Orleans.
The Execution of Stovall—Crime—The Floo4—
The Calico Ball—Lotteries, tc„ he.,
New Orleans. April 11, 1858.
It will he recollected that in October
last George AY. Stovall, murdered his mis
tress in a most brutal manner. The cause,
of tlie crime was jealousy! and Stovall, at
the time of committing the deed was quite
intoxicated. The wretched man w-as a
native of Yirginia, and upwards of sixty
years of age. He bad formerly been a
minister of the Gospel and much respected
hut for some years past led a life of disipa
tioe in this city. At his trial he plead
guilty, and refused to change his plea, al
though amjile time was allowed for that
purpose by the court. The execution of
the unhappy man took place on Friday
last, and was conducted throughout in the
the most solemn ami impressive manner.—
Every effoit was made to procure, a com
mutation of the sentence, but all the ex-
ertionsof of his friends proved unavailing.
The execution even was delayed in the
hope that the Governor miglit at the last
moment be induced to yield to tlie inces
sant pleadings in behalf of the doomed
man.
Before ascending the scaffold, Stovall
briefly addressed those assembled in the
jail-yard, lie acknowledged the deed, de
clared that lie entertained no unkind feel
ing towards tlie governor, and expressed
the hope that his death would be sancti
fied to the salvation of the spectators.—
He had several weeks previously made his
peace with his Alaker, and now (said he)
1 feel that my spirit is like a caged bird,
anxious to escape from its prison, and seek
refuge in tlie paradise of God. He met
his ignominnus death with firmness and re
signation. Thus died a man who might
have been honored in his old age.
There does not seem to be a improvement
in the morals of our city. The records of
our court have presented an array of crime
that is truly frigthful. Murders have been
of frequent occurrence, in the night-time
and in the day-time, and the business of
our courts is increasing at a rapid rate.
For several days past there has been
considerable anxiety and excitement in
consequence of the apprehended giving
way of the levee. There is no mistake as
to the. danger to be apprehended from the
swollen state of the river, and the fact that
there was an overflow'about a mile above
Oarollton should put the proper authorities
on their guard, lest in an unexpected mo
ment the flood should overleap its harriers,
and all the devastating consequences bo
entailed upon us. The danger in the in
stance alluded to was only averted by the
vigorous efforts of a large body of work
men. However, at the present writing
.ve are assured that the danger is nearly
passed. Some of our most experienced
citizens express the belief that a rise of at
least twelve inches above tlie present wa
ter mark would not affect the stability of
e levee.
The weather for the past week has been
seasonable, and the consequence has been
that our excitable citizens have been en
joying it to their heart’s extent. There
have teen balls and parties, drives to the
lake, and their attendant suppers, and, not
the least of all, an uninterrupted promen
ade of the most beautiful ladies in the
world, and, in speaking of these things, I
must not forget the calico hall of the
fourth district and the up-town faubourg.—
Black hair and black eyes predominated,
and the pretty little feet were unrivalled.
In short, the ball was not a New York
humbug; and I would mention for your
benefit alone, that the ladies of the fourth
district have the. reputation of being the
handsomest in theetty.
It is my impression that New Orleans is
the luckiest jilaee in the world. In my
recollection large prizes in the different
lotteries have been drawn in this city six
or seven times in the last few years; and
the most singular thing about it is. that
these prizes have been drawn mainly by
me.i who deserved their luck. And now
it is said that the capital prize of the last
Havanua lottery—a cool hundred thou
sand—has fallen to certain parties in this
city.
This lias been a very gay week, indeed.,
, i <> j Besides the Italian and French operas al
ii e was taken before tlie , . . . . 7 , „ .
ternating at the Orleans theatre, the ballet
at the Varieties, the daily racing over tlie
Metairie course has been continued.—
These races have excited more interest
than for years past, and tlie. daily atten
dance has been unprecedentedly large.

The Burial of (ol. Benton at St. Louis.
St. Louis, April 16.—Yesterday mor
ning the remains of lion. Thomas H.
