S., in Japan, narrating the events of his first offi cial visit to Yoddo, which the reader will find to be a document of singular interest. Ho will find it on the first page. This functionary has gained great honor to himself and, we trust, ad vantage to the country by the intelligence, sa gacity, tact and patient application with which he has pursued the objects of his mission; and there is no small honor to him and to the gov ernment in the fact that he was the first foreign diplomat to obtain admlision to that exclusive court, and an audience with the Emperor. The reflecting man must regard, as among the most extraordinary events of the age—events which seem to indicate a Providential interposition— that all those hitherto impregnable barriers of oriental isolation, which from unknown ages have, as it were, hermetically scaled nearly half the human race against the other, seem sudden ly disappearing like frost before the sun, to open upon the world a future of almost unrestricted commercial intercourse. What this is to effect in the next half century with the aid of steam and telegraph will leave apparently wild conjec ture far behind the actual result We call this a “fast age,” but the remainder of the 19th cen tury will laugh at its beginning.

The murder casevfrom Lee, which was before the Court when we went to press on Monday last, was concluded on Tuesday. The Court granted Thomas, who was the defendant below, a new trial Thomas is in Cuba, but we suppose he will now re turn and stand a second trial. On Monday morning, the Court, Judge Lump kin pronouncing the opinion, reversed a decision of Judge Kiddoo, by which a tax of two hundred per cent, on State Tax, levied by the Inferior Court of Terrell county, to raise funds to pay for county buildings, was held to be valid and legal The facts were as follows : The Inferior Court of Terrell county, in August, 1888, ordered a coun ty tax to be enforced of two hundred and sixty per cent., fifty per cent, for county purposes, ten for bridges, and two hundred for county buildings. Jesse* Davis, et alios, resisted the payment of the two hundred per cent, tax, and filed a bill enjoining the Court and Tax Collector from col lecting the same. The complainants showed that the county, so far firom being in debt for county buildings, had paid for the Court House, and only owed thirteen hundred dollars for the Jail, and had on hand in the County Treasury, at the rime the two hundred per cent was imposed over and above all other debts, four thousand dollars in cash and notes, be- TIic Melancholy Accident By which one of the Marsh Children lost her life in this place last week, is probably known to all our readers. On Wednesday, as the cur tain dropped in condusion of one of the Scenes of the Naiad Queen, Miss Mary Marsh, in the act of retreating backward from the audience, came in contact with the flame ofa light—set fire to a gossamer dress, and was so severely burn ed before it could be extinguished that she died the following evening. Onc.of her young com panions and Mrs. Marsh were also burned in as sisting her, but not dangerously. The alarm and excitement among the audience was veiy great for a little time, but was soon quieted and the performance stopped. Never too Late. The New York Times Washington correspon dent undertakes to say that the President is love smitten at last by a young Georgia widow, relict of a gallant army officer, who took her rise some where not far from the classical city of Athens—a lovely Athenian. The Times talks about the “altar,” and complains that the President is now actually the best dressed young man in Washington. Advertisements. Messrs.

Weed's stock of Agricultural Implements comprehends every thing that can possibly be required by planter or gardener. Nothing could be more complete. We are pleased to sec they have every variety of subsoil ploughs, which have not yet been sufficiently introduced into Georgia to establish a popularity. They will be much used when our planters know how much better their lands stand drought after subsoil ing. There is hardly any implements so use ful to planters as these will provo to be, on a fair trial B. A.