Benton were conducted by a military es
cort from the residence of Col. Brant to
the Mercantile Library Hall, which had
been appropriately draped with usual bad
ges of mourning; and where they lay in
state till 10 o’clock last night. Business
is suspended generally to-day, the stores
and houses are draped in mourning, and
the streets are already densely crowded
with eager sjiectators. It is estimated that
25,000 persons visited the hall yesterday
to gaze upon the features of the illustrious
dead.
At ten o’clock this morning the re
mains of Mr. Benton were taken from the
hall of the Mercantile Library to the. sec
ond Presbyterian church, where the fun
eral ceremonies were performed by Rev.
Air. Crown, assisted by Rev. Dr. Ander
son and Rev. Air. Brooks A\ hen the
services were concluded the body was
placed in tlie hearse, and wasfollowed to
the Bcllefontaiue cemetery by the most
imposing procession ever formed in St.
Louis/ It consisted of the relations and
friends of tiie family, all the military-
companies of the city, tli e seventh regi
ment of United States infantry, under the
command of Colonel Alorrison, thejudges
of the courts, the members of tlie bar,
tlie members of tbe city government, a
large majority of tlie benevolent societies
of the city, the Turner’s Association, and
an immense coneourse of citizens in car
riages and on foot. The cortege was
fortv-five minutes passing a given point.
Tlie body of AIcDowell Jones, a grand
child of Air. Benton’s, was conveyed to
the tomb at the same time.
The Washington correspondent of tbe
N. Y. Times, in giving a descrijition of
the grand fancy ball at Senator Cwin’s,
says—
“The office of Senator Gwin, also in the
basement, was converted into a punch-
on it, which will almost absorb the value I room, and two gigantic bowls were kept
of the property. Col. Benton was anx
ious that Congress should purchase 1,000
copies of bis Abridgment of tbe Congress
ional Debates, for distributing among the
various State libraries and exchanges.—
He was of opinion that such a purchase
would be constitutional, and would tend
to diffuse a knowledge of political history
of the country. Two members of the
House of Representatives have the mat
ter under consideration, by his request,
and will bring it, at an early day, before
Congress, with, as they think good assu
rance of success.
A rather illiterate clergyman was

At the conclusion of his sermon, he read

o’clock. In explanation of the initials
he said, “My brethern, you will see that
the meeting is to be held D. V,, which I

of McDonougli has also caved in, and the barba
rous waters of the Mississippi have taken sovereign
possession of the place.
The river has made another breach on Mr. Dar-
eeunes’ plantation, in tbe neighborhood of tlie
parish of St. Bernard. If such is the case it is
impossible to calculate the damages it will do; at
this place the current is very strong, and the
quantity ofwater which will pass will be immense.

The Crevasse, at C. O. Me Hal ton's.—The Baton
Rouge Advocate, of the 12th inst , states that this
crevasse occured on Sunday morning. Efforts
were itnme liately made, to arrest it, which con
tinued witli little success up to Monday evening, a
flaiboat one hundred and fifty feet in length having
passed through when an attempt was made to an
chor in the breach. Under tiie direction of Col.
Hebert piling was then commenced.
Col. Stewart informs ns that this crevasse, though
about two hundred feet wide, is not more than two
and-a-half feet deep, and that the boat which pass
ed through was empty and probably drew not
more than fifteen inches of water. Both above
and below the crevasse there is firm soil and good
bottom, which secures against any great extension
of the crevasse, and aids in the efforts to arrest it.
The piling is proceeding rapidly, and the crevasse,
he thinks, will be closed to-morrow.
Part of C. G. McHatton’s and James Mclfatton’s
plantations are covered with water; a few acres
of Col. Hickey’s and a part of the plantation of
Mr. Dogue are also inmindated. Tlie damage is
not as great as was at first feared.

the rumor of a irevassee at Pointe Coupee, taking
place on Monday morning. The break in tlie levee
is said to be serious, and its feared much damage-
will be done.

To the Editor of the N. Y. Herald:
8ir: In a number of your esteemed paper cor
responding to the3 tli of March lastl havejust seen
an article headed “Mexico, and our Relations with
Mexico,” as well as a copy of a letter in which
certain projects are attributed to me regarding
Mexico, in connextiou with Mr. Walker and sev
eral other p rsons.
Hitherto I have abstained from answering any
of tlie articles published in several newspapers of
'my country and this republic, even when unfa
vorable to my name: hut the imputation made
against me in the above-named article of the Her
ald has a character of such extraordinary impor
tance that I am not permitted to pass it by in si
lence.
I must therefore declare to you in most positive
terms, that a complete inaccuracy exists in thein-
formation given to you; that 1 know neither Mr.
Walker nor any of the persons mentioned; that I
am entirely ignorant of their iuteutious; and that
no one has put upon me the offence of speaktngto
me of projects and arrangements in which no man
of my principles can take part.
Ailow me,moreover,Mr. Editor, to express to you
my hope that the enlightened press of this coun
try will not cause sentiments of sorrow to be
mixed up in my mind with the gratitude I owe
the American people for the frank hospitality which
I have found amongst them.
Be kind enough, Mr. Editor, to publish this
short manifestation in your paper, and believe me
to remain, most respectfully, your obedient ser

The MeDonough Negroes.— The New Orleans
“Bulletin” calls attention to the eighty-six negroes
belonging to the McDonough estate. By tin* will
of AIcD. they were to be sent to Liberia after serv
ing fifteen years. Knowing that they are shortly
to he free, these negtoes have become discontented,
refractory and troublesome. They have incurred
the habit of running away, and have fallen into
excesses calculated to deprave their morals and in
jure their health. The Commissioners cannot ex
ercise the supervision of masters over them, and
the consequence is that they are subject to bad
treatment and sometimes severe punishment. The
sum received for their hire is a mere tritie ($12,000)
and no adequale remuneration for the trouble and
expense they afford tlie managers of the estate
The Commissioners reeommfcnd that some recip

The Kansas Conference Committee—No agree
ment probable—The Next Move, A c.—The con
ference Committee on the Kansas bill, from pre
sent appearances, is not likely to 3grce on the
course to be recommended to both houses and an
other committee of conference may' possibly be
asked for. Ur it may be that a new bill, not differ
ing in substance from the Senate bill, but so word
ed as to meet the technical objections of members,
may be submitted and passed.
There is a dearly ascertained majority in favor
of the Senate hill in tbe House. Ail want the sub
ject out of the way, done with ami disposed of for
ever: but personal pride, “sectional honor,” and in
dividual aspirations make them sticklers for forms,
after they aie willing to yield the substance. The
momentary satisfaction of an apparent triumph in
terferes often most sadly with the permanent repu
tation of a legislator and his duty to his party and
his country,
1 lie conference committee will probably report
on Tuesday or Wednesday next, but it may be
that tlie Kansas bill will not be passed before the
close of the session. There is no need of hurrying
the question, and the Administration is quite wil
ling, now that the time for terminating the session
is fixed, to give the members tune for sober reflec
tion, and for cooling down to the point at which
patriotism, large enough to embrace the whole
country, may assert its sway over the passions
produced by an irritating debate and the exagger
ated statements of partizan newspapers.
Meanwhile the government will go on; neither
will itcome to a dead stop if no Kansas bill should
pass this session. Kansas may then wait till she
lias the requisite population, and we shall see
whether the public mind is still willing to lie agi
tated by it. to the exclusion of those important
subjects which will then be b ought to its consid
eration' Thirty millions of people cannot be
humbugged forever by a question which is al
ready practically decided, and in reality a past
issue.
Mr. Toombs’ bankrupt law, tlio termination of
our troubles in Utah, the regulation of our some
what involved South American relations, the Bill-
wer treaty and our new policy in regard to Central
America, our relations with Mexico and Spain and
the posible peaeful acquisition of that island,
which in our possessions, would make the Gulf
of Mexico a marr elusion—these are considerations
• •f an infinitely higher import than all the stuff
about Kansas with which the people have been
entertained ami crammed till their stomachs will
no longer hear it.