Jews: \ / interft / taxes aides several valuable town lots in Dawson, was suggested, in the course of the argument, and alluded to by Judge Lumpkin in his opinion, that the real object of levying this extra two hundred per cent, was not to pay for county buildings, but to meet the interest, which would become due on certain Rail Road Bonds upon which the county wisliiblc. The points made by the Dsfts. in error, (the county), were, that the Inferior Court under the act of 1886-7, authorizing them to levy a tax for county purposes, bad the right to levy for two hundred per cent.; held by the Court that a tax or county buildings did not come within the aeope, and meaning of the words for county purposes.— Dcfts. in Error also contended that the complain' ant in the Bill had no remedy in law or Equity against the payment of the tax, and relied upon the twenty-first section of the Tax Act of 1804 to sustain the point. The clause referred to is as fol* “And no replevin shall lie, or any judicial interference be bad, in any levy or distress for taxes under this few.” Held by the Court that the clause did not refer to this case. The tax levied by the Court being a special tax under a special law—and not authorized to be levied under the act of 1804 or any amend ments thereto. The Court, therefore, reversed the judgment holding the two hundred per cent, tax to be ille gal, and the remedy pursued by the complainants a legal one. Judge Lumpkin embraced the opportunity to amplify somewhat on the agragrian tendencies of the times, the injustice of taking money out of the pocket of one class to enrieh another, and in a forcible ana cluqwiit manner urged the neoeeai ty of great caution in the exercise of the taxing power; the court was disposed to restrict, and not enlarge, the power of municipal corporations in the imposition of taxes, and alluded to the heavy burdens which the people of New York and other cities are compelled to pay for reckless and ex travagant expenditures of corporate authorities, We wish the'decision, as delivered, could have been heard by every citizen of the State. It met with the hearty assent of the Bar. We arc glad to see the Court taking this position, and we are very sure they will be cordially sustained by the people of Georgia. The Court will be in session for three weeks. All the cases on the South Western docket have been argued and the Pataula doeket is being called in its order. The Chattahoochee will be reached during the present and the Macon the last of next week.’ Senator Johnson’s Speech ami SO ON. Hon. Andy Johnson, Senator from Tennessee, has lately on the Pacific Rail Road Bill, deliv ered one of the most curious, unique, rambling, speeches we lutve read in many a year. This Senator, Andy as be is familiarly called, is in many respects no ordinary person. He sprung from the loins of the masses—workedat the tailor’s trade until after his marriage, and it is said is indebted to his wife for teaching him to read and write—served in the legislature of Tennessee—was a Representative in Congress for two or three sessions—was Governor of Ten nessee for two terms, and last year was elected over all the ablest men in the State a U. S. Senator. Without the advantage of early edu cation he has, by assiduous application and pa tient industry, stored his mind with much use ful information. He is said to be the most ex pert, adroit and successful stump orator in his State, nc is gentle as a lamb ar.d fearless as a lion. In politics he is a Jackson Democrat of the old school lie is opposed to West Point— favors the election o'f Judges of the Supreme Court by the people—desires to bring the elec tion of President directly before the people without the intervention of the Electoral Col lege. These are some of his jobies. He is honest, inflexible, patriotic, and constant in his attention to his public duties. In the speech to which we allude, he starts on the Pacific Road, touches the Cincinnati Platform, pitches into the Conventions and cau- cusses, denounces the extravagances and corrup. tion of the Government—eulogises economy and a reduction of expenses—descants upon scrub candidates for the Presidency—eulogises Jackson and Calhoun—asserts before the Sen ate that ho was bom a plebeian and rejoices over it—denounces what he calls the “pettifogger flattering that runs around Senators,” and winds up in the following style. There are many good things in the speech—much sound doc. trine—somo things that smack of Demagogism —some in bad taste, but on the whole the good largely outweighs the bad, and we would advise our readers to get the speech and judge for themselves. The speech winds up after this fashion : “We have got to making Presidents in mod ern times, so that nobody knows who is safe. I do assure the Senator that I prefer to discharge my duty faithfully as an honest representative of the States or the people. Occupying that position—the Senate will par ion me for the ex pression, and I do not use it in a profane sense —when contrasted with being President of the United States, I say damn the PrcsidencyJ; it is not worthy of the aspirations of a man who believes in doing good, and is in a position to serve his country by popularizing her free in- instiutions.

The Presidency is the absorbing idea, the great Aaron’s rod that swallows up every other tiling; and hence we see the best legislation for the country impaired, ruined and biased.” New Map of Georgia, by James It. BUTTS. Our friend Butts is g$od at every thing he un dertakes. He was a first rate Steam Boat man —he made one of the best Surveyor Generals tho State hie ever had, and now, lo and behold, out he conus with toe most beautiful accurate, and comprehensive Map of our noble State, that has ever been gotten up. Every body ought to buy this Map. Every man who owns land in Geor gia, who has Railroad or Bank Stock, who is interested in gold, copper or ooal mines—every Georgian who has any State pride, and who wants to know the Geography of his State— every head of a family should have it where he and his household can refer to it at all times. It contains all the new counties created by the last Legislature—it has the numbers ofjhc lots of land in the various counties of Southern and Northern Georgia. In fact, it is just what every professional and business man should have by him. The State ought to take a large number of copies, to supply every county in the State with one, and for distribution among our sister States from whom wo reeeivo similar compli ments. The Map is sold at ten dollars, and is well worth the money. A mere glance at it will give a stranger a better idea of Georgia—of her public works— her lines of Rail Road—her noble charities—her rivers and mountains, and the magnificent sca nty of the Northern portion of the State, than any twenty books he might read on the subject. We cordially recommend the Map to the favor of the public. Arrival of the Arabia. The Arabia arrived on Friday with Liverpool dates to the 25th.