Private letters from Europe represents matters
there very unsettled, and the European pentarchv
anything but a unit. With domestic peace and a
cordial understanding between the different sec
tions of our country, the United States would
throw a weight into the balance of powers, that
would be felt from one end of the globe to the
other, But we quarrel about beans at home, and
lose sight of empire abroad. How long shall
Kansas degrade us in the eyes of the world?
The Atlanta Intelligencer If Examiner of
tne 17th inst, contains the valedictory of its
late efficient Editor, Major J. H. Sktele.
The proprietors of the paper, Messrs
Duncan & Lochrane, thus refer to his re
tirement:
As will he seen from the above, we to
day lose the valuable services of Alaj. J.
li. Steele in the management of the edi
torial department of our paper. He has
for a long time been known in connection
with the press of this city, and lias, we can
truly say, deserved well of all those whose
interests he has sedulously promoted. His
retirement from his late position is influ
enced by motives personal to himself. AVe
hope that in whatever futurelabors he may
be engaged, he may be as successful in
advancing his own interest as he has here
tofore been in promoting that of the public.
He carries with him the best of feelings on
breathe defiance against the army destined for
their subjugation; and, instead of the submissive
attitude of penitent rebels, they assume an air of
injured innocence, and actually demand conces
sions from the federal government!
The eomoarative indifference with which this
rebellion in Utah is regarded by the people and
government of the United States affords a striking
illustration of the elasticity and strength of our
institutions. It is the moderation and composure
of conscious invincibility. If any such revolt were
to uccttr iu Europe, the menaced authority would
betiay the utmost alarm, and all its resources would
lie employed to crush out the insurrection. The
political pulse at the Bourse would indicate tlie
excitement of the system. The prestige of the
government would be impaired. Distrust w ould
be exhibited in every relation of life.
None of these consequences have resulted from
the Mormon difficulty. Although a Territory is in
actual revolt against the federal authority, and a
collision between the insurgents and the army is
impending, yet nobody appears to watch tbe pro
gress of the dispute with solicilude or to show any
concern about its issue. The funds do not
fluctuate; the public press is preoccupied by other
questions: Congress and the Executive pursue
the even tenor ot their way as if no extraordinary
emergency challenged their attention; and the peo
ple quietly follow their usual avocations iu ap
parent ignorance of the flame of civil feud on the
western border of the country. This singular
equanimity attests the popular confidence in the
strength of our institutions. It implies a general
conviction that the structure is too solid and stable
to he affected by any slight perturbation.
The event will justify the instinctive security of
the public mind. We believe the administration
have adopted the wisest policy to the end of sup
pressing the Mormon revolt. They ap| roach the
rebelliuus Territory with a sword in one hand and
tlie olive branch in the other. They neglect no
expedient of conciliation before resorting to
measures of violence. At the suggestion, we
believe, of a representative from South Carolina,
the President has appointed commissioners to
precede the army with an offer of am esty. It was
a happy thought with Mr. Boyce; and we are not
surprised that a statesman of Mr. Buchanan’s
sagacity should instantly act upon it. As no
concession or compromise is ineteuded, at worst
the expedient can only result in leaving matters in
their present position. It may avert the necessity
ota collision between the insurgents and tlie army.
If it fail, however, the blame of precipitating
an issue ot force will not attach to the govern
ment.
But, if the praiseworthy efforts of the Executive
to maintain tlie supremacy of the law in Utah are
to be effective the legislative depart ment of the
government must he something less dilatory in ac
cording its assistance. For want of necessary sup
plies tie progress of the expedition has been ar
rested, thus exhibiting an appearance of weakness
which will stimulate the rebels to a more obstinate
tesistence. In all probability a prompt and
adequate demonstration of force would awe the
Mormons into submission, and prevent tlie effusion
of blood and tiie scandal of civil strife. Whilst
our army is cumjielled'to an inglorious pause in
their very pr»sence, they have leisure to complete
their preparations of defence. So every motive of
policy urges Congress to an immediate response to
the requisitions of the Executive.
We know the deficiency bill is objectionable in
some of its details, insomuch, perhaps, as to justify
resistance to its passage under ordinary circum
stances. But this is a critical emergency. The
Jronor of the country has sustained an injury which
demands instant redress. The authority of the
government is set at naught The army despatch
ed to vindicate its laws and quell insurrection is
iu urgent need of reinforcement. Let Congress
first discharge the pressing obligations imposed
upon them by this state of affairs, and then they
may resent the executive encroachments on the
power of appropriation. After they have sup
pressed the rebellion and chastised the insurgents,
they may provide against any future, invasion of
their prerogatives. .Meanwhile any senator who
votes for the deficiency bill may put himself right
on tlie record by a personal explanation.
The argument iu 'favor of the bill is infinitely
strengthened by its passage through the House.
Then objection to its details were perfectly in
order; and, indeed, it was the duty oi members to
exert themselves to correct its errors and restrain
its abuses. But the Senate is not the peculiar
custodian of the public money. That is the func
tion of the House of Representatives, and the
House of Representatives lias given its sanction to
the deficiency bill We do not mean to affirm that
there is any obligation in the Senate to accept
appropriation bills without question or scrutiny.
We only intend to say that as the House of h'epre-
sentatives has passed the deficiency bill, the Senate
should yield to the urgent necessities of the public
service, and not hazard the welfar of tiie country
by a superlative respect for technical difficulties.
If the bill be defeated now, it must be sent back
for ratification to the other branch of the federal
legislature—a proceeding which will involve an
embarrassing delay, if not the loss of the measure.
Under these circumstances it must he a very
grave and essential objection, indeed, which will
justify the Senate in refusing to pass the deficiency
bill. We do not believe they will be driven to any
such perplexing alternative.

From Wiliiam P. Wright's Circular,
Chop.—The estimates from tbe South continue
to range at about 3,0iUt,l)0!t bales, some slightly
below and others slightly above this figure, but as
tbe season draws to a close, the interests in tlie
extent of the present crop is becoming merged in
the more important questions as to tlie prospects
of tlie next. The weather in the South since the
loth March has been all that could be desired for
planting and forwarding the young crop. The
overflow alluded to in my last circular is con
firmed; the risk took place simultaneously in the
Red and Arkansas rivers, causing the overflow in
the Mississippi; it is too soon to obtain precise, in
formation on the subject, but it appears to have
been caused chiefly by the melting of the snow on
the eastern side of the Rocky mountains a month
earlier than usual. The following particulars
prove it will be of short duration. At Memphis
the main river began to fall on the 6th inst.. and
was failing rapidly at the same time at tiie mouth
i f Ohio; at St. Louis the water was not high at any
tune; tho Upper Mississippi was also falling, and
the Missouri was quite low; the flood will therefore
soon run out of the lower Mississippi, and there
will be ample time to replant upon any places
which have been flooded.
Receipts.—For the week 77,000 bales, against
5C,0ttu same week last year. The total is 2,517,-
000, against 2,678,Olid to tlie corresponding period
last year The deficit is thereby reduced to 101,000
bales; next week the deficit will be again reduced,
aud will probably stand about 125,000 bales. As
we learn by telegraph, from Mobile and New Or
leans, that for tho week ending last Friday, the
reeepts in both were 47,500 bales, against a total
at all riie ports l'ur the corresponding week last
year of but 29,000. At New Oileans the receipts
already show an excess of 13,000 bales, as compared
with last year; at Mobile an excess will soon be
apparent, In the Atlantic ports the deficit, as
compared with lastjyear, is still large, though this
will be lessened as soon as the stock in the interior
towns—which is in excess of last year at same
time—arrives at the ports.
Exports —To Great Britain are again on a
largo scale, being for the week 68,000 bales; the ex
cess as compared with last year, is now 27,000
bales, and will be further increased next week, as
w e learn by telegraph that tiie clearances from
Mobile and New Orleans for a week later amount
to 70,006 bales—the total for the week will exceed
t'5,000 bales—against 40,000 bales in the cor
responding week last year. To France and tlie
Continent the quantity exported this week is
small, and the total to the European Continent
shows a greater falling of!’each week, as compared
with last year.