Speaking of “negroes’ crops," the sales of which our contemporaries arc chronicling in various amounts, the largest sale which has come to our knowledge is one made in Macon week before last, by Messrs. Jonathan Collins ft Son, for tho negroes of Allen McWalker's es tate, in Taylor county. The crop was of Nan keen cotton and brought $1,969 05, a sum of money which might never have readied the darkies, if it had passed into the hands of many a noisy abolition sympathiser in the North over the “wrongs of the slave.” These negroes' crops arc a feature of the “pe culiar institution," which seems entirely to have escaped the notice ofjthejUrdc Toms and Aunt Tabithas; and it is probably not saying too much to affirm that in the vast majority of Cases the Southern negro’s little peculium is not only more secure, but larger, than it would be were he a free laborer, subsisting himsdf on wages, and disposed to perform the same amount of toil which is now required of him. But the truth is, Sambo will not work, if allowed to have his own way, and tho negro’s crop in a state of freedom would not feed him, much less put a round sum of money in his purse. Now, wo hold it to be the great wonder of human folly and delusion, that a system which takes the most unintelligent labor in the world and places it in this comfortable and profitable condition, should have concentrated Jon itself the almost universal denunciations of tho civilized world. Wo say tho fact constitutes in itself the stupen dous achievement of human folly, and it can be accounted for only on the hypothesis that mankind are governed by prejudice and will look at names a great deal more than things. If human intelligence and ingenuity were put on the stretch to devise a system by which the African laborer could be best provided for as things stand in this fallen world, they would foil of finding a materially better ono than al ready exists in these Southern States. But it is a state of “slavery”—so nominated in the bond—and Exeter Hall goes into spasms on the rcord, but has not a sigh over a social system in Europe which exacts twice as much from white laborers and leaves them still the slaves of want and destitution. Let all abolitiondom, in and out of the United Kingdom, be challeng ed for a parallel case, where a few laborers on an estate, after feeding and clothing themselves comfortably, are able to bring to market and dispose of, on their own account a crop, worth $20001 Docs any’one believe a single such case could be found? And yet sudi, or approxi mate, results arc common here. And these “negroes crops’’ after all, constitute, ordinarily, only a portion of tlicir little incomes. Like the market woman in the song they “have eggs for to sell” poultry, rude, but useful household wares, ftc., Ac., and frequently swell up in this way a revenue which would, no doubt, look al most princely in the eyes of half the white farm laborers of Europe. Andy is not only thus plain in speech, but lie is plain evciy way. An editorial confrere in a neighboring State, who had conceived a great partiality for him unseen, was on bis way, in 1856, to tho great and glorious Cincinnati Con. vention, and having occasion to pass through Nashville, determined to mako Gov. Johnson the subject of particular and respectful atten tion. Accordingly, after a good night’s rest and a clean shirt, he sallied forth on a bright Saturday morning to the Capitol of all the Ten nessee's. It was early’, and he found the halls deserted. His foot foil returned a noisy and empty echo through the long passages, and not a face or voice greeted him. Every Chamber door was hard locked, save one, bearing the label “Executive Chamber” and standing ajar. He pushed this open, and saw, as he supposed, a servitor, busy in “putting tilings to rights”— arranging books and papers. lie entered, took a scat unasked, and struck up a lively, banter ing conversation with “John,” in which ho com mented freely on the Governor—his virtues, faults and foibles—inquired into his habits—and expressed himself freely about his surroundings —the meanness of the office furniture, ftc., ftc. —all of which John responded and confessed to, with the utmost good humor and complaisance: At lost, it struck our friend to enquire when the Governor might be expected in the office, and wc need not say what was the effect, when the aforesaid John, then and there, with a smack of good humored malice playing around the cor. ners of his mouth, made his best bow, and an nounced himself as Governor Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee. Our friend felt horribly for while, but the good humor of the Governor re stored his composure in the course of half an hour, and he left with a still more exalted opin ion of the virtues and talents of Andrew John son, of Tennessee. as follows from the proceedings of the Spanish Chamber of Deputies: .’’Ourmailof this morning brings us the an swerof the Spanish government and Legisla ture to our advances, even before we have taken the first step. In the Spanish Chamber of Dep uties, M. Ulloa asked the government: “ ‘If it intends to reply to the message of Mr. Buchanan, inasmuch as in that message is paragraph on the subject of annexing Cuba to the United States, which contains a new and really grave insult to the Spanish nation.’ Marshal O’Donnell declared that the govern ment was disposed to demand due satisfaction for such an insult “In its relations with the United States, as in those with all other countries, it has always endeavored to be circumspect, moderate, reserv ed, but always dignified and firm, as the gov emment of a great people ought to be. “The period of discouragement caused by war and disunion has ceased in Spain. Our country is now positively in an era of develope- ment and veritable restoration. If the power of Spain be not great enough to menace, it is strong enough to defend the integrity of the monarchy, and to preserve the dignity of the Spanish name without stain. “In whatever circumstances the Spanish na tion may find itself; it will > n Hie future, as in the past, never be insensible to its honor; never will it abandon the smallest portion of its terri tory, and a proposition having that tendency will always be considered by the government as an insult to the Spanish people. (Applause.) “The sentiment of nationality, which was supposed to be weakened, and which, unhappi ly was slightly weakened by our intestine dis cords—this sentiment, the source of high deeds and of generous and heroic aspirations, displays now new vigor, and is increasing in such a way that, whilst we will never be aggressive, and never aspire to dominate, we will never allow any encroachment to be made on the inheri tance left us by our fathers. (Approbatioa) Mr. Olazaga, in bis own name, and that of several other eminent members representing the the different political parties then proposed this resolution: ‘The Congress declares that it has received with satisfaction the declaration of the Minister of Foreign Affairs; and that it is disposed to give to toe government its constant support, in order to maintain toe integrity of the Spanish dominions. “The resolution was unanimously adopted, and ordered to be inscribed in the archives.” And on the force of this declaration, Mr. Se ward is actually facetious ! We did not think it was in him to attempt anything of the sort; hut toe fact is undisguised—stands out in bold relied With much labor and many words of thorough and learned elaboration, Mr. Seward il lustrates and compares the thirty million ap propriation to buy Cuba, with the well known purchase by Mrs. Toodlcs of a brass door plate with toe name “Thompson” thereon, to provide against the rather remote contingencies of a daughter—a daughter grown up—a daughter married—married to a man named Thompson, and he spelling it with a P. This unwonted developement of. toe New York Senator should not be lost to the world. It should be cherish ed, preserved, hung up in toe Sun to dry. On the other band, it was thrown out in de bate, and in report too, that Spanish lawgivers and diplomats are (unlike all others wc suppose) not to be held to mean all or precisely what they say, and that in point either of actual fact or pregnant conjecture, the President had pri vate information on thcsubjcct,not in possession of mankind in general. So the New York Her ald hints with violence. If France, England and Spain fulminated over the President’s mes sage on Cuba, they will find still more food for fury in Senator Slidell’s report and the Senate debate thereon, if the thirty million proposition be in fact merely gratuitous. We shall see. Tiic Conflict begun. TIic Cuban DEBATE IN THE SENATE—SPEECH OF MR. SEWARD OF NEW YORK, AND MR. TOOMBS OF GEORGIA. The all absorbing and paramount question of the day is, shall Cuba be acquired and how The newspapers are full of rumors and gossip and statistics about Cuba—Correspondents write about it—people talk about it, politicians speak about it Cuba i&the topic on the exchange—in the street—in toe taverns—in public assemblies —everywhere the talk is Cuba. The Senate of toe United States now have toe great question before them. Mr. Slidell from toe Committee on Foreign Relations having made a majority re port in favor of placing at the disposal ofthc Pres ident thirty millions of dollars to be used in bring ing about thcacquision of that valuable Island, introduces it formally into toe Senate. Mr. Sew ard of New York, made a minority report and followed in opposition to the Slidell programme. Mr. Mason of Virginia made a few remarks, the purport of which was that ho was not commit ted ; he wanted to waif the amount of which was that he was opposed to toe movement Mr. Seward's speech, which was carefully prepared, opened the great debate on the great question of too day. Mr. Bayard of Delaware, and Mr. Toombs of Georgia, replied in support of tho majority re port Mr. Hale concluded in toe role of toe Sen ate’s jester. We regret that our want of space prevents us from publishing toe speeches of Mr. Seward and Mr. Toombs side by sicle. The one is the speech of a partizan—toe oth er of a patriot—the one is the effort of a political Perduclor, toe other of a Statesman; toe first is toe work of a man fighting for spoils—the other that of a Senator laboring for toe good of toe Republic. The first appeals to the fears, to the cowardice and toe pocket nerve ofthc peo ple, the other invokes their chivalry, their man hood and their generosity. The one smells of toe lamp, the other is fresh from the rich mine of impulsive genius. The Senator from New York is verbose, pe dantic, subservient and insincere. The Sena tor from Georgia is fervid, terse, logical inde pendent and undissembling. Wo have read Mr. Toombs’ speech with mark ed pleasure. It was evidently delivered upon the spur of the moment, but nevertheless it is ono of those brilliant scintillations of a great intellect, upon a great occasion, which makes more lame and accomplishes more good than toe studied efforts of years. We publish the speech as reported in the Congressional Globe, and advise all our readers to peruse it The doctrines are sound—the facts arc true —the argument is irresistible. Mr. Toombs in this speech reflects the opinions and the feel ings of the people North, L ist, South and West —and we are surprised that the Virginia States- Virginia press give the programme men and tl _ . *•* I a oolil .-boulder. 1 low stands Gov.