SUMMARY—Receipts—Decrease at the ports
compared with last year, 101.000 bales Exports.
—Increase to Great Britain 27,000 bales: decrease
to 1- ranee, 51,000; decrease to other foreign ports,
80,000' Total decrease in exports, 110,UU0 bales.
Tie Conference Committee.—Tlie Committee of
conference on the bill to admit Kansas into the
Union had a meeting yesterday morning. It is
said that the majority of the Senate Committee
submitted several propositions, all of which were
rejected, and that an adjournment followed until
to-day, when Mr. English will introduce a new bill.
It was observed yesterday that an extraordinary
excitement prevailed in the ranks of the opposition
alliance, especially in tne republican portion of it.
The occasion thereof has not transpired, although
it is surmised the alarm was caused by a possibili
ty that the Committees of conferenca would agree.
Another rumor also prevailed that the republicans
had determined to abandon the Crittenden bill,
and hereafter to oppose the admission of Kansas
altogether. At all events, there was marked con
fusion among the republicans and private caucus
ing of a most animated character was kept up in
the House Hall during ils session yesterday. A
few auti Leeompton democrats were observed to
be among the most active participants in these
caucuses, manifesting by their actions an extreme
degTee of alarm.—Washington Union.
The Presbyterian General Assembly.—The Old
School General Assembly of the Presbyterian
Church hold their meeting this year at New Or
igins, commencing on the 6th of May. All the
railroad aud steamboat lines leading to that city
have agreed to grant free return tickets to the
delegates (they paying full prices on their way to
New Orleans,) except tbe Georgia Railroad from
Atlanta to Augusta, the Michigan Southern and
Northern Indiana from Chicago to Toleda, and
the Michigan Central from Chicago to Detroit.

From the Savannah Georgian, CDem.; April 13,
To Icaars. Howell Cohh, Robert loo mbs and
Alex. H. Stephens,
A suspicion has existed in the public mind at
the South, that a fraud and imposition has been
practiced upon the country.by Gen. Calhoun, of
Kansas, iu first declaring the election iu favor of
the pro-slavery party, and subsequently, at a very
critical juncture in political affairs, reversing this
decision. Senator Iverson, in the course of a
speech delivered in the U. S. Senate, declared that
Calhoun was induced to make this last decision by
Southern men, and though the charge is a griev
ous one, he failed to name tlie parties alluded to.
This suspicion has grown almost into a positive
conviction All of you, together with Mr. Thomp
son ot Mississippi, are charged with beiug the par
ties guilty of this transaction.
The Washingtion correspondent of The South
Carolinian makes the following charge;
“It is said that Calhoun was urged in the strong
est possible manner, to make the decision lie has
made, by three prominent political characters from
Georgia, and one from Mississippi. 1 will not
mention their names—doubtless it will come out
as a part of the history of the times.”
The Montgomery (Ala.) Mail plainly intimates
that the individuals referred to by the "correspond
ent of the South Carolinian, are Mr. Cobb, Secre
tary of the Treasury, Mr. Thompson, Secretary of
the Interior, and Messrs. Toombs and Stephens.—
We had information to the same effect, but not be
ing authorized to use names, we forbear laying it
before tbe public.”
Tiie extract is taken from an editorial in the
Charleston Mercury, and is substantiated by that
journal, which is considered reliable aud well in-
foimed upon political subjects.
All of you are Southern men, and have been ele
vated to your positions by constituencies who be
lieved they were electing men who would faithful
ly and fearlessly guard the great interests confided
to their keeping. One of you are a member of the
Cabinet, and responsible iu part for the honesty and
good faith of the administration in carrying out
that policy laid down before and al’tcrils inaugura
tion. Another is a Senator from Georgia, repre
senting a State whose people are pledged to resist
any attempt upon the part of the Government to
deprive them of their rights and privileges. The
last is the representative of a District whose peo
ple do not differ in opinion from their brethren
throughout the State. You are all democrats, and
stand (dodged before the country to support and
maintain the doctrines aud principles of the Demo
cratic Party
You will readily percieve the interest that the
people of Georgia must feel iu knowing the cor
rectness or falsity of the charge laid to your ac
counts—and will we trust as readily appreciate the
importance upon your parts to meet it with a de
nial or an admission. We express no opinion as
to its probable truth or error, for we are in posses
sion of no further evidence than that furnished in
this article, and such a course upon our part would
fail to satisfy tlie public mind.
These are troublesome times to Georgia, to the
South, and to the Democratic party, whose exis
tence depends upon its ability to execute its pledg
es to the country. It is meet that the Soutli should
know her friends, and how far they may be relied
upon in this emergency. We. therefore, iu the
name and behalf of the people ot Georgia aud of
the democracy of the State, call upon each aud all
ot you to answer the charges preferred against you.
We do not include Mr. '1 hotupson in this case, for
the reason that we imagine, tlie people of Missis
sippi wiil demand of him an explanation of the
fact that his name is nut connected with yours in
the charge.
“We clip tlie foregoing, from our Georgia ‘Amer
ican Exchanges.’ (which publishes it in an ecstacy
of delight.) merely to express our hearty and un
mitigated disgust with it—from the beginning to
tbe ending—from the first to the last! No publi
man should be held exempt from just criticism or
merited censure, and the Telegraph will be among
the last to pin an implicit faith to any man or set
of men. But when it comes to impeaching the fi
delity to their own section of such men as Toombs
Stepln ns, Cobb, Ac on tbe authority of anony
mous newspaper squibs—when we find such a
democratic, impeachment paraded with undisput
ed joy by so called American newspapers side by
side with glorifications of Crittenden and Bell? it
is a little too much, and we feel like starting a hiss.
If the time ever comes when such men as these—
identical in every way and by tbe strongest possi
ble ties with the South, may be trusted—must be
watched and dogged about on such slight occa
sions—held to answer on evidence carefully cu
mulated by patching extracts from anonymous pen
ny-a-liners, and so peited with doubts, questions,
aud suspicions by their own political friends;—if
character and reputation acquired by years of pat
riotic and consistent public service, is to be cloud-
ec by such a breath—why, character is worth
nothing, nobody can be trusted and we miglit as
well go into liquidation and bankruptcy at once
For our part, until we see good reason to the
contrary, we shall commit the business of assailing
and wounding our own political household entire
ly to the enemy, whatever disposition others may
show to exercise such striking marks of affection
upon friends. It was only a few weeks ago. that
there was a similar assault on the evidence of (Iip
correspondent of the Picayune, and but just now
one portion of the democratic press have finished
rubbing out the black marks against Col. Ward,
which had been set down by the other- It is a poor,
silly and thankless business, be it ever so well fol
lowed. Zounds, isn’t it refreshing to see Stephens.
Cobb aud Toombs called on to let the South know
whether they an: her friends or not .’.’!
We hope the gentlemen so solemnly arraigned
on slight authority, will not condescend a reply.—
The people of Georgia will clear Messrs. Toombs,
Stephens and Cobb, of the charge of treason to the
interests of Georgia, on the faith of their public re
cord and without the certificates of the Montgome
ry Mail and those important gentlemen, tho news
paper correspondents. As for the attempt to in
voive Senator Iverson, as authority for such a
charge, that we conceive is sufficiently exploded
in the following significant paragraph from the
Times & Sentinel.—Georgia Telegraph.
The charge against Cobb, Toombs and Stephens
—Washington correspondents to Southern Jour
nals, have alleged, that Messrs. Cobb. Toombs and
Stephens advised Mr. Calhoun, the President ot
the Leeompton Convention, to throw out the Do"
aware Crossing Precinct Returns, thereby givin
the free-soilers the State of Kansas. We have not
alluded to this heretofore, because we thought it
mere idle gossip, and had too much faith iu the in
tegrity and h mesty of these men to believe, that
they would counsel or advise Mr. Calhoun to pur
sue any sucli course. We feel called upon now to
say. from the general character of the rumor, that
we. have reliable information that it is not true,
and they had nothing to do with Mr. Calhoun’s
giving his award. Let this suffice.

was greatly relieved, and in three weeks I was per