The Columbus Sun, after quoting toe act of the Legislature, creating a commission to co dify the laws, says: “In no port of the act is there a word wliicli, by the most forced con struction, can be coiistrued, to authorize the ap pointment by toe Governor. Then we must conclude, toe appointments recently made by Gov. Brown arc illegal and the appointees no more authorized to draw up a code of laws for Georgia than any other citizen of the State.” If our usually correct cotemporary had looked into the constitution of toe State, Article 11, section 9th, he would have seen that “when any office shall become vacant by death, resig nation or otherwise, tho Governor shall have power to fill such vacancy.” That the place of commissioner, under the art, is an office, we ap prehend our neighbor will not deny, and there fore the appointments made by the Governor are not illegal. The appointments, however, expire with the meeting of the Legislature, and that august assemblage will under the act, elect Commissioners. Wc have no doubt the gentle men selected by the Governor will be elected by tho Legislature. The Savannah Journal of Mcdi- CINE—EDITORS, J. S. SULLIVAN, M. D., J URIAH HARRISS, M. Q.—ASSOCIATE EDITOR, R. D. ARNOLD, M. D. We arc in receipt of too January number of this interesting and valuable Journal, and take great pleasure in recommending it to toe pat ronage of the public. The very able and practical article on “what constitutes unsoundness in toe negro,” by Ju riah Ilarriss, JL D., ought to be in toe library of every lawyer in toe country. An article on convulsions in children treated with sulphate of quinine, by Dr. Hunter of Jeflcrson county, one of the most promising young physicians in toe State, will repay pe rusal Dr. II D. Arnold contributes a paper on the Identity of Dengue, or Break Bone fever, and Yellow fever. Dr. Arnold, who is known to our readers as one of toe most eminent medical men in the Union, adduces many facts to prove toe truth of his theory, that “Dengue or Break Bone, is identical with Yellow-Fever, and is its milder type.” The article is written in a clear, graceful and forcible style, and commends itself to tho Faculty on account of the novelty as well as importance of toe subject matter. The learned Doctor, we notice, still feels the force and sting of too gifted Poquelin, who never missed an opportunity to satirize the profes sion, but wc must say that Moluire would have been less chary of his praise, and more tender in his ridicule of toe doctors, if ho had ever lived through one of tooss appalling yellow fe ver epidemics in Savannah, and witnessed the skill toe philanthropy and heroic devotion to duty of toe medical profession of that beautiful city. On Thursday, 6th inst,.wc started to Eufou- la, Ala., by private conveyance, behind a pair of fine blacks, and beside our friend Dr. Bryan, of Clopton, Ala. Enquiring the road to But ler at toe Agency, from the foreman, a “gem men of color, 1 ' we were wisely informed by our “sable friend,” “dat his houSe and Corban’g house made two houses, and his barn, dat is anoder house, den you takes de lei” which we did, and after three hours’ drive through, I hope, the poorest country on God’s green earth, a barren, sandy waste, too only growth being dwarf pines, gliophers, and salamanders, we came to Butler, a village of sand! Surely, if the Scriptures were literally true, when toe rains come that town would fall, “and great would not be the fell thereof” At night wc stopped at a house ten miles from Butler, on toe road to Red Bone: Wc had intended to go farther that night, but being informed by toe lady that if we left there wc would have to go all the way to “Pole Cat,” and not liking such a skunlcish establishment, wc concluded to stop there. Next day the country began to get bet ter, but the land in Taylor county and the first ten miles of Marion is as thin as the shadow of “Job’s kitten.” On our route to Lumpkin, on Friday, we passed “Fort Percy,” “Billy Wells,” “Red Bone,” “Pineville,” “Moss Hill” and “Ray Town!” In Lumpkin we stopped with friend Mans field, who keeps a large carriage establishment, and if any one should want a good buggy, that's toe place, unless they are nearer Cuthbert, then friend Leman can fill the order. Lumpkin lias improved very much since we were there in 1850. They have a beautiful college building there, and ought to have a fine school for young ladies, and doubtless soon will have. It is un der toe control of the Masons who will soon be 'duly and truly prepared' to accommodate three hundred students. There is no reason why Lumpkin cannot have one of toe most flourishing schools in south western Georgia. This is the town in which Dr. Blackburn, the Editor of the Palladium, was attempted to be assassinated J The black-hearted assassin is said to bo a certain post in front of Mansfield's gale ! If so, all toe Doctor’s hard names have gone glimmering like an old man’s dream. But I suppose the Doctor thinks there is a pleasure in being mad, which none but mad men know; so he intends to “strike till toe last armed foe expires;” for though toe post was “reviled it re viled not again.” By the way, the Palladium has received a new head since the late dressing, and is upon the whole one of the best papers in toe State. Leaving Lumpkin wc crossed at Florence, a very pretty village on the eastern bank of toe Chattahoochee, sixteen miles above Eufoula, and proceeded to Fort Browder, Ala., where wc intended to stop several days. We reached there on Saturday evening, and stopped with my friend Dr. Pickett, h clever gentleman, a good physician, a Select Master Mason, an ultra Southern rights democrat, and an iron- ribbed Methodist! A pretty good combination that, so we think. Sunday morning Dr. Bryan proceeded on his way to Clopton. On Monday evening we went in company with Dr. P. over to —, but “further deponent saitii not,” on this ‘perticular pint” On Thursday afternoon, in company with friend, P. wc went down to Eu- faula and stopped at Maj. B's. Barbour is a large county, voting, I believe, about three thousand strong, being about sixty miles long. It is contrary to the constitution of Alnbama to form any new counties. 'Tis a great pity but what wc had some check to county making in Georgia. But as it is, some man living in an obscure neighborhood, suddenly takes an “aching void” that nothing but the Legislature can fill; and as there is no chance for so distin guished an honor as it is, he consults his friends and they determine to have a new county.— They push it through the Legislature, and as matter of courtesy for his “disinterestedness” and “self-sacrificing” zeal they fill his “aching void,” and he goes to Milledgcville, receives six dollars per day for eating ground peas and ginger cakes, drinking mean whiskey, and kill ing respectable bills. I do not say that all new counties are. pro gressed by impure motives, but I do say that it is our honest conviction, that "office" sparkled before the eyes of many of those who arc so officious in forming them. At Maj. B’s wc formed the acquaintance of Col. Shorter, a brother of toe Representative, who seems to be a high-toned and talented gen tleman. Next morning we rode around town to see the place. Eufoula is a city containing about 8500 inhabitants, situated on toe western bank of toe Cliattahochce on a bluff one hun dred feet high. It has a fine male and female school and two good hotels. On the hill there are some beautiful private residences. On standing by the bank of toe river, as “the sun’s last rays were foiling from the west,” we could but repeat the whole of that beautiful poem written by that eminent scholar, statesman, sol dicr, and poel Mirabcau B. Lamar, beginning: “Oft, when toe sun along the wcsl His farewell splendor throws. Imparting to the wounded breast The spirit of repose.” It was written on the death of his wife on the banks of the Cliattahoochcc, and I could but fed that the sentiment was truly lyrical. There arc some beautiful building lots now on the bank of toe river, the citizens having left them vacant to catch toe country trade. As soon os the railroad is completed, however, the town doubtless will return to tho bluff In Eufoula there aro two staunch State Rights pa pers published, “toe Eufoula Express,” and “Spirit of the South.” We formed the acquain tance of Col. Black, the publisher of toe latter, a clever, intelligent gentleman. Wc are not personally acquainted with Col. Bullock, toe Editor, yet wc have long known him by char acter as a man of profound attainments, a thor ough scholar, a deep logician, and an honest pol- itian. But we learned while in Eufoula that he is a man of remarkable versatility of ge nius; that he can “crack a joke” and write a leader at the same time. Some years ago, Ritchie paid a high compliment to an article or his on the Tariff, in which he quoted those beautiful lines from that well known elegy ; “Full many a gem of purest raj- serene, The dark unfathomed caves of ocean bear; Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, Anri ivnetn its Rwpotniste nn tho rlouort nir •’ j heaven, twinkled in toe clear, blue sky, and threw their lovely rays in the ripling water be neath. We viewed this lovely scene with all the emotions of our soul, and felt as if wc were really traveling through the “Land of Beulah.” At length the moon, like a blushing damsel drew a veil of cloud o’er her face and in a few moments we were in Georgetown. We took breakfast in Cuthbert with a very accommodating old gentleman, but who did not giveusaveiy good breakfast From Cuthbert to Dan son, we had as traveling companions, a Mr. C. of Macon and F. of Houston county, both clever gentlemen, and wo were sorry to hear them take God’s name in vain so often. Our surly driver came very near letting the cars leave us. Wc only had time to dash "at toe tabic for dinner and into toe omnibus to prevent being left. If toe same man will ever go that rout twice he has more spunk than wc have. Wp remained one hour, and a half at Smithvillc and took the up train for Fort Val ley. N Wc got a good supper from McAfee, but wc thought then, and wc always intend to think, that he ought to have hired us a horse and bug gy that night A man who sets himself up for public business ought to accommodate the public for their money, when lie can do it and not materially injure himself But we could not get it there, and had to remain till morn ing. Sunday morning wc arrived safe and sound at our domicil in Knoxville, Georgia. Knoxville, Ga. W. J. S. No Ganger from a Plethoric Cotton CROP. Mr. Clbby :—The disposition of many is to depress toe price of cotton by crying out 3,700,. 000 bales of Cotton. Twenty-three hundred thousand, up to Jan. 28, has been received in toe ports. Eleven hundred and fifty thousand of that amount has been sent to foreign coun tries, and four hundred thousand to Northern ports. Out of toe amount sent to foreign ports, England has only had six hundred and fifty thousand sent to her, up to the 28th January. The stock in toe ports in the United States is eight hundred and fifty thousand bales. Allow England out of that eight hundred and fifty thousand bales, six hundred thousand bales.— Thai with toe amount sent England would make twelve hundred and fifty thousand. Tliea say 1,700,000 bales more, will be received; of that seventeen hundred thousand, England ac cording to her own say so, must have one million more bales of cotton at least That will leave seven hundred thousand bales of the seven teen hundred; add the two hundred thousand of the stock in this country, that England does not take to toe seven hundred thousand of the sev enteen hundred thousand bales yet to be re ceived, and it will leave nine hundred thousand bales to be divided between France, other for eign countries, and the United States. Say the crop is thirty-seven hundred thousand bales— nay four million. England mast have two mil lion three hundred thousand l>ales; France seven hundred thousand; the United States seven hundred thousand, and other foreign countries one to two hundred thousand bales, and what is loft even of a four million crop ? So j-ousee, Mr. Clisbj’, there is nothing to be feared as to price, with a crop of four million bales. The planters have the price thej’ will taka for toe remainder of their crop, in their own hands. They can get twelve to fourteen cents for it, if they choose, bj’ holding it until April or May, for the receipts will decrease from this week out, for the receipts last j’ear, fi-ora this until July, never was so heavy in anj’ former year. COMMERCE. For tha Telegraph. Ah Ocean Picture. Tis night; tempestuous, terrific night; When Neptune and his Queen nymph Amphitrite, With zeal engaged, in fierce connubial broil, Have made the great deep from its fountains boil Up billows raging like their royal ire; Npw blackest ink, next inslint liquid fire. Like Otus and Ephitltcs’ mountain pile, They reared to form ’twixt heaven and earth a stile, Surge mounted upon surge is thrust up high, In seeming combat with the angry sky. And see von ship; though stripped of mast and sail, With lightning speed she drives before the gale. But soon abruptly stopping the pressed race, She turns, as il her enemy to face. Alas! 'tis only that she can-lot bravo A foe more subtly armed than wind or wave; A breaker ’neath the waters all unseen Has cleft her hull; behold her how careen For a few moments, then go whirling down ’Mid piercing shrieks the tempest’s din can’t drown. Kow look again; the scene is reappeared; With sea to quiet lulled and sky bright cleared. Ton boat that seems on the broad main a speck Bears four surviving sufferers from the wreck. Their wasted forms half clad—their heads all bare, They scorch beneath the noonday’s burning glare, Ant? shiver with the chill of night dew damp. Their hearts and faces bearing savage stamp, Of many days of famine, they agree That one be slain to save tho other three. The fetal lot soon cast has doomed a lad; Those that escaped, all men, though well nigh mad With hunger’s painful gnawings, cannot hear Unmoved, the startled cry of hopeless fear; Nor arc they proof against the mute appeal Of that sad look,—'twould touch a heart of steel. And ere the horrid bloody deed is done, Let’s try the chances o’er again cries one.

Wc were about to chronicle too ruins of Em pire in toe subversion of Hayti and Faustin I, by a ruthless nigger, who rode into town on horseback shouting treason, stirring up revolt and heading an insurrection of five persons in red flannel brooches.

The States throws cold water upon toe Her ald’s account of this affair in the Senate, thus: “One of toe scandals most notable at present, is the manner in which toe secret session of the Senate is invaded; and toe occurrences which take place there, under the most solemn seal of privacy, paraded into the public newspapers.— A most conspicuous instance of this is furnished in the telegraphic columns of toe N. Y. Herald, of Saturday last, in which we have a partial ac count of a grossly personal debate occurring between two Senators. This communication was evidently mado to the reporter for toe Her ald by a Senator, and ns obviously made with a view of biasing and discoloring the public mind in reference to one of his comrades in that body. While it is admitted that high words did pass in the course of an angry discussion, wc are as sured, on good authority, that no such scene as the one described in the Herald took place in toe Senate. What a miserable spectacle it is to see a grave Senator using the anonymous agency of a venal press, for the plain purpose of degra ding, in the public esteem, one of his compeers. Both of toe gentlemen indicated in the despatch, we feel sure can, and will, take care of their honor;.and neither needs, we trust, the instru mentality of an anonymous telegraph to adver tise his valor, or shelter his chivalry from popu lar suspicion. Equally garbled and mendacious is too ac count in the same despatch of the way in which a distinguished Senator is reported to have as sumed the magister morum 1 of the body, and chastized in appropriate words of denunciation the two Senators involved. In the heat of the occasion, and on toe impulse of toe moment, such words may have been spoken, but with characteristic frankness were immediately with drawn and voluntarily atoned for. But it was not convenient to too Herald’s informant to couple with his account this fact.

From the Federal Union, Jan. 95. Letter ol Resignation of Iverson L. HARRIS, ESQ. Milledgeville, Jan. 7, 1859. To Hb Excellency, Joseph E. Brown : Sib : Elected, as I have been informed only through a paragraph in the newspapers, by toe legislature at its last annual session, as one of a commission to codify toe laws of toe State, whilst absent on toe Circuit, without being a candidate, indeed, even in ignorance that a meas ure was in progress authorising an election, I have been so deeply impressed by this mark of their confidence, that I have struggled to make my personal interests yield to their wishes, but I am constrained by obligations of duty to decline an acceptance of the high honor so handsomely conferred. I have sought with great anxiety to reconcile existing engagements with the requirements of toe legislature, but such Is their pressure, and probable duration of some of them, before thej’ can be closed by trial that toe period of twenty months prescribed, for the completion of the code, would have to be trenched upon, possibly so much, by fulfiling those engagements, as to render it utterly impracticable for me to do my full share of the labor of the commission, within toe uncertain quantity of time which may beat my command. This consideration makes it imperative that I should tender my resignation, for the legislature doubtless expected all of toe time of the commis sioners to be given in good faith to the perform ance of this great intellectual labor. I cannot consent for a moment to hold an office for the performance of the duties of which I am unable to bring the full measure of service expected. Whilst this resignation is placed upon toe reasons already assigned, there are others of an insuperable character, springing from a survev of the task imposed, which might well deter a bolder, more sanguine, and more industrious man than myself; frotn attempting to compass it within the prescribed time. The task is no less than to present, in a con densed form, “toe laws of Georgia, whether de rived from toe common law—the Constitution of toe State, and of toe United States—the stat utes of the State—the English statues of force, and tho decisions of toe Supreme Court of Geor gia.” It is very evident from this enumeration, that toe principles of the common law, usually in force in this State prior to the 14th .May, 1776, declared operative by toe art of 1784, are to be extracted from toe old common law reports, and elementary books, treating of the various sub jects comprehended within its vast scope, and toe rules thus collected from hundreds of vol umes are to be compressed into a volume, and when adopted, are “to supercede all other laws and decisions.” The various subjects of “agen- cj’,” “conveyances,” “corporations,” “deeds,” “estates,” “partnerships,” “legacies,” “plead ings,” “promissory notes,” “wills,’’ Ac.; Ac., Ac., are to be examined bj r toe commission, and all the principles belonging to each of these sub jects, and which enter hourly into toe business, or affect tho relations of our people, are carefully to be selected, omitting none of force—and to be stated with precision. Can it be possible that any three gentlemen, however profoundly acquainted with the com mon law—thus required to be codified—could within toe time prescribed, perform such a work, either creditably to themselves, or beneficially to the State? The act of the legislature is very far from being indefinite; toe code being designed to su percede “all other laws and decisions, and to establish fixed and uniform law”—it is manifest that a code omiting toe inclusion of the subjects I have mentioned, would not conform to legisla tive will, or if it did, it would leave the people in many cases unprovided with any rule for the protection of their rights—if such an imperfect code should be made to supercede all other laws, &c. It would not bo difficult to moke a compilation but a thorough digest of principles compress ed into the fewest words, consistent with per spicuity, is in my estimation a work of great labor, physical gnd mental, apd requiring, for its proper completion, ample time.

It lias been settled hr'3 rent judgment of all parties, and |,yj| tion of the Constitution-now nolosl dispute.
